[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 9The present invention provides a laptop computer 10, which includes a display assembly 200, a keyboard assembly 100 and a camera assembly 300. The display assembly 200 is used to display image information, and the keyboard assembly 100 includes a housing 110, and a storage cavity 111 with an opening 112 at one end is provided in the housing 110, and the storage cavity 111 is used to store the camera assembly 300. The camera assembly 300 has a working position and a storage position. When the camera assembly 300 is in the working position, the camera assembly 300 is connected to the display assembly 200, so that the user can make video calls or take photos when using the laptop computer 10, so as to improve the functional diversity of the laptop computer 10. When the camera assembly 300 is in the storage position, it is connected to the keyboard assembly 100 and is stored in the storage cavity 111 of the housing 110 to reduce the occupied space and protect the camera assembly 300 from damage. At the same time, when the camera assembly 300 is not in the working position, it is stored in the housing 110, which can effectively avoid the risk of losing the camera assembly 300 compared with the camera being stored separately in the related art. In addition, compared with the related art of integrating the camera into the display screen, the camera assembly 300 in the present application is detachably connected to the display assembly 200, which effectively avoids the thickness of the camera assembly 300 affecting the thickness design of the display assembly 200 and causing the thickness of the display assembly 200 to increase, while reducing the frame design size of the display assembly 200, which is conducive to increasing the effective display area of ​​the display assembly 200. In addition, the keyboard assembly 100 also includes a cover 120, which is detachably connected to the housing 110. Regardless of whether the camera assembly 300 is in use, the cover 120 can cover the opening 112 of the storage cavity 111, further improving safety and preventing dust or other foreign matter from entering the storage cavity 111 and causing damage to the components inside the laptop computer 10.

[0045] It is understood that in some embodiments, in order to ensure the safety and stability of the camera assembly 300 in the storage position, the storage cavity 111 of the housing 110 is designed to fit the shape of the camera assembly 300 closely to provide physical support. At the same time, the connection between the cover 120 and the housing 110 includes but is not limited to magnetic suction, snap-on, etc. to achieve quick disassembly and assembly, so that the user can take out or put in the camera assembly 300 at any time as needed. In addition, in order to enhance the user experience, the camera assembly 300 is provided with a flexible connection line or a rotating shaft, etc., so as to allow the user to freely adjust the angle of the camera to meet the shooting needs in different scenes.

[0046] See also Figure 5 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the cover 120 includes a covering portion 121 and a receiving portion 122, and the receiving portion 122 is provided with a mounting groove 1221. When the camera assembly 300 is in the storage position, the camera assembly 300 can be detachably mounted on the cover 120 through the mounting groove 1221. The design of the mounting groove 1221 ensures that the camera assembly 300 is stably fixed in the storage cavity 111. At the same time, the mounting groove 1221 can also provide a certain protection for the camera assembly 300, reducing the probability of friction between the camera assembly 300 and the housing 110 during the process of inserting the camera assembly 300 into the storage cavity 111. The receiving portion 122 is configured to be inserted into the storage cavity 111, which not only saves space, but also increases the portability of the camera assembly 300, and reduces the probability of the camera assembly 300 being lost. The covering portion 121 is configured to cover the opening 112, which protects the camera assembly 300 while maintaining the neatness of the appearance of the laptop computer 10, thereby improving the aesthetics of the laptop computer 10.

[0047] It is understood that in some embodiments, the size and shape of the mounting groove 1221 are adapted to the size and shape of the camera assembly 300. Shockproof material or cushions may be provided inside the mounting groove 1221 to reduce damage caused by external impact. In addition, in order to improve the convenience of installation and disassembly of the camera assembly 300, the edge of the receiving portion 122 may be designed to be slightly tapered so that the receiving portion 122 can be smoothly inserted into the storage cavity 111 while reducing wear. The covering portion 121 and the receiving portion 122 may be manufactured in an integrated manner to improve the structural strength. In other embodiments, the covering portion 121 and the receiving portion 122 may also be manufactured in a split assembly manner, thereby providing more design flexibility. In order to enhance the user experience, a sealing ring or a sealing gasket may also be provided on the surface where the covering portion 121 contacts the housing 110 to effectively prevent dust and moisture from intruding and extend the service life of the camera assembly 300.

