Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable computer, particularly a portable computer such as a personal computer and a word processor in which a display and a keyboard are integrated with the main body.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In general, portable computer, notebook, one of folding, called the book type or palm-top, are those that can carry used anywhere easily equity Chi because it can be used in the battery.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a usage example of a conventional portable computer, in which a keyboard 1 is provided in a portable computer main body, and a display 2 is provided so as to be openable and closable. FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line AA 'in FIG. 5, in which a rotary shaft 5 fixed to a connector lid 10 provided on the rear surface of the main body is rotatably attached to a bearing 4 provided on a main body undercover 7. . FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line AA 'when the lid 10 of the connector is opened in the direction of arrow b.

In this conventional portable computer, only the connector lid is provided on the rear surface of the computer, and the keyboard tilt angle adjusting mechanism is not provided. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the keyboard 1 is tilted at an angle with the book 9 or the like as a stand so that the keys can be easily typed.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional portable computer described above, the keyboard does not have a tilt angle adjustment mechanism, so it is difficult for the operator to see the keys during keyboard input work, or it is difficult to type the keys and a book or the like is placed under the computer so that the keyboard has a tilt angle. Even if it was attached, there was a problem that it was slippery and unstable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a portable computer capable of adjusting the tilt angle of the keyboard while eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks, improving the operability of keyboard input work and stabilizing the operation.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The morphological computer of the present invention includes a bearing provided on the back side of the main body, a rotary shaft rotatably mounted on the bearing, a tilt cover fixed to the rotary shaft, and a back cover of the main body. The tilt cover that is provided on the rear surface of the main body and includes a fixing claw made of an elastic body and two or more fixing grooves that engage with the fixing claw provided on the rotating shaft. Is rotated about the fixed shaft to open the lower side of the main body, and the tilt cover supports the rear end of the main body to incline the keyboard provided on the main body.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are external perspective views of a portable computer according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing a state where the keyboard 1 is not tilted and a state where it is tilted, respectively. 3 and 4 are a BB 'sectional view of FIG. 1 and a CC' sectional view of FIG. 2, respectively.

A tilt cover 3 is provided on the back surface of the main body, and a rotary shaft 15 fixed to the tilt cover 3 is rotatably attached to a bearing 4 provided on a main body under cover 17. The tilt cover 3 is centered on the rotary shaft 15. Rotate to. The fixing claw 6 made of an elastic body provided on the under cover 17 engages with the fixing V-shaped groove 8 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 15 to fix the tilt cover 3 so as not to rotate.

When the keyboard 1 is not tilted, the tilt cover 3 is housed in the back surface of the computer body as shown in FIG. When the tilt cover 3 is housed in this manner, the tilt cover 3 is fixed by engaging one of the V-shaped grooves 8 provided on the rotary shaft 5 with the fixing claw.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the keyboard 1 is tilted and the tilt cover 3 is opened in the direction of arrow a from the state of FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the tilt cover 3 is rotated from the state of FIG. 3 about the rotation shaft 15 in the direction of arrow a by about 180 °.

Next, the opening / closing operation of the tilt cover will be described. Although the tilt cover 3 is fixed by the fixing claw 6 and the V-shaped groove 8 in FIG. 3, the fixing claw 6 engaged with the V-shaped groove 8 by rotating the tilt cover 3 in the arrow a direction. Since it is made of an elastic material, it is curved and pushed out from the V-shaped groove 8. When the tilt cover 3 rotates about 180 °, the fixing claw 6 engages with the other V-shaped groove 8 and the tilt cover 3 is fixed again. In this way, as shown in FIG. 2, the tilt cover 3 lifts the back side of the main body and tilts the entire computer, thereby making the keyboard 1 angled and improving the operability of the keyboard.

In the present embodiment, the tilt cover 3 is used in two ways, that is, when the tilt cover 3 is closed and when it is opened, but the present invention is not limited to these, and the rotary shaft 5 is used in FIGS. 3 and 4. In addition to the two V-shaped grooves 8 shown in the above, by providing several fixing V-shaped grooves at other positions, it is possible to gradually increase the keyboard angle in three or more steps. You can adjust the keyboard angle to suit your preference.

[0015]

[Effect of the device]

 As is apparent from the above description, the present invention provides the tilt cover on the back of the portable computer so that the keyboard has an angle so that the operator can easily see the keyboard and hit the keys.
