DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Example

[0025] See attached Figure 1-2As shown, a decorative shell for a notebook computer of the present invention comprises a host housing 1, on which a mounting groove 11 for mounting a circuit board, a CPU, a graphics card and a memory stick is provided. An extension part 2 having a prismatic structure is symmetrically provided at one end of the host housing 1 close to the screen housing, and a rotating shaft 3 for connecting the screen housing is rotatably provided between the extension parts 2. The extension part 2 comprises an integrally formed hollow decorative part 21 and a rotating shaft connecting part 22, wherein the hollow decorative part 21 is located on a side of the rotating shaft connecting part 2 away from the rotating shaft 3. A decorative groove 211 for mounting a light-emitting element 4 is provided in the hollow decorative part 21, and the decorative groove 211 is connected to the mounting groove 11 through a through groove 12 located on the host housing 1. A wiring terminal 5 for connecting the light-emitting element 4 to the circuit board is provided in the through groove 12.

[0026] A hollow decorative portion 21 is provided on the extension portion 2 to embed the light-emitting element 4 therein, which not only realizes the exterior decoration function but also saves installation space and ensures the lightness and thinness of the laptop computer. The circuit board and the light-emitting element 4 are then connected via the wiring terminals 5 located in the through groove 12. When the circuit board is working (the laptop computer is turned on), the light-emitting element 4 can be powered to realize the light-emitting function, thereby enhancing its cool and technological sense to meet the personalized needs of consumers.

[0027] See attached Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the light-emitting element 4 includes a laminated glass 41, a metal electrode, an oscillation circuit board 42, and a power converter 43; the laminated glass 41 is filled with an inert gas, and the metal electrodes are connected to both ends. The metal electrode is connected to the oscillation circuit board 42 and the power converter 43 in sequence through a wire. The power converter 43 is connected to the circuit board through the wiring terminal 5, and the oscillation circuit board 42 is used to cooperate with the power converter 43 to generate a high-frequency and high-voltage electric field. Through the oscillation circuit board 42 and the power converter 43, low-voltage and low-frequency direct current is converted into high-voltage and high-frequency alternating current and applied to the metal electrode. The inert gas in the laminated glass 41 is subjected to the electric force of the high-frequency electric field and presents a luminous phenomenon in the form of lightning. The inert gas is a mixed gas of neon, helium, and argon. The colorful luminous phenomenon is achieved by adding a variety of gases.

[0028] When the light-emitting element 4 is powered on, the power converter 43 and the oscillating circuit board 42 cooperate to form a high-frequency and high-voltage alternating electric field between the two metal electrodes. Under the action of the electric field of the two electrodes, the electrons and positive ions of the inert gas in the laminated glass 41 move to the anode and cathode respectively, and accumulate near the two poles to form a space charge region. Since the drift speed of positive ions is much smaller than that of electrons, the charge density of the positive ion space charge region is much larger than that of the electron space charge region, so that the voltage between the two poles is almost entirely concentrated in a narrow region near the cathode; near the cathode, the electrons generated by secondary electron emission have not yet obtained enough energy to ionize or excite the inert gas molecules within a short distance, so the area next to the cathode does not emit light, while in the cathode glow area, the electrons have obtained enough energy to collide with the inert gas molecules, causing them to ionize or excite to emit light, so there are special bright and dark areas in the laminated glass, which has shown a luminous phenomenon with a lightning effect.

[0029] The circuit board is provided with a power module for supplying power to the light emitting element 4, and the power module is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 5. A circuit switch 44 is also provided between the wiring terminal 5 and the power module, and a manual button 13 for controlling the opening and closing of the circuit switch 44 is provided on the back of the host housing 1. The light emitting element 4 is supplied with power by the power module, and the light emitting element 4 can be automatically opened and closed by setting the manual button 13 and the circuit switch 44.

[0030] See attached Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of decorative strips 212 are arranged in parallel on the side wall of the hollow decorative part 21, and a hollow area connected to the decorative groove 211 is defined between two adjacent decorative strips 212. The arrangement of a plurality of decorative strips 212 can not only improve the decorative effect of the hollow decorative part 21, but also fix the light-emitting element 4; the light of the light-emitting element 4 can be transmitted through the hollow area to achieve a cool effect. In addition, the use of the decorative strips 212 in conjunction with the hollow area can not only achieve the light effect of the hollow decorative part 21 when the light-emitting element 4 emits light, but also avoid the influence of the hollow decorative part 21 on the user's viewing of the screen caused by the excessive light-emitting area; when the light-emitting element 4 does not emit light, the cooperation of the decorative strips 212 and the hollow area can also form a certain exterior effect.

[0031] See attached Figure 3-4As shown, a first limiting protrusion 2111 for limiting the position of the light emitting element 4 is provided in the decorative groove 211. A connecting through groove communicating with the decorative groove 211 is provided on the rotating shaft connecting portion 22, and a connecting member 23 is embedded in the connecting through groove. A second limiting protrusion 231 for limiting the position of the light emitting element 4 is provided at one end of the connecting member 23, and a rotating shaft groove 232 for installing the rotating shaft 3 is provided at the other end. The first limiting protrusion 2111 and the second limiting protrusion 231 are used to limit the position of the light emitting element 4, and the rotating shaft groove 232 is used to install the rotating shaft 3. The light emitting element 4 is limited by the cooperation of the first limiting protrusion 2111 and the second limiting protrusion 231, and the rotating shaft 3 is assembled by the rotating shaft groove 232.

[0032] The connecting groove is also interference-fitted with a sealing ring 24 sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting member 23. The connecting member 23 can be stably assembled in the connecting groove by the provision of the sealing ring 24.

[0033] See attached Figure 5 As shown, the back of the host housing 1 is also provided with a plurality of rubber pad grooves 14 for assembling anti-slip rubber pads.