[0048] See also Figure 5 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the receiving portion 122 is provided with an escape groove 1222 connected to the mounting groove 1221. When the camera assembly 300 is in the storage position, the design of the escape groove 1222 is conducive to facilitating the user to easily remove the camera assembly 300 from the mounting groove 1221 by hand or other tools. The usability of the camera assembly 300 is improved, and the risk of damage to the camera assembly 300 or the cover 120 due to forced removal is also reduced.

[0049] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the avoidance groove 1222 can be designed as a groove with a certain inclination angle, so that the user can easily hook the edge of the camera assembly 300 with a finger or a small tool and remove it by applying a slight force. In addition, the edge of the avoidance groove 1222 can be designed to have a smooth transition to avoid scratching the user's fingers. In terms of material selection, wear-resistant materials can be used around the avoidance groove 1222 to increase the service life. In order to further optimize the user experience, indicator signs, such as arrows or text prompts, can also be set in the avoidance groove 1222 to guide the user to correctly operate the removal process of the camera assembly 300.

[0050] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the housing 110 includes a first side 113 and a second side 114 that are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X, and the opening 112 of the storage cavity 111 can be arranged at the first side 113 or the second side 114. The opening 112 of the storage cavity 111 is designed at the first side 113 or the second side 114 of the housing 110, so that the space on the side of the laptop computer 10 can be fully utilized and the impact on the keyboard area can be reduced. When the camera assembly 300 is in the storage position, the extension direction of its length is parallel to the first direction X, which means that the size of the housing 110 occupied by the opening 112 of the storage cavity 111 is small, which is conducive to ensuring the strength reliability of the housing 110 and avoiding the risk of the housing 110 being damaged under pressure, impact, etc. In addition, the camera assembly 300 can be stored along the first direction X, which not only saves the space inside the housing 110, but also maintains the simplicity of the overall appearance of the laptop computer 10.

[0051] It is understood that in some embodiments, in order to improve the convenience of user operation, the first side 113 and the second side 114 can be selected from the two opposite sides of the laptop computer 10 that have the least impact on the user's operation. For example, the first side 113 and the second side 114 can be the left and right sides of the laptop computer 10 relative to the user, respectively. The opening 112 is set at the first side 113 or the second side 114, so that when the user needs to install or remove the camera assembly 300 from the storage cavity 111, the operation is more convenient. In addition, the edge of the opening 112 of the storage cavity 111 can be designed to be slightly folded outward, so that the camera assembly 300 can be guided to enter the storage cavity 111 smoothly, while reducing wear and tear. In order to enhance the waterproof and dustproof performance, a rubber sealing ring can also be set at the opening 112 to ensure that when the camera assembly 300 is stored, dust and moisture from the outside are not easy to enter the storage cavity 111. In terms of material selection, the housing 110 can be made of high-strength engineering plastics or metal materials to improve durability and impact resistance.

[0052] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the housing 110 further includes a main body 115 connected between the first side 113 and the second side 114, and an inclined surface 116 is provided at the connection between the first side 113 and the main body 115, and at the connection between the second side 114 and the main body 115. The provision of the inclined surface 116 is conducive to improving the thin and light design of the notebook computer 10. Among them, a part of the structure of the opening 112 passes through the inclined surface 116, and an extension surface 1211 adapted to the inclined surface 116 is provided on the side of the covering portion 121 away from the mounting groove 1221. Therefore, when the receiving portion 122 is inserted into the storage cavity 111, the extension surface 1211 can be closely fitted with the inclined surface 116, ensuring the sealing between the cover 120 and the housing 110, preventing dust or other foreign matter from entering the storage cavity 111, and protecting the camera assembly 300 from damage. In addition, a portion of the opening 112 that passes through the inclined surface 116 helps guide the receiving portion 122 to be smoothly inserted into the receiving cavity 111 and the extended surface 1211 closes the opening 112, ensuring a lightweight design of the notebook computer 10 while reducing resistance during the insertion of the receiving portion 122, thereby improving user experience.

