Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of computer host, and particularly relates to a portable flip-cover microcomputer host. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of science and technology, mini PC has released strong performance, which can meet the needs of entertainment, office and games. In addition, its small size takes up little space, which is very suitable for home space where every inch of land is valuable. Its good portability also makes it more and more popular. Frequent use increases the probability of hardware failure. In addition, users' DIY needs for expansion and replacement of key components such as DDR and SSD have put forward higher requirements for the convenience and maintainability of disassembling the shell and replacing parts. At present, mini PC generally adopts the form of a box. The upper and lower shells are disassembled to support and fix PCBA, heat dissipation module and other components, and the internal brackets and other structural parts are disassembled to fix the system fan to solve the heat dissipation of DDR and SSD on the PCB board. After the upper and lower shells are assembled, screws are used to penetrate the upper and lower shells from the bottom of the lower shell to fix them; for the sake of simplicity in appearance, most of them use decorative parts such as silicone feet to cover the screw holes.

[0003] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the existing structure are as follows:

[0004] (1) Difficulty in disassembly and replacement: Since screws are used to fix the bottom, users need to turn over the machine to remove decorative parts such as foot pads, and need to use tools to loosen screws and remove the upper and lower shells. This not only reduces user efficiency, but also increases the difficulty of operation for users, spending more time and energy.

[0005] (2) Complex assembly and high cost: The machine screws the shell components from the bottom of the lower shell, and needs to be turned over to screw the screws from the bottom surface. The parts need to be installed correctly in the correct position, otherwise it will cause appearance damage. This increases the complexity and difficulty of assembly, requires more time and effort to complete, and increases the factory's assembly man-hours.

[0006] (3) Low efficiency and high maintenance loss: The machine needs to be disassembled starting from the bottom pads, and special tools are required to loosen the screws, which will reduce the user's efficiency; especially when the equipment needs to be replaced frequently, it will cause loss of materials such as decorative parts and pads.

[0007] (4) Insufficient ventilation affects performance release: After the upper and lower shells are fixed, some models will open a certain heat dissipation structure on the upper shell. Due to structural strength limitations, only a small amount can be done and the upper space is limited. Utility Model Content

[0012] Furthermore, a base is installed at the bottom of the bottom shell, and a first functional interface is provided on one side of the bottom shell.

[0013] Furthermore, a second functional opening is provided on the other side of the bottom shell.

[0014] Furthermore, a heat dissipation hole is provided at the bottom of the bottom shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper shell shaft is connected to the track groove, the upper shell shaft is installed on the upper shell, and the track groove is installed on the middle frame.

[0016] The utility model also provides an electronic device housing assembly based on the above-mentioned microcomputer host, comprising:

[0017] An upper shell (1) is provided with an upper shell shaft (9);

[0018] The middle frame (3) is provided with a track groove (10), a track groove initial assembly position (14) and a track groove flip axis position (15), and the track groove (10) is installed on the middle frame (3);

[0019] A spring (2) is mounted on the middle frame (3);

[0020] An upper shell card and structure (12) is mounted on the upper shell (1);

[0021] A middle frame buckle structure (13), mounted on the middle frame (3);

[0022] Furthermore, the upper shell axis (9) can move along the track groove (10) from the track groove initial assembly position (14) to the track groove flip axis position (15) to realize the flipping action of the upper shell (1), and the upper shell (1) is locked by the upper shell clip structure (12) cooperating with the middle frame clip structure (13).

[0023] Furthermore, the two ends of the track groove (10) are respectively provided with a track groove initial assembly position (14) and a track groove flip axis position (15), and the two positions are eccentrically arranged to adapt to the upper shell shaft (9) and avoid interference with the base body when flipping.

[0024] Furthermore, the spring (2) is configured to be in a compressed state when the upper shell (1) is closed, and to provide a rebound force when the upper shell (1) is opened, thereby assisting the upper shell shaft (9) to move along the track groove (10).

