Description

Portable computer

The present invention relates to a portable computer, and more particularly to a portable computer that can move a display screen toward a user and provide a support effect thereof.

Computers have become one of the modern life tools, and with the booming touch technology, most handheld computers or electronic communication products have used touch panels instead of traditional mouse or physical keyboard input. It is widely used in tablet PCs, smart phones, PDAs, etc., and with a new generation of operating systems that support touch applications to provide users with a more intuitive and convenient operating experience.

However, for the notebook computer, since it is equipped with an input device such as a QWERTY keyboard and a Touch Pad touch version, the operating system previously installed on the notebook computer does not support the touch input function or the operation interface design. It is not designed for touch gestures, so traditionally pure notebooks have less touch and design. However, on the one hand, operating system manufacturers have designed operating systems that support touch operations for notebook computers. On the other hand, consumers are increasingly demanding touch operations such as tablet or smart phones, so they are taking notes. The need to provide touch-operated functions on the computer or even the need to transform into a tablet has arisen. However, since the display screen of the notebook computer has a certain weight, after the display screen is displayed at a viewing angle with respect to the computer base, when the user directly applies the touch operation to the display screen, the force is applied. The torque of the point relative to the pivot is long, even if the pivot between the display screen and the host has a certain damping torque for the display screen to be fixed to any angle, the user can use the finger or the stylus When the screen is touched, the front and back shaking of the display screen may still be unstable, which may affect the user's operational comfort and cause visual discomfort. In severe cases, when the user exerts too much force, it is more likely that the display screen will be tilted backwards without back support, which will affect the user's operating experience and even damage the notebook computer body.

Therefore, the prior art has developed a practice of supporting and pivotally connecting the display screens in a support arm manner.

For example, the patent of Taiwan Patent No. I316666 (U.S. Patent No. 7,184,263 B1), the portable computer system uses a sheet-shaped support member to prop up the display screen, and displays the bottom of the screen relative to the guide groove corresponding to both sides of the keyboard. The computer body slides to achieve the effect of displaying the screen upright. However, this design is only suitable for a tablet with a display screen facing up. In a typical notebook computer, the display screen is oriented toward the keyboard when not in use, and this design cannot be applied. Moreover, the appeal of the patent is a tablet computer, that is, the normal state should be that the display screen is lying flat upwards, and the slide is tilted when necessary, so that the display screen is exposed in any state. It is not possible to obtain proper cover protection.

Another example is the patent of Taiwan Patent Publication No. 566583. The electronic screen of the notebook computer can be designed by the multiple link mechanisms on both sides, so that the electronic screen can be flipped relative to the base to change the display direction of the screen. The function. However, such a design needs to cooperate with a large number of complex linkage mechanism components including pivoting, interlocking and sliding to achieve the flipping effect, which is disadvantageous for the assembly and operation of the notebook computer. And because the mechanism is too complicated and has two exposed supporting mechanisms and linkage mechanisms, it is not only visually unsightly, but also has a large resistance during sliding sliding process, and even the user may accidentally finger during the sliding process. There will be a pinch. Furthermore, since not only the two sides of the main unit need to reserve extra space for the groove and the pivoting mechanism of the special structural shape, and the two side frames of the electronic screen must additionally reserve space for providing the slotting and pivoting mechanism. The support member can be mounted therein for sliding and rotating, so that the overall thickness and thickness of the electronic screen cannot be reduced.

Therefore, how to design the structure of the portable computer to provide stable screen support and slip effect is a subject worthy of study.

Each sliding component comprises a slider and a sliding rail, and the sliding rail is disposed at least in the second area of the base, and the sliding rod is coupled to the connecting end of the display module and can slide along the sliding rail. The slider includes at least one sliding auxiliary structure for reducing the frictional resistance when the sliding portion slides.

According to this, when the display module is opened relative to the base, the display module will be rotated relative to the base by the at least one support member until the proper opening angle, the display module will be further The first fixed end rotates the fulcrum relative to the at least one support member, and at the same time drives the connection end of the display module to slide forward to the appropriate position in the second region along the slider, so that at least one support member supports The display module is tilted at an appropriate operating angle.
