Description

Laptop

The present invention relates to a notebook computer, particularly a notebook computer with an electromagnetic energy gap structure.

With the development of technology, notebook computers are often used in various occasions due to their smooth operating experience and convenient portability. Moreover, in the Internet generation, being able to connect to the Internet has been a basic function of various types of notebook computers.

However, notebook computers are becoming more and more light, thin and short. It is necessary to install antennas in a limited space, and the signals emitted by the antennas cannot be interfered by surrounding parts. This is an urgent problem in this field. .

The present invention is to provide a notebook computer, whereby an antenna is arranged in a limited space, and the antenna is not easy to be shielded and can operate normally.

The notebook computer disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention includes a host, a display, a connector, an antenna, and an electromagnetic energy gap structure. The host has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The display has a third side and a fourth side opposite to each other. The connecting member has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is pivotally disposed on the second side of the host, and the second end is pivotally disposed on the third side of the display. The antenna is arranged on the fourth side of the display and the electromagnetic energy gap structure is arranged on the first side of the host, or the antenna is arranged on the first side of the host and the electromagnetic energy gap structure is arranged on the fourth side of the display.

According to the notebook computer disclosed in the above embodiment, when the display pivots 360 degrees with respect to the host, the antenna will not be covered by the metal shell on the first surface due to the electromagnetic energy gap structure facing the front. The radiating field of the antenna itself is shielded, so that while the antenna performs its normal function, it also maintains the beautiful appearance of the metal shell.

The above description of the content of the present invention and the description of the following embodiments are used to demonstrate and explain the principle of the present invention, and to provide a further explanation of the scope of the patent application of the present invention.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. First, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3. FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram illustrating a display 200 of a notebook computer 10 that is pivotally opened relative to a host 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the notebook computer 10 of FIG. 1 from another viewing angle. FIG. 3 is a perspective schematic diagram of the display 200 of the notebook computer 10 of FIG. 1 pivoting 360 degrees relative to the host 100.

The notebook computer 10 of this embodiment includes a host 100, a display 200, a connector 300, an antenna 400, and an electromagnetic energy gap structure 500.

The host 100 has a first side 101 and a second side 102 opposite to each other. The display 200 has a third side 201 and a fourth side 202 opposite to each other. The connecting member 300 has a first end 301 and a second end 302 opposite to each other. The first end 301 is pivotally disposed on the second side 102 of the host 100. The second end 302 is pivotally disposed on the third side 201 of the display 200. The host 100 can pivot 180 degrees relative to the connecting member 300, and the display 200 can pivot 180 degrees relative to the connecting member 300. In other words, the display 200 of the notebook computer 10 can pivot 360 degrees relative to the host 100, as shown in FIG. 3.

The antenna 400 is, for example, a 5G antenna and is arranged on the fourth side 202 of the display 200. The electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 is disposed on the first side 101 of the host 100, but it is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the placement positions of the antenna and the electromagnetic energy gap structure can also be reversed; that is, the antenna is placed on the first side of the host, and the electromagnetic energy gap structure is placed on the fourth side of the display.

Specifically, in this embodiment and some embodiments of the invention, the host 100 may further have an operating surface 110 and a first surface 120. The operation surface 110 and the first surface 120 are opposite to each other and located between the first side 101 and the second side 102. The operating surface 110 is, for example, the surface of the host 100 provided with a keyboard. The first surface 120 is, for example, a surface that faces the platform when the host 100 is placed on the platform. The casing of the host 100 on the first surface 120 is made of, for example, a metal material, so that the notebook computer 10 can have a beautiful appearance. The display 200 may further have a display surface 210 and a second surface 220. The display surface 210 and the second surface 220 are opposite to each other and located between the third side 201 and the fourth side 202. The display surface 210 is, for example, the surface of the display 200 provided with a screen. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the metal shell on the first surface 120. In some embodiments, the shells on other surfaces can also be made of metal materials, so that the entire notebook computer has a beautiful appearance.

