Description

A DESK WITH COMPUTER WITH A COMPUTER

The present invention relates to a desk equipped with a computer to secure the space on the desk as wide as possible to improve the working environment of the computer user.

Today's personal computers vary slightly by manufacturer, but are available in desktop and tower formats. Such personal computers are a significant burden in size for use in offices and homes, and this trend will become even greater as computer systems become more powerful.

1 shows a desk on which a conventional desktop computer system is installed. As shown in FIG. 1, the desk 100 is provided with a computer body 112, a monitor 114, a keyboard 116, a mouse 118, and a speaker 120 constituting the desktop computer system 110. It is. The monitor 114, the keyboard 116, the mouse 118 and the speaker 120 are all connected to the computer main body 112 by cables 124.

As described above, the personal computer system 110 installed in the desk 100 of the office or home has the following problems.

First, since the computer body 112 occupies much of the workspace of the desk 100, it is very inconvenient for the user to perform other tasks on the desk. On the other hand, it is not good in appearance that the bulky computer main body 112 among the components of the computer system is herding on the desk. (For example, there may not be enough space on the desk to install it under the desk.)

Secondly, the work for installing / removing peripheral devices such as an input / output device in the computer body 112 is very inconvenient. For example, even if the speaker 120 is to be installed, the monitor 114 must be moved to another place, and the computer body 112 must be rotated to plug the speaker into the speaker output jack, and then the computer body and the monitor must be moved back to their original state. Very uncomfortable

In addition, a number of cables 124 are generally connected to the rear side of the computer main body in an erect manner. Thus, when a problem occurs with a computer system, finding the cable in question is not a simple task. In addition, since electromagnetic waves and electric devices are disposed on a desk which is most in contact with the human body, there is a high risk of causing safety problems. As such, personal computer systems installed in desks in offices or homes have significant limitations and problems in terms of space utilization and use.

The present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, the purpose is to increase the space utilization of the desk, the appearance is good, easy to connect and disconnect peripheral devices to the computer body and to minimize safety problems It is to provide a desk equipped with a computer.

According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, a desk equipped with a computer includes a main board, a drawer in which auxiliary storage devices and a power supply device are installed; An input / output port panel unit electrically connected to the main board, the input / output port panel unit having various ports for connection with computer peripherals, a power outlet unit for supplying power to the computer peripherals, and the main board and auxiliary storage devices It includes a top plate on which a power switch for turning on / off the power is installed.

In the present invention as described above further includes an input / output port panel unit and a cover covering the power outlet unit installed on the top plate, by the cover can block the inflow of foreign matter to the input / output port panel unit, the power outlet. have.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to components that perform the same function.

2 is an exploded perspective view showing a desk mounted with a computer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a desk 10 on which a computer is mounted is composed of a frame 12, a top plate 14, and a drawer 16 forming a skeleton of the desk. The drawer 16 is provided with a main board 22, auxiliary storage devices 24 and 26, and a power supply 28, which are generally installed in a main body of a personal computer. In addition, the upper panel is provided with an input / output port panel unit 30 and a power outlet unit 40. Meanwhile, peripheral devices (eg, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, etc.) of the computer placed on the top plate 14 of the desk receive power from the power outlet 40. That is, the peripherals of the computer and the power of the computer system (mainboard, auxiliary memory, etc.) are supplied through a separate power cable.

3 is a perspective view showing the desk drawer shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 3, a main board 22 is installed at the bottom of the storage space of the drawer 16. The motherboard 22 may be basically equipped with video, LAN, modem, and audio functions. This is a way to eliminate expansion slots and expansion boards that take up a lot of space. Meanwhile, auxiliary memory devices such as a CD-ROM driver 24 and a floppy disk device 26 are installed in the drawer. At this time, the front part of the CD-ROM driver 24 and the floppy disk device 26 is exposed to the front panel of the drawer 16. And inside the drawer is a power supply 28 is installed. A power cable is connected to the power supply 28, and supplies power to the main board 22 and the auxiliary storage devices 24 and 26. On the other hand, the drawer 16 is provided with a locking device 18 as in the general drawer. Thus, the components installed in the drawer have the advantage that can be protected from the risk of theft.

Referring back to FIG. 2, the upper plates 14 of the desk are provided with accommodating parts 14a and 14b in which the input / output port panel part 30 and the power outlet part 40 are installed. Referring to FIG. 4, the input / output port panel unit 30 includes various ports 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, and 32e such as SIO, print, video, keyboard, and mouse for connecting to peripheral devices. Is installed. In addition, operation LEDs 34, a telephone jack 36, and a power switch 50 for displaying the operation status of the computer are provided.

Referring to FIG. 5, a cover 70 is installed in the housing 14a in which the input / output port panel unit 30 is installed. The cover 70 is for preventing foreign matter from flowing into the input / output port panel unit 30. That is, the input / output port panel unit 30 may be covered with the cover 70 when not in use. The cover 70 is opened and closed in a slide manner as shown in FIG. For example, the cover is hinged to the top plate of the desk may be opened and closed by rotation. On the other hand, a cover may also be installed in the receiving portion 14b in which the power outlet 40 is installed.

On the other hand, if the desk is designed in cooperation with the furniture company, it will be able to reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the manufacturing process. In other words, it can contribute to the development through cooperation between furniture makers and computer manufacturers.
