Description

Notebook computer and linkage mechanism

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to a notebook computer and a linkage mechanism, and more particularly to a notebook computer with a pivot structure and a linkage mechanism disposed on the pivot structure.

Background

Generally, in order to increase the way of heat generated by the heat source escaping to the outside of the notebook computer, some manufacturers open a heat dissipation opening in the main housing near the top side of the display body. With such a configuration, the heat dissipation port on the top side of the main body case is generally shielded by a cover pivoted to the main body case in order to maintain a flat appearance. When the display body is opened relative to the main machine shell through the pivot mechanism, the cover body is opened together with the display body relative to the main machine shell through the pivot mechanism, and the heat dissipation opening is exposed.

However, the cover body pivots with the display body relative to the main body housing, regardless of the pivot angle of the display body relative to the main body housing. Therefore, if different users pivot the display body to different opening angles relative to the main machine shell, the cover body can also pivot to different opening angles relative to the main machine shell. Therefore, the opening angle of the cover body relative to the main machine shell can not be ensured, and the heat energy can not be effectively dissipated from the heat dissipation opening exposed by the cover body.

Disclosure of Invention

The utility model aims to provide a notebook computer and a linkage mechanism, which are used for ensuring the opening angle of a cover body relative to a main machine shell and ensuring that heat energy is effectively dissipated from an opening exposed by the cover body.

The notebook computer disclosed by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a main machine base, a display machine body, a pivoting mechanism, a cover body and a linkage mechanism. The main machine base comprises a main machine shell with an opening. The display body is pivoted to the host shell through a pivoting mechanism, and the pivoting mechanism comprises a pivot which rotates along with the display body. The cover body is pivoted to the main machine shell and used for shielding the opening of the main machine shell. The linkage mechanism comprises a fixed rod, a movable rod, a guide member and a rotating ring. The fixed rod piece is fixed on the host shell. The movable rod piece is rotatably arranged on the pivot and is pivoted on the cover body. The guide piece is movably arranged on the fixed rod piece and the movable rod piece. The rotating ring is fixedly arranged on the pivot and provided with a first abutting part. When the display body rotates from a covering position to a first opening position, the first abutting part rotates along with the pivot, and the movable rod piece is guided by the guide piece to rotate relatively to the pivot so as to open the cover body. When the display body rotates from the first open position to the second open position, the first abutting part is separated from the movable rod piece, and the movable rod piece is limited by the guide piece to stop relative pivoting.

In the present embodiment, the main housing 110 has a front side 113 and a rear side 114 opposite to each other. The rear side 114 is closer to the two pivoting mechanisms 300, the two covers 400 and the two linkage mechanisms 500 than the front side 113. It should be noted that, since the two pivoting mechanisms 300, the two covers 400 and the two linking mechanisms 500 have similar structures, only the detailed structures and connection relationships of one pivoting mechanism 300, one cover 400 and one linking mechanism 500 connected to each other will be described below.

The display housing 210 is pivotally connected to the main housing 110 by a pivot mechanism 300. In detail, in the present embodiment, the pivoting mechanism 300 includes a first fixing plate 310, a pivot 320 and a second fixing plate 330. Opposite ends of the pivot 320 are rotatably disposed on the first fixing plate 310 and fixed to the second fixing plate 330, respectively. The first fixing plate 310 is fixed to the main housing 110. The second fixing plate 330 is fixed to the display housing 210 such that the pivot 320 rotates with the display housing 210.

The cover 400 is pivotally connected to the main housing 110 and is used for shielding one of the openings 111 of the main housing 110. In detail, in the present embodiment, the cover 400 includes a cover 410 and an assembly rod 420. The cover 410 is pivotally connected to the main housing 110 and covers the opening 111 of the main housing 110. One end of the assembly bar 420 is fixed to the cover 410.

In this embodiment, the linking mechanism 500 includes a fixed rod 510, a movable rod 520, a guiding member 530, a fixed column 540, an elastic element 550 and a rotating ring 560.

The fixing bar 510 stands on the first fixing plate 310 and is fixed to the main body housing 110 by the first fixing plate 310. In addition, in the present embodiment, the fixing lever 510 has a first guide groove 511 and an inner wall 5110 forming the first guide groove 511. The first guide groove 511 is, for example, arc-shaped and extends toward the main body housing 110. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first guiding groove may extend along an oblique line instead of being curved.

In this embodiment, the movable member 520 includes a pivot end 521, a connecting end 522, a connecting portion 523 and a second abutting portion 524. The pivot end 521 and the link end 522 are opposite to each other and connected to each other by a connection portion 523. The second abutting portion 524 is located at the connecting portion 523. The pivot end 521 is rotatably disposed on the pivot 320. The linkage end 522 is pivotally disposed at an end of the assembly lever 420 remote from the cover 410. In addition, in the present embodiment, the connecting portion 523 has a second guiding groove 5230, and the second guiding groove 5230 extends in a linear direction, for example.

