TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of computer display, in particular to a double-screen portable computer. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of computer display technology, the application demand of double-screen computer is increasing. In some scientific research fields or joint design working environment, the operator often encounters application scenarios such as design comparison reference and viewing comparison simulation data in simulation process. At this time, the double-screen computer can provide greater convenience for the operator. In some large-scale comprehensive exercise training scenarios, the commander needs to view the exercise content and real-time exercise data at the same time in the vehicle-mounted or ground temporary command control room. The double-screen portable computer can also be used to achieve this purpose.

[0003] At present, there are some double-screen computer designs on the market, which are usually designed to be unfolded horizontally or vertically. However, most of the current double-screen computer designs need to design a back support behind the main screen and the auxiliary screen to provide fixation and horizontal sliding of the main screen and the auxiliary screen. This makes the double-screen design thicker and heavier, which is not conducive to its portability. In addition, no matter how the main screen and the auxiliary screen are unfolded, the two screens are in the same plane and can only be viewed by the user in front of the computer, which cannot meet the need of viewing the screen content on both sides of the computer at the same time in some use environments. SUMMARY

[0009] The double-screen portable computer, the connection of the secondary screen and the main screen uses at least two double-shaft 360° synchronous damping pivots, and due to the application of the special damping pivots, the secondary screen only has a connection and fixing relationship with the main screen, and the secondary screen is hung on the right side of the main screen after being unfolded. At the same time, due to the application of the double-shaft 360° synchronous damping pivots, the secondary screen can not only be unfolded horizontally by 180°, so that the secondary screen and the main screen are unfolded in the same plane and are centered by following the horizontal sliding of the main screen, but also can be further turned back by 360°, so that the secondary screen is completely turned back to the back of the main screen, and the front side of the computer presents a single-screen computer state. At this time, the main screen and the secondary screen are in front and back, so that the users on both sides of the computer can simultaneously view the display content, and the application requirements in some special use scenarios are met.

[0010] When the secondary screen is opened and turned back by 360° to the back of the main screen, the secondary screen display content switching function is automatically triggered, the display content of the secondary screen is automatically switched to the remote terminal interface by means of the decoding and switching function module integrated in the base module, and the remote terminal can be controlled by the connected keyboard and mouse.

[0042] The sliding limiting mechanism 5 comprises a sliding part and a limiting part,

[0043] The sliding part: the main screen module 2 comprises a main screen, a T-shaped sliding block 7 and a guide, the guide comprises a guide front plate 6 and a guide rear plate 8, the guide front plate 6 and the guide rear plate 8 are spliced and fixed to form a guide sliding groove matched with the T-shaped sliding block 7; the guide is connected with the base module 1 through the double-shaft synchronous damping rotating shaft 4, and the main screen is slidingly connected with the guide through the T-shaped sliding block 7. The T-shaped sliding block 7 can slide horizontally in the guide sliding groove formed by the guide front plate 6 and the guide rear plate 8.

[0054] Through the decoding and switching function, the secondary screen displays the remote terminal interface and switches the keyboard and mouse control.

[0055] The secondary screen reserves a quick key function to turn off the screen, when there is no operator on the back of the computer, the secondary screen can be directly turned off through the quick key.

[0056] The dual-screen portable computer, the connection between the secondary screen and the primary screen uses at least two double-shaft 360° synchronous damping shafts. Due to the application of this special damping shaft, the secondary screen is only connected and fixed to the primary screen, and the secondary screen is hung on the right side of the primary screen after being unfolded. At the same time, thanks to the application of the double-shaft 360° synchronous damping shaft, the secondary screen can not only be unfolded horizontally by 180°, so that the secondary screen and the primary screen are unfolded in the same plane and follow the primary screen to slide horizontally to the center, but also can be further flipped back by 360°, so that the secondary screen is completely flipped to the back of the primary screen, and the computer is observed as a single-screen computer state from the front side. At this time, the primary screen and the secondary screen are in front and back, so that the users on both sides of the computer can view the display content at the same time, which meets the application requirements in some special use scenarios.
