  The present invention relates to a personal computer in which a simple computer is mounted on the back of a liquid crystal display by mechanical fixing means.

  Furthermore, the present invention relates to a personal computer having a simple computer mounted on the back surface of a liquid crystal display, and more particularly to a personal computer having the simple computer mounted on the back surface of the liquid crystal display according to the VESA standard. The present invention also relates to a method for assembling the personal computer.

  Furthermore, the present invention relates to a personal computer in which a simple computer is mounted on the back surface of a liquid crystal display, and the simple computer is mounted on the back surface of the liquid crystal display with Velcro (registered trademark).

  In the case of a desktop computer, a computer usually called a personal computer is conventionally a motherboard with a microcomputer (there are several motherboard standards, but the smallest one is 9.0 inches (229 mm) x 7.5 inches). CPU with (191 mm) (FlexATX), which is called a 12.0 inch (305 mm) × 13.0 inch (330 mm) (AT)) and a drive device such as a hard disk or DVD / CDROM. Generally, it is composed of a large box called a 15-inch to 19-inch monitor and a keyboard. In such a desktop computer, the idea that a keyboard is not necessary is thin, and the idea of mounting a large and heavy CPU on the back of a monitor has never appeared.

  However, recently, a simple personal computer called an intelligent terminal that is customized for incorporation into a device limited to a function that executes a specific application program and that is equipped with Windows XP has come to be known. And the idea of mounting the PC itself on the back of the monitor is inevitable. Non-Patent Document 1 proposes a modular computer in one form of the intelligent terminal. In the present application, the simple computer is used as a term meaning these intelligent terminals.

The outline of this modular computer is as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 shows an outline of a system block diagram of the intelligent terminal disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1. As shown in the figure, this system has the following features.
(A) With regard to the I / O function, the width and height dimensions of the board are reduced by limiting the types of connectors to be mounted (the length in the depth direction is mounted on the so-called board). (It is determined by the number of parts such as IC, and the width and height are uniquely determined by the shape, size, and quantity of each connector part to be mounted).
(B) The external storage device to be mounted is limited to stationary media, and aims to improve maintainability and reliability.
(C) The system is designed by adopting only a member that does not use a rotating fan for cooling, thereby supporting power saving, downsizing, and industrial specification applications (temperature 5 ° C. to 55 ° C., etc.).
(D) Instead of making the usability of a personal computer equivalent to that of a general-purpose machine, it aims to realize something that is slightly different from consumer use by limiting its application.

  The basic elements designed from the above viewpoint are as follows. Natural cooling CPU with heat-dissipating fins, operation clock generator 1, on-board mounted RAM (256MB) 2, companion chip 3 for controlling I / O devices, Ethernet for LAN connection control (registered trademark) Control chip 4, audio chip 5 for audio input / output, ROM 6 for storing system BIOS, compact flash (registered trademark) memory card 7 for storing OS and application programs, and for supplying power necessary for the system board A DC / DC converter (power control unit) 8, an external AC / DC adapter 9 that creates a DC power source from an AC power source, and a CPU. By mounting these on a system board (motherboard) and mounting the following as a connector unit that interfaces with externally connected I / O devices, a desired system can be realized.

  In addition, as external interfaces, power SW and display indicator (LED lamp), microphone and speaker connection terminal, USB connector for 4 ports (2 USB ports x 2), RJ45 connector (Ethernet (registered trademark) connection terminal) ) And a mini D-Sub 15 pin connector (CRT / LCD monitor connection terminal).

  On the other hand, there is a standard FPMPMI (Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface) for attaching a liquid crystal display and an arm to a standard generally called a VESA standard, and two standards of 75 mm × 75 mm and 100 mm × 100 mm are defined. Non-Patent Document 2 lists "VESA standard display of each manufacturer that can be attached" that matches the standard.

  By implementing the method of the present invention, it is possible to easily assemble a personal computer with a liquid crystal display from a commercially available liquid crystal display and an intelligent terminal.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 8 is a view of a conventional liquid crystal display 90 as viewed from the back. The liquid crystal display 90 is attached to a stand 92 via a mounting member 91 conforming to a VESA standard of 75 mm × 75 mm or 100 mm × 100 mm, and stands on a desk. It is a configuration that can be placed. The attachment portion 91 and the stand 92 are configured to be tiltable back and forth with respect to the operator via the pivotal support portion 93. Reference numeral 94 denotes a plug for transmitting an image signal to the liquid crystal display 90.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the specific embodiment of the present invention has two upper portions of a mounting member 91 (shown in FIG. 1) that conforms to a conventional 75 mm × 75 mm or 100 mm × 100 mm VESA standard. The mounter member 10 is screwed using the mounting screw holes 95, 95 (see FIG. 2), and a simple personal computer 50 called an intelligent terminal is mounted on the mounter member 10, and a stand 92 can be attached at the same time. It is what I did.