[0025] Furthermore, the middle frame (3) and the bottom shell (4) are assembled into a base body by means of buckles or screws, wherein a track groove (10) is provided on one side of the middle frame (3), and a middle frame buckle structure (13) is provided on the other side, which is a detachable buckle structure to facilitate the installation and removal of the upper shell (1).

[0026] In combination with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the utility model are as follows:

[0027] First, the mini PC of the utility model breaks the traditional design mode and is provided with an upper shell, a middle frame, a spring, and a bottom shell. The rebound force of the spring after being compressed makes the axis of the upper shell move from the initial assembly position to the ideal flipping position along the designed trajectory, effectively solving the problem of inconsistent axis before and after flipping. The movement of the axis not only enables the upper shell to flip from 0 to 120 degrees, but also does not interfere with the movement of components such as the middle frame and the bottom shell during flipping; and the upper shell is assembled and connected with the middle frame through an axis and a buckle structure, without being fixed with screws. Compared with conventional designs, it is simple to assemble and disassemble, improves assembly efficiency, reduces costs, and also provides greater freedom for the appearance design of the ID.

[0028] The utility model of mini PC mainly solves the problem of inconsistent axis center before and after the shell is flipped through the reset ability of the elastic body. The axis center is moved by the designed trajectory, so that the upper shell can be flipped open and closed in the limited space under the ID limit. The assembly is simplified, materials are saved and costs are reduced; the ventilation of the upper space is increased, the heat dissipation performance is improved, and it is more reasonable than the conventional design. The upper shell can be opened, and decorative parts can be added inside, which increases playability.

[0029] Third, the expected benefits and commercial value after the transformation of the technical solution of the utility model are as follows: The utility model miniPC is a quick-disassembly structure that no longer uses screws like the traditional method. Screw fixation requires tools to open the shell, and then replace or install internal components, which greatly limits users. The use of this structure does not require the use of tools to complete the disassembly and opening of the upper shell, which is convenient for direct repair and expansion of internal components, saving both labor costs and tool costs, while greatly reducing maintenance costs, and improving economic benefits from parts to products.

[0030] The upper shell of the utility model has a flipping function, and the upper shell can be opened, thereby increasing the ventilation space of the DDR, SSD and the like on the board and improving the heat dissipation capacity.

[0031] The technical solution of the utility model overcomes technical prejudice: the technical solution of the utility model provides a MINIPC product with a flip structure that can adjust the axis, so that the upper shell can be flipped from 0 to 120 degrees; it overcomes the technical prejudice of the traditional flip structure using a fixed shaft or hinge. It breaks the traditional constraints, and the upper shell can be opened and closed conveniently, flipped freely, and has a novel shape. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail in combination with the embodiments below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the portable flip-cover microcomputer host provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises: an upper shell 1, a spring 2, a middle frame 3, a bottom shell 4; an upper shell decorative part 11;

[0046] The upper shell 1 is connected with the middle frame 3 through the shaft, the spring 2 is assembled on the middle frame 3, and the bottom of the middle frame 3 is provided with a bottom shell 4; the upper shell decoration 11 is attached to the inner side of the upper shell 1;

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, a bottom shell 4 is provided at the bottom of the middle frame 3 provided in the embodiment of the utility model;

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, a base 5 is installed at the bottom of the bottom shell 4 provided in the embodiment of the utility model, and a first functional interface 6 is provided at one side of the bottom shell 4;

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the other side of the bottom shell 4 provided in the embodiment of the utility model is provided with a second functional opening 7;

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the bottom shell 4 provided in the embodiment of the utility model is provided with heat dissipation holes 8;

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, the upper shell shaft 9 provided by the utility model is connected with the track groove 10, the upper shell shaft 9 is installed on the upper shell 1, and the track groove 10 is installed on the middle frame 3;

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, the utility model provides an upper shell 1, an upper shell shaft 9 is installed on the upper shell 1, and an upper shell clamp and structure 12 are installed on the upper shell 1;

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, the middle frame 3 provided by the present invention has a track groove 10 installed on the middle frame 3, and the track groove initial assembly position 14 and the track groove flip axis position 15 are installed at both ends of the track groove 10;

[0054] like Fig. 9 As shown, the middle frame 3 provided by the present invention has a middle frame buckle structure 13 installed on the middle frame 3 .

