Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of laptop computers and flexible screen technologies, and in particular to a pivotal connection structure for an ultra-thin display screen. Background Art

[0002] At present, computers are becoming more and more popular as tools for work, life, and entertainment. During use, people pay more and more attention to the experience of each detail and hope that the experience of each action during use is safe and pleasant.

[0003] In a display or a display support device, most display screens are rotatably arranged. A support component for supporting the display is usually arranged inside a pivotal connection component for hinge connection of the display screen. Under the action of this component, the display screen is supported during rotation and will not fall off.

[0004] While the pivotal connection structure of a laptop computer realizes rotatable connection, it also needs to provide connections for data and power. However, in the existing pivotal connection structure, due to the layout of data and power lines inside the pivotal axis, the pivotal connection structure is relatively thick and cannot meet the installation requirements of an ultra-thin display screen, that is, the ultra-thinness of the display screen cannot be achieved.

[0015] Or, the first contact group, the second contact group, and the third contact group are all ring-shaped or arc-shaped metal wires.

[0016] Further, the first pivot axis is arranged parallel to the first body (such as the display screen surface or the top or bottom surface of the main body of the laptop), and is used to adjust the left-right swing angle of the first body.

[0017] Further, it further includes an intermediate connecting member, and the intermediate connecting member is arranged on the second body with an adjustable pitching angle through a second pivot axis; the first body is arranged on the intermediate connecting member with an adjustable left-right swing angle through the first pivot axis.

[0020] Further, the contact group includes 2 - 20 contacts.

[0021] Further, the first contact group and the second contact group are ring-shaped metal wires and are respectively symmetrically arranged at both ends of the second pivot axis, and rotate as the intermediate connecting member and the first body pitch.

[0022] Further, a waveform gasket group is sleeved on the first pivot axis and / or the second pivot axis, and the waveform gasket group includes two waveform gaskets stacked together; during the rotation process, the two waveform gaskets rotate relative to each other, and the waveforms between the two waveform gaskets form a temporary limiting structure.

[0023] In addition, the present application also discloses a laptop computer adopting the above structure.

[0024] Adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