However, when the display 200 pivots 360 degrees with respect to the host 100, the metal shell on the first surface 120 will face the antenna 400, so that the radiation field of the antenna 400 itself is shielded and cannot function normally. Therefore, the positional relationship between the antenna 400 and the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 will be described in detail below, so that the antenna 400 can perform normal functions on the premise that the notebook computer 10 retains the beautiful appearance of the metal material.

The antenna 400 is disposed in the display 200, and the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 is disposed in the host 100. The shortest distance from the geometric center of the installation area of the antenna 400 on the second surface 220 to the second end 302 of the connection member 300 is equal to the geometric center of the installation area of the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 on the first surface 120 to the second end of the connection member 300 The shortest distance at one end 301. That is, when the display 200 pivots 360 degrees relative to the host 100, the first surface 120 faces the second surface 220, and the projection area of the antenna 400 on the second surface 220 overlaps the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 on the second surface. The projected area on 220. Therefore, even when the notebook computer 10 is used in a state where the display 200 is pivoted 360 degrees with respect to the host 100, the antenna 400 will not be blocked by the first surface 120 due to the effect of the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 facing forward. The metal shell of Ø shields the radiation field of the antenna 400 itself, so that the antenna 400 can perform normal functions while maintaining the beautiful appearance of the metal shell.

The disposition area of the antenna 400 on the second surface 220 is smaller than the disposition area of the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 on the first surface 120. Therefore, when the display 200 pivots 360 degrees relative to the host 100, it can be ensured that the signals emitted by the antenna 400 can be affected by the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500.

The host 100 may further have a plurality of holes 130 on the first side 101 on the same plane as the first surface 120. The hole 130 extends from the first side 101 to the second side 102 of the host 100, and the hole 130 overlaps the projected area of the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500 on the first surface 120. The provision of the hole 130 at the first surface 120 can strengthen the suppression of the excitation of the metal surface wave, so as to further highlight the effect of the electromagnetic energy gap structure 500.

Please also refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic side view of the notebook computer 10 in FIG. 1. The first surface 120 of the host 100 is closer to the operating surface 110 on the first side 101 than on the second side 102. That is to say, the metal shell of the host 100 on the first surface 120 and the first side 101 has an arc-shaped design. The hole 130 is located in an arc-shaped metal shell. With this design, the hole 130 can be used as the air inlet/outlet of the internal heat dissipation device (not shown) of the host 100 or the sound outlet of the built-in speaker (not shown), instead of being used in the notebook computer 10 When the first surface 120 is placed toward the platform, the normal operation of the air inlet, air outlet, or sound outlet is affected by the platform.

Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a perspective view illustrating a display 200 of a notebook computer 10' pivotally opened relative to the host 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The following only describes the differences between another embodiment of the present invention and some of the foregoing embodiments, and the remaining similarities will be omitted. In this embodiment and some embodiments of the present invention, the notebook computer 10' may further include at least one elastic member 600. The number of the elastic member 600 is, for example, two, one of which is disposed on the first surface 120 of the host 100 close to the first side 101, and the other is disposed on the first surface 120 close to the second side 102. When the notebook computer 10' is placed with the first surface 120 facing the platform, the elastic member 600 can reduce the impact force from the platform. Or when the display 200 is pivoted 360 degrees with respect to the host 100, the elastic member 600 can prevent the first surface 120 from directly contacting the second surface 220, and the appearance of the notebook computer 10' is not prone to rubbing marks.

According to the notebook computer of the above embodiment, when the display is pivoted 360 degrees relative to the host, the antenna will not be shielded by the metal shell on the first surface due to the electromagnetic energy gap structure that it faces. The radiation field of the antenna itself can maintain the beautiful appearance of the metal shell while the antenna performs its normal function.

Although the present invention is disclosed in the foregoing embodiments as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with similar art can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention The scope of patent protection for inventions shall be determined by the scope of patent applications attached to this specification.