[0055] The working principle of the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0056] The middle frame 3 and the bottom shell 4 are assembled into a base by buckles and screws; a track groove 10 is provided on one side of the middle frame 3, and the two ends of the track groove 10 are respectively a groove-axis initial assembly position 14 and a groove-axis flip axis position 15 adapted to the upper shell axis 9; the groove is opened along the designed track line, and the groove-axis initial assembly position 14 and the groove-axis flip axis position 15 are eccentric, and there is a certain offset (reference Fig.11 ); the matched upper shell shaft 9 can move along the groove from the groove-shaft initial assembly position 14 to the groove-shaft flip axis position 15; the other side of the middle frame 3 is provided with a middle frame buckle structure 13, which is a detachable buckle structure; the upper shell 1 achieves a flipping effect by cooperating with the upper shell shaft 9 and the upper track groove 10 of the middle frame 3; the upper shell 1 achieves a clamping and fixing by cooperating with the middle frame buckle structure 13 of the middle frame 3 through the upper shell clamping structure 12;

[0057] The spring 2 is assembled on the middle frame 3. When the upper shell 1 is closed, the spring 2 is in a compressed state. When the user opens the card and the structure 12 to open the upper shell, the rebound force of the spring 2 provides power for the movement of the upper shell shaft 9, so that the upper shell shaft 9 can move along the track groove 10 of the middle frame 3 from the groove-shaft initial assembly position 14 to the groove-shaft flip axis position 15 (refer to Figure 6 ) to prevent the upper shell 1 from interfering with the base when it is turned over (refer to Figure 1 );

[0058] When the user buckles the upper shell 1, the upper shell shaft 9 is pressed and forced to return from the groove-shaft turning axis position 15 to the groove-shaft initial assembly position 14 along the track groove 10 of the middle frame 3 (refer to Fig.11 ), the offset distance can just help to fix; the upper shell card and structure 12 on the other side cooperates with the middle frame buckle structure 13 to fix (reference Fig. 9 );

[0059] In summary, the utility model is a structural solution for a reversible upper shell assembled without screws. This solution can not only open the upper shell very conveniently, but also overcome the problem of inconsistency between the assembly center and the reversing axis. The rebound force of the spring 2 causes the upper shell axis 9 to move from the slot-axis initial assembly position 14 to the slot-axis reversing axis position 15 along the track groove 10 according to the designed track, and the axis moves from the assembly position in the closed state to the ideal reversing position to achieve free reversal; the two ends of the track groove 10 of the middle frame 3 are provided with offsets, and when the shell is closed, the axis of the upper shell 1 is limited by the slot-axis initial assembly position 14 in the X / Y / Z directions, and the upper shell clip structure 12 at the other end and the middle frame buckle structure 13 are designed as a detachable buckle matching structure to limit the upper shell Z / Y directions, so that the buckle fixation of the product upper shell is reliable.

[0060] The present invention belongs to the field of mini PC, and is a structural solution for screwless assembly, snap-fitting, and flipping upper shell. Compared with the existing conventional design, the upper shell or lower shell structure is equipped with studs and then locked with screws. Disassembly, assembly, and replacement all require the use of tools, and the removal and locking of screws are likely to scratch the outer surface of the shell, and the screws are also likely to fall off. By comparison, it can be seen that the present invention is very practical, easy to operate, and has lower cost.

[0061] Users can open, flip and close the upper shell with simple operations without auxiliary tools. The upper shell can be easily disassembled to operate the internal components to meet DIY needs; the upper shell can be opened to increase ventilation of the upper space of the whole machine and improve heat dissipation capacity; pictures, mirrors and other decorative parts can be added inside the upper shell to increase the decorativeness and playability of the mini PC.