[0053] It is understood that in some embodiments, the inclined surface 116 of the housing 110 may be a continuous arc-shaped slope, or may be a step-shaped slope composed of multiple small planes at different angles, which may be specifically designed according to the requirements of the appearance design of the laptop computer 10 and the shape and size of the housing 110. In addition, the cooperation between the inclined surface 116 and the extension surface 1211 may also be designed as a snap-fit ​​structure, by providing a slot on the inclined surface 116 and a protrusion matching the slot on the extension surface 1211, so that the cover 120 can be more firmly fixed on the housing 110 after being inserted into the storage cavity 111 to prevent accidental falling off.

[0054] See also Figure 2 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the side of the covering part 121 away from the mounting groove 1221 protrudes from the receiving part 122 to form an extension surface 1211, and when the receiving part 122 is inserted into the receiving cavity 111, the extension surface 1211 is connected to the inclined surface 116. This not only enhances the sealing performance between the covering part 120 and the housing 110, but also improves the installation accuracy of the covering part 120. Due to the existence of the extension surface 1211, when the covering part 120 is inserted into the receiving cavity 111, it can be ensured that the covering part 121 accurately covers the opening 112, so that the covering part 120 is visually integrated with the housing 110, avoiding the gap problem caused by improper installation, and improving the overall aesthetics and durability of the product. Specifically, when the protruding extension surface 1211 is inserted into the receiving cavity 111, it will fit closely with the inclined surface 116 of the housing 110 to form a complete plane, preventing dust and moisture from entering the receiving cavity 111.

[0055] It is understood that in some embodiments, the protruding shape of the extension surface 1211 matches the shape of the opening 112, and the height of the protrusion can be close to the wall thickness of the housing 110 to ensure that it can perfectly fit the inclined surface 116 without affecting the normal operation of other components. In order to enhance the user experience, some subtle textures or patterns can also be set on the surface of the extension surface 1211 to increase the touch and aesthetics. In order to facilitate manual operation by the user, grooves or convex points can be set on the extension surface 1211 to increase the friction between the finger and the extension surface 1211, so that the user can more easily pull the cover 120 out of the storage cavity 111. In addition, in order to enhance the aesthetics of the cover 120, the surface of the extension surface 1211 can be subjected to different surface treatments, including but not limited to spraying, electroplating or frosting, to meet the personalized needs of different users. In some embodiments, the extension surface 1211 can also integrate other functions, such as an integrated LED indicator for displaying the working status of the camera assembly 300, or an integrated magnetic material so that the cover 120 can be adsorbed on the metal surface for temporary placement by the user.

[0056] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the camera assembly 300 includes a camera module 310 and an electrical connection portion 320, and the receiving portion 122 is provided with a protective groove 1223 connected to the mounting groove 1221, and the protective groove 1223 is configured to accommodate the electrical connection portion 320. Therefore, when the camera assembly 300 is in the storage position, the electrical connection portion 320 can be safely accommodated in the protective groove 1223, avoiding external physical damage, and also preventing dust and other impurities from entering the electrical connection portion 320, thereby extending the service life of the camera assembly 300. In addition, the provision of the protective groove 1223 helps to maintain the stability and reliability of the camera assembly 300, ensuring that it will not loosen or fall off in the storage state, thereby improving the safety of the overall structure.

[0057] It is understood that in some embodiments, the protective groove 1223 can be designed into a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different types of electrical connections 320. For example, if the electrical connection 320 is in the form of a plug, the protective groove 1223 can be designed with a buckle structure to ensure that the plug is firmly fixed in the protective groove 1223 to prevent accidental falling off. In addition, the inner wall of the protective groove 1223 can be made of anti-static material to reduce the impact of static electricity on the electrical connection 320 and further improve the stability of the camera assembly 300. In order to improve the protection effect, a waterproof sealing ring can be set at the entrance of the protective groove 1223 to prevent moisture from entering, which is suitable for use outdoors or in humid environments.