  As shown in detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mounter member 10 of the present invention is configured by a member having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is opposed to the screw fixing surface 11 on the liquid crystal display 90 side. It is composed of a PC holding surface 12 on the side and a PC support surface 13 on the lower side. The mounter member 10 is not simply a U-shape, but as shown in FIG. 3, the personal computer pressing surface 12 is configured to be slightly inclined inward with respect to the screwing surface 11 and mounted. A further effect can be expected if the personal computer 50 is configured to be firmly held by the elastic force of the personal computer holding surface 12 (see the state of the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3). In this case, it is conceivable that the upper end portion of the personal computer pressing surface 12 is configured as the curved portion 14 so as not to damage the personal computer 50 to be mounted. By adopting such a configuration, the size of the mounter member 10 (the size in the thickness direction of the U-shaped member) is 30 mm without strictly considering the PC thickness size (generally about 30 mm) to be mounted. To about 40 mm.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the present invention, the personal computer 50 can be mounted without being obstructed by the pivot 93 of the stand 92 that protrudes from the back of the commercially available liquid crystal display 90. Is possible. Further, by providing the screw fastening openings 15 and 15 at positions corresponding to the attachment screw holes 95 and 95 of the personal computer holding surface 12, it is possible to achieve the ease of screw closing.

  The back surface of a normal commercially available liquid crystal display 90 may be a type in which a pivot portion 93 of a stand 92 protruding from the back surface of the liquid crystal display 90 exists as in the embodiment shown in FIGS. There is also a type in which there is no protrusion and the flat VESA standard mounting surface is exposed. Even in the case of the liquid crystal display 90 having such a flat back surface, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be applied, but it is extremely easy to not be limited to this. I can judge. That is, it is possible to adopt a configuration using four screw holes.

  Here, as another embodiment of the present invention, a configuration using four screw holes will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the mounting portion 91 on the back surface of the liquid crystal display 90 has a substantially flat shape, and the mounter member 20 is configured by using two screw fixing holes on the left and right. The mounter member 20 includes two mounter unit members 21, 21. Each mounter unit member 21 has a substantially Z-shaped cross section, and has a screw stop surface 23 and a rising surface 24 on the liquid crystal display 90 side. And a personal computer support surface 25. The method of supporting the personal computer 50 with respect to the mounter unit member 21 is simple by screwing, but using another method as appropriate can be carried out very easily without requiring inventive power.

  Further, although the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is described as having two mounter unit members 21, 21, it is easy to configure the mounter unit member 29 as one member as shown in FIG. 5. Is possible.

  As described above, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the personal computer 50 can be arranged at a predetermined distance from the back surface of the liquid crystal display 90 by the rising surface 24, which hinders heat radiation of the liquid crystal display 90 as a heat source. It has an effect that does not cause any problems.

  Still another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 shows a substantially box-shaped mounter member 30. The box-shaped mounter member 30 includes a screw fixing surface 31, a rising surface 32, 32, a personal computer support surface 33, 33, and a bottom surface of the bottom surface on the liquid crystal display 90 side. The personal computer support tongue-shaped part 34 is comprised. Screw holes for the screws 35, 35, 35, 35 are formed in the screw retaining surface 31 with dimensions that conform to the VESA standard. The reason why the personal computer support tongue 34 has a shape as shown in the drawing is to open a space for the interface of the personal computer 50 to be mounted. There is no problem with supporting the personal computer 50 in one piece. Further, by providing the screw tightening openings 36 and 36 at positions corresponding to the mounting screw holes 95 and 95 of the personal computer support surfaces 33 and 33, it is possible to achieve the ease of screw closing.

  Although not specifically described in each embodiment, each of the mounter members 10, 20, or 30 has a screw-fastening hole conforming to the VESA standard on the screw-fastening surface 11, 21, or 31 on the liquid crystal display 90 side. It is provided at intervals of 100 mm. As a result, a simple computer can be mounted very easily using the back surface of the commercially available liquid crystal display 90, and a computer with a display can be configured.

  The screwing holes of the screwing surfaces 11, 21, or 31 are preferably formed in a recess that is embossed so that the head of the screw does not jump out to the surface of the mounter member on the personal computer mounting side. Further, it is not necessary to separately form two screw fastening openings 36 and 36 at positions corresponding to the mounting screw holes 95 and 95 of the PC support surfaces 33 and 33, and they may be formed as an integral oval shape. . The same applies to other embodiments.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the back of the commercially available liquid crystal display 90 is a type in which screws are not attached and screw holes 95, 95... For attaching screws for attaching a stand or the like are provided. There is also. In this case, as a matter of course, the step of removing the screws is not necessary in the assembly step.

  FIG. 10 shows a mounter member 20 for attaching a simple computer to the back surface of the liquid crystal display 90. Screw fixing holes conforming to the VESA standard are provided at intervals of 75 mm and 100 mm, respectively. Thereby, it is not necessary to prepare two types of mounter members 20.

  In FIG. 11, the mounter member 10 to which the simple computer is attached is attached to the back surface of the liquid crystal display 90 with Velcro (registered trademark) 60 and 60. In addition, what is indicated by numerals 61 and 61 is a double-sided adhesive tape for adhering each Velcro (registered trademark) 60 and 60 to the back surface of the liquid crystal display 90 and the mounter member 10. 12 and 13 are rear views of the liquid crystal display 90 when the simple computer is attached directly to the rear surface of the liquid crystal display 90 with Velcro (registered trademark) 60, 60, and FIG. 13 is a detailed view thereof. is there. With such a configuration, a personal computer equipped with a simple computer on the back of the liquid crystal display can be easily configured without any special process.