In this embodiment, the guide 530 is, for example, in a column shape. The guide 530 is slidably disposed in the first guide groove 511 of the fixed link 510 and the second guide groove 5230 of the connection portion 523 of the movable link 520.

Opposite ends of the fixing post 540 are respectively fixed to the linkage end 522 and the end of the assembly rod 420, which is far away from the cover 410, of the cover 400. That is, the linkage end 522 is pivotally disposed at an end of the assembly rod 420 away from the cover 410 through the fixing post 540. In the present embodiment, the fixing post 540 is between the cover 410 and the front side 113.

The elastic element 550 is, for example, a tension spring, and opposite ends of the elastic element 550 are respectively fixed to the guide 530 and the fixing post 540.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 6 is a perspective view of a rotating ring and a movable bar of the notebook computer in fig. 1. The rotating ring 560 is fixed on the pivot 320 and has a first abutting portion 561. In this embodiment, the first abutting portion 561 and the second abutting portion 524 are, for example, bumps, and the first abutting portion 561 is used to abut against the second abutting portion 524.

Referring to fig. 2, when the display housing 210 is located at a covering position, the display housing 210 is stacked on the main housing 110, and the cover 410 is closed relative to the main housing 110 to cover the opening 111.

Referring to fig. 7 to 9, fig. 7 is a partially enlarged view of a side view of the display body of the notebook computer in fig. 1 in a first open position. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the pivot mechanism and the link mechanism of the notebook computer in fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a rotating ring and a movable bar of the notebook computer of fig. 7.

When the display housing 210 rotates from the covering position to a first opening position along an opening direction D, the display housing 210 and the main housing 110 form an opening angle θ1 (as shown in fig. 7), and the first abutting portion 561 rotates along with the pivot 320. When the first abutting portion 561 rotates along with the pivot 320, the stretched elastic element 550 releases the elastic potential energy to drive the guide 530 to slide in the first guide groove 511 and the second guide groove 5230, so that the movable rod 520 rotates relative to the pivot 320. As the movable rod 520 rotates relative to the pivot 320, the second abutting portion 524 abuts against the first abutting portion 561, and the side of the cover 410 away from the assembly rod 420 is pivoted in a direction away from the main housing 110 by the fixed column 540 and the assembly rod 420. In this way, the cover 410 and the main housing 110 form a cover opening angle θ2 (as shown in fig. 7). When the display housing 210 is located at the first open position, the opening angle θ1 between the display housing 210 and the main body housing 110 is, for example, in a range of greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 10 degrees. That is, when the display housing 210 is opened 0 to 10 degrees relative to the main housing 110, the cover 410 exposes the opening 111 as the display housing 210 is opened relative to the main housing 110.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the sound emitted by the speaker in the main housing 110 can also be transmitted to the outside of the main housing 110 through the opening 111. In addition, in the present embodiment, the cover 410 is closed and opened relative to the main housing 110 to respectively cover or expose the opening 111, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the proportion of the opening exposed to the outside can also be adjusted by covering the closing and opening of the main body case. That is, in other embodiments, the opening may be reduced and enlarged by covering the opening and closing of the main housing. In addition, in other embodiments, a fan may be added on the side of the cover close to the main housing, so that the fan can guide the external cool air to the inside of the main housing for heat dissipation when the opening is exposed.

Please refer to fig. 10 to 12. Fig. 10 is a partial enlarged view of a side view of the display body of the notebook computer of fig. 1 in a second open position. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a pivoting mechanism and a linking mechanism of the notebook computer in fig. 10. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of a rotating ring and a movable bar of the notebook computer of fig. 10.

When the display housing 210 further rotates in the opening direction D from the first opening position to a second opening position, the opening angle θ1 between the display housing 210 and the main housing 110 increases (as shown in fig. 10), and the first abutting portion 561 further rotates along with the pivot 320. When the first abutting portion 561 further rotates along with the pivot 320, the first abutting portion 561 is separated from the second abutting portion 524 of the movable rod 520. In addition, the guide 530 abuts against the inner wall surface 5110 of the fixing lever 510 in which the first guide groove 511 is formed. Thus, the movable rod 520 is restricted by the guide 530 to stop rotating relative to the pivot 320. In this way, the cover 410 does not pivot further relative to the main housing 110, such that the cover opening angle θ2 (shown in fig. 10) between the cover 410 and the main housing 110 remains unchanged. When the display housing 210 is located at the second open position, the opening angle θ1 between the display housing 210 and the main body housing 110 is, for example, in a range of greater than 10 degrees and less than or equal to 100 degrees. That is, when the display housing 210 is opened more than 10 degrees with respect to the main housing 110, the cover 410 is not opened further with respect to the main housing 110 along with the display housing 210.

Although the present utility model has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited thereto, but rather may be modified or altered somewhat by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model.