[0058] See also Figure 3In some embodiments, the receiving portion 122 is provided with a first connecting member 1224 located in the installation groove 1221, and the camera assembly 300 is provided with a second connecting member 330. The first connecting member 1224 and the second connecting member 330 are detachably connected to fix or detach the camera assembly 300 from the cover 120. This design allows the camera assembly 300 to be easily installed and disassembled, and the user can take out or store the camera assembly 300 at any time as needed, thereby improving the flexibility and maintainability of the product. The cooperation between the first connecting member 1224 and the second connecting member 330 can also provide a stable fixing effect, ensuring that the camera assembly 300 will not loosen or shift when in the storage position, thereby ensuring the safety of the camera assembly 300.

[0059] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, the first connector 1224 and the second connector 330 can be connected in a variety of ways, including but not limited to magnetic connection, snap connection, threaded connection, etc. Exemplarily, the first connector 1224 and the second connector 330 can adopt a magnetic structure, and can be connected to each other by magnetic attraction. In this way, it is easy to store or remove the camera assembly 300 in the installation slot 1221. The user only needs to align the camera assembly 300 with the installation slot 1221 to automatically adsorb and fix it. When disassembling, it only needs to be gently pulled to separate. In addition, the first connector 1224 and the second connector 330 can also adopt a snap-on structure to provide a more secure fixing effect, which is suitable for application scenarios that require higher stability. In addition, in order to improve the reliability and life of the connection, the contact surface of the first connector 1224 and the second connector 330 can be surface treated, including but not limited to nickel plating, chrome plating, etc., to enhance corrosion resistance and wear resistance. In some embodiments, a cushion may be provided between the first connector 1224 and the second connector 330 to reduce the impact of vibration and shock on the connection part, further improving the stability of the camera assembly 300. To facilitate the user to identify the connection status, an indicator mark may be provided on the first connector 1224 or the second connector 330, including but not limited to color change or sound prompt, to inform the user that the camera assembly 300 has been correctly installed or removed.

[0060] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7In some embodiments, the housing 110 includes a first shell 117 and a second shell 118. The first shell 117 and the second shell 118 jointly define a storage cavity 111, and the opening 112 is provided in the first shell 117. When the receiving portion 122 is inserted into the storage cavity 111, the notch of the installation slot 1221 faces the second shell 118, and the covering portion 121 faces away from the second shell 118 to cover the opening 112. Through the combination of the first shell 117 and the second shell 118, a closed storage cavity 111 is formed to ensure the safety of the camera assembly 300 in the storage state. The notch of the installation slot 1221 faces the second shell 118, making it more convenient to install the camera assembly 300. The user can insert the camera assembly 300 into the installation slot 1221 from the side of the second shell 118, reducing the difficulty of operation. The covering portion 121 faces away from the second shell 118, which can effectively cover the opening 112, prevent dust and debris from entering the storage cavity 111, and protect the camera assembly 300.

[0061] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first shell 117 and the second shell 118 can be connected in a variety of ways, including but not limited to screw fixing, snap connection or welding. Screw fixing can provide higher connection strength and is suitable for scenes that require long-term stable use; snap connection is easy to operate, convenient for disassembly and maintenance; welding can provide better sealing effect and is suitable for environments with high waterproof or dustproof requirements. In addition, the materials of the first shell 117 and the second shell 118 can be selected from different materials, including but not limited to plastic, metal or composite materials, to meet different usage requirements and cost considerations. The materials used in the first shell 117 and the second shell 118 can be the same or different. In order to improve the sealing of the storage cavity 111, a sealing ring can be set at the junction of the first shell 117 and the second shell 118 to prevent moisture and dust from entering. In some embodiments, the first shell 117 and the second shell 118 can also be provided with a buffer material, such as a sponge or foam, to reduce the vibration and impact of the camera assembly 300 in the storage cavity 111, and further improve its safety.
