Hereinafter, the above description will be described in detail by way of implementation, and a further explanation will be provided for the technical solution of the present invention.

Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a side view of a notebook computer according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a partial enlarged side view of the notebook computer of Figure 1. The notebook computer 100 includes a main body 102, a screen 104, and a cover 106a. The cover portion 106a is covered on the body portion 102, and is driven by the opening and closing rotation of the screen portion 104 to move synchronously. The bottom edge of the screen portion 104 is pivotally connected to one side of the main body portion 102 by the rotating shaft 112, so the screen portion 104 can rotate relative to the main body portion 102 in the direction D1 to be in the closed position or the open position (ie the position shown in Figure 1) . The cover portion 106 a has a first side 113 a and a second side 113 b. The first side 113 a is pivotally connected to the screen portion 104 via a rotating shaft 114, and the second side 113 b is slidably connected to the main body portion 102. Therefore, the cover portion 106a can slide along the direction D2 with the opening and closing rotation of the screen portion 104, thereby changing the relative position with the main body portion 102.

The main body 102 includes a sliding groove 108 therein, and is connected to the second side 113 b of the cover 106 a by a connecting rod 116. The length direction of the chute 108 is also the direction D2. Specifically, the connecting rod 116 has a first end 116a and a second end 116b. The first end 116a is slidably connected in the sliding groove 108, and the second end 116b is pivotally connected to the second side 113b of the cover 16a.

When the screen 104 rotates to the open position relative to the main body 102 (ie, the position shown in Figures 1 and 2), the first side 113a of the cover 106a moves upward and separates from the main body 102, thereby generating a comparison. Large air flow channel. As shown in the air flow diagram in Figure 1 (that is, in the direction of the arrow), the active heat dissipation system (such as the fan 180) in the main body 102 will draw in the air from the bottom, and from the first side 113a of the cover 106a and the main body 102 The airflow is discharged from the gap. Since the first side 113a of the cover 106a is separated from the main body 102, the flow resistance of the exhaust air flow is reduced, and the efficiency of the air flow in and out of the main body 102 is improved.

The main body 102 contains main heat-generating integrated circuit chips such as the central processing unit 150 and the graphics processor 160. Although the first side 113a of the cover part 106a is separated from the body part 102, the main heat-generating integrated circuit chip is exposed, but the outward airflow discharged from the gap by the active heat dissipation system can still suppress dust from the cover part 106a and the body part. Invasion of the 102 gap.

In addition, when the screen 104 rotates to the open position in the direction D1 relative to the main body 102, the first end 116a of the link 116 will slide in the direction D2 to the right end of the sliding groove 108 (ie, the position shown in FIG. 2). In contrast, when the screen 104 is rotated to the closed position in the direction D1 relative to the main body 102 (that is, the screen 104 is attached to the main body 102), the first end 116a of the connecting rod 116 will slide in the direction D2 to the chute At the left end of 108, the cover portion 106a is moved to the groove 103 of the body portion 102 to be contained. In this closed position, the cover portion 106a is completely close to the body portion 102, and there is no gap between each other, so that the notebook computer can be restored to a thinner state suitable for storage. When the laptop is stored, it is usually shut down, hibernated or not working, so there is no need to operate an efficient cooling system.

The main body 102 further includes a battery 170 for storing and supplying power required for the operation of the notebook computer. The cover portion 106a may include an input interface, such as a keyboard, a handwriting board, or a non-physical touch input interface.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a perspective view of a notebook computer 100a according to another embodiment of the present invention. The notebook computer 100a is different from the aforementioned notebook computer 100 in that the cover portion 106b may include an output interface (such as a display screen) or an input/output interface (such as a display screen with touch function). In addition, the bottom surface of the groove 103 also has a shortcut function key. When the cover 106b slides to expose the bottom surface of the groove 103, the shortcut function key can be pressed by the user to operate the notebook computer. The notebook computer 100a also has a traditional touchpad 107, which can be pressed by the user to operate the notebook computer. When the screen portion 104 is opened to the open position relative to the main body portion 102, the distance between the cover portion 106b and the touch pad 107 is increased, which can reduce the probability of false touches of the touch pad 107.

Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a perspective view of a notebook computer 100b according to another embodiment of the present invention. The notebook computer 100b is different from the aforementioned notebook computer 100a mainly in that, in addition to the cover portion 106c, which can include an input and output interface (such as a display screen with touch function), another area of the main body 102 can also include an input and output interface 109 and/ Or input interface, output interface, which can provide users with more options for manipulating the laptop or more diversified output options (such as dual-screen output or three-screen output).

In summary, the notebook computer of the present invention uses its cover to move synchronously with the opening and closing rotation of the screen, resulting in a change in the thickness of the body. When the screen is in the open position, the cover body part is separated from the body part to improve the heat dissipation performance. When the screen part is in the closed position, the cover body part is completely attached to the main body part, so that the notebook computer is restored to a thinner state suitable for storage. The moving position of the cover part of the notebook computer can also enable the setting of the computer's input interface, output interface and/or input and output interface, providing users with more diverse needs.
