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, when the display screen is displayed at an angle relative to the computer base for a touch operation, when the user directly displays the firefly When the screen is applied by the touch operation, since the moment of the applied point relative to the pivot is long, even if the pivot between the display screen and the main body has a certain damping torque for the display screen to open to any angle, Fixed positioning, but when the user touches the screen with a finger or a stylus, it may still cause instability of the front and back of the display screen, which affects the user's operational comfort and 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 achieve Change the display orientation of the screen. 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.

As shown in FIG. 4(b), the stop portion 1214b of the roller slider 121b in the slide assembly 12b can be replaced with another set of roller structures, so that the roller During the sliding process of the sliding member 121b, the roller structure of the stopping portion 1214b not only provides the effect of maintaining the spacing, but also the roller structure simultaneously contacts the surface 161 of the base 10 to roll (ie, the upper roller structure is rolled on the surface). The upper roller set 161 is rolled over the bottom surface of the slide rail 122b to make the roller slide 121b slip more smoothly, and the friction generated by the stop portion 1214b and the surface 161 of the base 10 is reduced. In addition, in this example, the diameter and the wheel width of the upper roller group and the lower roller group do not necessarily need to be the same, and the relative proportion and size can be adjusted according to actual needs and experimental results.

Please refer to Figure 5 (a), (b), (c) together. Figure 5 (a) is a schematic view showing a fourth embodiment of the sliding assembly 12c of the portable computer 1 of the present invention; and Figure 5 (b) is a schematic view showing a fifth embodiment of the sliding assembly 12d of the portable computer 1 of the present invention; Figure 5 (c) is a schematic view showing a sixth embodiment of the roller slider 121e of the portable computer 1 of the present invention.

The fourth embodiment is a variation of the foregoing first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5(a), in the embodiment, the roller portion 1212c of the roller slider 121c in the sliding assembly 12c adopts a single wheel structure. In order to reduce the number of rollers and to design the structural member of the fixed roller to provide stability when the roller slider 121c slides, the design of the single wheel structure is not limited to this embodiment. The rollers of the rollers of the four roller portion embodiments are substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the rail extends, but substantially parallel to the surface 161 of the base 10. The fifth embodiment is also a variation of the foregoing first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5(b), in the embodiment, the sliding assembly 12d can be set up for different spaces, for example, the thickness of the base is thin and cannot be set upright. In the state of the roller, the roller portion 1212d of the roller slider 121d adopts a non-coaxial double-wheel structure, and the structural member constitutes a biaxial axis which is substantially parallel and perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding rail 122d and also perpendicular to the surface 161 of the base 10. Each of the rollers is pivotally disposed substantially horizontally, so that the rollers can respectively contact the two side walls of the slide rail 122d to roll, and the effect described in the foregoing first embodiment can also be achieved, but the design of the non-coaxial double-wheel structure is not This embodiment is limited.

The sixth embodiment is also a variation of the foregoing first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5(c), in the embodiment, the roller portion 1212e of the roller slider 121e adopts a multi-wheel structure, for example, the foregoing One embodiment single axis The form of the double roller is based on the two sets of single-axis double-roller structures parallel to the front and rear to form a similar trolley, that is, the parallel double rollers are perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding rail 122e but parallel to the surface 161 of the base 10, and The slide rails 122e are arranged in parallel in the direction of the extension. The roller portion 1212e is more stable during the sliding process by the multi-wheel structure to eliminate the possibility that the roller slider 121e is tilted forward or backward as in the foregoing first embodiment, and the multi-wheel structure also makes the slip smoother. However, the design of its multi-wheel structure is not limited to this embodiment.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can also easily replace and combine the upper and lower structures of the different roller portions 1212 in the foregoing embodiments, which should still be the same or the equivalent of the patent scope of the patent. Effective structure.

Please refer to Figure 6 (a), (b), (c). 6(a) is a schematic view showing the first embodiment of the portable computer 1 of the present invention in a closed state; and FIG. 6(b) is a first embodiment of the portable computer 1 of the present invention being changed from a closed state to an open state. FIG. 6(c) is a schematic diagram showing the first embodiment of the portable computer 1 of the present invention in an open state.

