Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a computer capable of processing multisound information and obtaining a high acoustic effect by opening right and left acoustic cases through hinges in the rotated state of a display case up to its directed position. CONSTITUTION:The computer is constituted of an operation part 22 such as a keyboard for allowing an operator to execute I/O operation, a body case 21 for storing the operation part 22, a flat type display means 12 such as a liquid crystal display, a display case 11 for storing the means 12, and acoustic cases 1, 2 respectively storing speakers 3, 4. The rear end of the case 11 is rotatably supported by the case 21, and at the time of using the case 11, the case 11 is rotated up to the erected position so as to be observed by the operator. The rear end parts of the cases 1, 2 are respectively supported by the rear end part of the case 11 so as to be optionally rotated and the cases 1, 2 are opened to the right and left through hinges when the case 11 is erected. Since the acoustic cases 1, 2 independent of the body case 21 are arranged on the right and left positions, a high acoustic effect for multisound information can be obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer having a compact structure such as a laptop personal computer or a notebook personal computer having an opening / closing structure for a display.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to the high performance of CPUs, high density mounting of boards, increase of memory capacity, downsizing and high capacity of disk devices, and thinning of display devices typified by liquid crystals, they have been used in personal applications. The spread of compact computers that can be used is remarkable. Especially on a personal computer,
Like the laptop type and notebook type, the display unit is separate from the main unit, and when used, the display unit is rotated to a position where it can be seen, and when not in use, the display unit is closed like a lid to make it compact and portable. Things are becoming mainstream. It is predicted that such a trend toward compactness will be similarly advanced in larger computers including workstations in the future.

On the other hand, along with the development of communication networks and the digitization of AV information, in recent years, efforts have been made to realize multimedia such as mounting a sound support function on a computer.

An example of the configuration of the above-mentioned conventional computer will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the shape of a conventional computer. In FIG. 3, 103 is a speaker and 12
2 is a keyboard for inputting, 121 is a speaker 10
3 and the keyboard 122 are housed in a plurality of holes 12 so that the operator can hear the sound of the speaker 103.
1a is provided. Reference numeral 112 is a display means, and 111 is a display case accommodating the display means 112, which is rotatably supported near the rear end of the main body case 121. It can be rotated more than 90 degrees to a standing position for viewing.

[0006]

However, with the above-mentioned configuration, when handling multi-sound information, it is difficult to accommodate a plurality of speakers 103 in a compact body case 121 and obtain good sound quality. Had a problem.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has two acoustic cases, each accommodating a speaker, rotatably supported by the display case in the vicinity of their respective side end portions, and the display case is placed in a standing position for the operator to see. (EN) Provided is a computer capable of handling multi-sound information and obtaining a good acoustic effect when an operator opens and uses the acoustic case to the left and right in a state of being rotated up to.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, in the computer of the present invention, two acoustic cases, each housing a speaker, are rotatably supported by the display case in the vicinity of their respective side edges. In a state in which the display case is rotated to a position where the operator stands for viewing, the operator uses the acoustic case with the left and right sides open.

[0009]

In the computer of the present invention, due to the above-described configuration, two acoustic cases independent of the main body case are arranged on the left and right sides with respect to the operator, so that a good acoustic effect for multi-sound information etc. can be obtained. In addition to being obtained, when not in use, each acoustic case and the display case can be rotated and closed like a lid, so that it can be made compact and portable.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A computer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing a schematic configuration of a computer in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 22 is an operation unit such as a keyboard through which an operator inputs and outputs, 21 is a main body case for accommodating the operation unit 22, 1
Reference numeral 2 is a flat type display means such as a liquid crystal display, 11 is a display case for accommodating the display means 12, the rear end of which is rotatably supported by the main body case 21 and can be rotated to a position where the operator stands in order to look at the time of use. .. Reference numerals 3 and 4 are speakers, and reference numerals 1 and 2 are acoustic cases for accommodating the speakers 3 and 4, respectively, and side edges thereof are rotatably supported by the side edges of the display case 11 so that the display case 11 is left and right. It has a structure that allows you to open the Kannon. When not in use, as shown in FIG. 2, the acoustic cases 1 and 2 are rotated to be closed on the display case 11, and the display case 11 is also closed on the main body case 21 like a lid to form a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape. It is composed.

In the computer configured as described above, the acoustic case 1 independent of the main body case 21 is provided.
Since and 2 are respectively arranged on the left and right with respect to the operator, a good acoustic effect can be obtained for multi-sound information and the like, and when not in use, the acoustic cases 1 and 2 and the display case 11 are rotated to cover the lid. By closing like this, a compact and portable structure can be realized.

[0013]

As described above, the computer of the present invention is
The rear end portion of the display case is rotatably supported by the main body case so that the operator can rotate it to a position where it can be seen, and the side end portions of the two acoustic cases are rotatably supported by the display case and displayed. Since the operator can open and use the left and right sides of the case with the case upright, two separate acoustic cases separate from the main body case are placed on the left and right sides of the operator, so multi-sound information etc. On the other hand, a good acoustic effect can be obtained, and when not in use, the acoustic case and the display case can be rotated and closed like a lid, so that a compact and portable structure can be achieved.