As shown in FIG. 6(a), when the portable computer 1 of the present invention is in a closed state, the display module 20 is superposed on the base 10, and is pivotally connected to the roller slider 121 by the connecting end 21. The display surface 22 of the display module 20 is directed toward the base 10; the support member 30 is also superposed on the display module 20, and is pivotally connected to the rear end 14 of the base and the display module by the first fixed end 31 and the second fixed end 32, respectively. 20. In this embodiment, the portable computer 1 in the closed state has the connecting end 21 of the display module 20 and the second fixed end 32 of the support member 30 on different substantially parallel axes, so that the supporting member 30 long The degree is greater than the length of the connecting end 21 of the display module 20 to the first fixed end 31 of the support member 30. However, according to the different requirements of the structural design, the portable computer 1 in the closed state can also adopt the design that the connecting end 21 of the display module 20 and the second fixed end 32 of the supporting member 30 are kept on the same axis, so that the supporting member The length of the 30 is equal to the length of the connecting end 21 of the display module 20 to the first fixed end 31 of the support member 30, and the invention is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 6(b), when the user applies force to the free end 24 of the display module 20 to the other end and wants to open the display module to leave the closed state, the display mode is initially displayed. The group 20 rotates relative to the base 10 with the second fixed end 32 as a fulcrum of the support member 30; after the rotation thereof is rotated to a certain angle, the length of the support member 30 is not less than the connection end 21 of the display module 20. The length of the first fixed end 31 of the support member 30 is designed such that the display module 20 starts to rotate with respect to the support member 30 with the first fixed end 31 of the support member 30 as a fulcrum; and the display module 20 is connected at the same time. The fulcrum 21 is rotated relative to the roller slider 121, and the connecting end 21 of the display module 20 is driven to slide forwardly toward the first zone 15 by the roller slider 121.

As shown in FIG. 6(c), when the display module 20 is continuously rotated with the first fixed end 31 of the support member 30 as a fulcrum, the roller slider 121 drives the connecting end 21 of the display module 20 toward the first region 15 The front slides to the appropriate position (e.g., the end of the sliding guide structure 122), that is, the open state of the portable computer 1 of the present invention. At this time, the display module 20 is inclined at an appropriate angle with respect to the base 10, and the display surface 22 of the display module 20 faces the user, and the supporting effect between the display module 20 and the base 10 is provided by the support member 30.

On the other hand, when the user wants to return the portable computer 1 of the present invention from the open state to the closed state, the user only needs to pull the free end 24 of the display module 20 forward by the reverse force, so that the display module 20 The first fixed end 31 of the support member 30 rotates as a fulcrum, and the connecting end 21 is driven by the roller slider 121 to slide toward the rear end 14 of the base until it slides to the other end of the slide rail 122. 20 is further rotated to the position where the support member 30 is rotated to the closed state with the second fixed end 32 as a fulcrum.

Therefore, the portable computer 1 of the present invention does not require complex component combination linkage, and only needs to use a set of sliding components 12 located at the center to achieve better performance than the prior art, thereby reducing the use of component numbers and making The overall device is lighter and thinner. The roller portion 1212 of the sliding assembly 12 is hidden under the slit 162 of the second region 16 and the display module 20 is closely attached to the surface 161 of the second region 16, so that the entire inorganic component is exposed, which not only keeps the appearance simple. Beautiful, and there is no clip to the user's finger.

In particular, since the foregoing embodiments of the present invention adopt the central design of the single group sliding component 12, the user does not need to occupy the frame space on both sides of the base 10 and the display module screen 20, and the user is turning over the setting of the wheel. Or sliding the display module 20 only needs to use one hand to hold the central end of the free end 24 of the display module. Since its position is equivalent to the position of the lower sliding component 12, the display module 20 can be smoothly pushed. It is more convenient to provide the stability of the display module 20 when it is slipped, so as to facilitate the user's operation. Even if the user flips open the display module 20, the display module 20 automatically slides forward to the position after being turned to a certain angle, and the support member is stably supported at the back, so the user When the finger touches the display module 20, the screen will stabilize without shaking the wheel.

In the foregoing embodiments, the central purpose of the single support member 30 is matched with the structural design of the single slide assembly 12, which is also located at a relatively central position, to achieve the above-mentioned functional purpose, but according to different use requirements, efficiency trade-offs and mechanism design. The present invention is not limited to the design of the foregoing embodiment, and any change in the number of components, position change, length or width, etc., should still belong to the same inventive concept of the present case and is the case. Protected by the scope of the patent claim. The sliding assembly used in the following embodiments of the portable computer is described in the first embodiment of the sliding assembly 12, but it may be replaced with the other sliding assembly 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d or the like.
