[0037] The following is an explanation of an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 ,in Figure 1 The figure is a partial three-dimensional schematic diagram of a notebook computer according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 Display as Figure 1 An exploded schematic diagram of an assembly frame of a laptop computer is shown, and Figure 3 Display as Figure 1 A schematic diagram of one of the actuation operations of the assembly frame shown.
[0038] In this embodiment, a notebook computer 1 is disclosed, comprising a host body 10 and a display body 20. The host body 10 may include an assembly frame 11 and an electronic component 12. The assembly frame 11 includes a first shell 100 and a second shell 200. The first shell 100 may be, for example, a component for keyboard installation, and the first shell 100 may have an anti-theft hole 101. The anti-theft hole 101 may be, for example, a Kensington security slot (K-Slot for short), which can be locked with a computer lock LK. The second shell 200 may be, for example, a back cover. The first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are arranged relative to each other to form an internal space (not separately labeled). The electronic component 12 may be, for example, a hard disk, and the electronic component 12 is arranged in the internal space. The display body 20 may be, for example, a component with a screen, and the display body 20 may be, for example, pivotally arranged on the host body 10.
[0039] The assembly frame 11 may further include a fastening member 300, a rotating member 400, and a restoring member 500. The fastening member 300, the rotating member 400, and the restoring member 500 may all be located in the internal space. The fastening member 300 may be, for example, a hook, and the fastening member 300 is connected to the second shell 200. The fastening member 300 may have a first guide slope 301, and the first guide slope 301 faces away from the second shell 200.
[0040] The rotating member 400 may include a pivoting portion 410, a locking portion 420 and an extending portion 430. The pivoting portion 410 is rotatably disposed on the first shell 100, for example, via a rotating shaft ST. The locking portion 420 and the extending portion 430 are connected to the pivoting portion 410 and may be located on opposite sides of the pivoting portion 410. The locking portion 420 and the extending portion 430 are movable with the rotation of the pivoting portion 410. The locking portion 420 may have a locking surface 421, a top contact surface 422 and a second guide inclined surface 423. The locking surface 421 may face away from the second shell 200. The top contact surface 422 may face the second shell 200, and the second shell 200 is located on the movement path of the top contact surface 422. The second guide inclined surface 423 may be located between the locking surface 421 and the top contact surface 422, and the second guide inclined surface 423 faces the second shell 200. The extension portion 430 may have a first abutting surface 431 and a second abutting surface 432 on opposite sides. The first abutting surface 431 faces the return member 500 , and the second abutting surface 432 faces the anti-theft hole 101 .
[0041] The restoring member 500 may be, for example, a flexible plate, and the restoring member 500 may be disposed on the first housing 100 by, for example, a screw SW. The restoring member 500 is located on the movement path of the extension portion 430. The restoring member 500 may abut against the first abutting surface 431 of the extension portion 430 to maintain the extension portion 430 and the buckling portion 420 in a combined position, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0042] The following will explain the operation of the assembly frame. Figure 1 to Figure 2 Refer to Figures 3 to 5 ,in Figures 3 to 5 Display as Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the operation of the assembly rack.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, when the buckling portion 420 is located at the combined position, the buckling portion 420 buckles the buckling member 300 through the buckling surface 421 to limit the relative movement between the second shell 200 and the first shell 100 .
[0044] If the fastening relationship between the fastening portion 420 and the fastening member 300 is to be released so as to remove the second housing 200 from the first housing 100, the computer lock LK (shown in FIG. Figure 1 ) is removed from the anti-theft hole 101 to expose the second abutting surface 432 to the outside through the anti-theft hole 101. Then, a needle PN can be passed through the anti-theft hole 101, and the needle PN can be used to abut the second abutting surface 432 of the extension portion 430, so that the extension portion 430 and the buckling portion 420 are moved to a release position, such as Figure 4 At this time, the force applied by the puncture needle PN on the second abutting surface 432 may be greater than the force applied by the restoring member 500 on the first abutting surface 431, so that the extension portion 430 is temporarily maintained at the release position.
[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, when the buckling portion 420 is located at the release position, the buckling surface 421 is away from the buckling member 300 and the buckling with the buckling member 300 is released. In addition, in the process of moving the buckling portion 420 from the combined position to the release position, the buckling portion 420 presses against the second housing 200 through the pressing surface 422 to push the second housing 200 away from the first housing 100.
[0046] That is to say, the second shell 200 can be pushed away from the first shell 100 by only passing the puncture needle PN through the anti-theft hole 101 and abutting the extension portion 430 , thereby releasing the fastening of the fastening portion 420 to the fastening member 300 .
[0047] Then, the puncture pin PN can be pulled out from the anti-theft hole 101. Since the extension portion 430 is no longer subjected to the force exerted by the puncture pin PN, the force exerted by the restoration member 500 on the first abutting surface 431 will restore the extension portion 430 and the buckling portion 420 to the combined position. Figure 5 At this time, the first guide slope 301 of the buckling member 300 is attached to the second guide slope 423 of the buckling portion 420, and the buckling member 300 will no longer be buckled with the buckling surface 421 of the buckling portion 420. Therefore, the second shell 200 can be easily removed from the first shell 100.
[0048] If the second shell 200 is to be assembled to the first shell 100 again, a force can be applied to the second shell 200 toward the first shell 100. During the force application process, the fastening member 300 connected to the second shell 200 presses against the second guide slope 423 of the fastening portion 420 through the first guide slope 301, so as to drive the fastening portion 420 to move to the release position and no longer be located on the movement path of the fastening member 300 toward the first shell 100. Then, after the first guide slope 301 passes over the fastening portion 420 and the second shell 200 has been assembled to the first shell 100, the force applied by the return member 500 to the first abutted surface 431 will restore the extension portion 430 together with the fastening portion 420 to the combined position again, so that the fastening portion 420 fastens the fastening member 300 again through the fastening surface 421, thereby completing the restriction of the relative movement between the first shell 100 and the second shell 200. Figure 3 shown.
[0049] According to the above-mentioned notebook computer and assembly rack, since the buckle part located in the internal space and arranged on the first shell member will buckle the buckle part located in the internal space and connected to the second shell member through the buckle surface when in the combined position, the assembly rack is not easy to be disassembled from the outside. When the assembly rack is applied to the host body of the notebook computer, the host body is not easy to be disassembled from the outside, which can reduce the risk of electronic components in the host body being stolen.
[0050] Furthermore, by releasing the fastening of the fastening part to the fastening member and pushing the second shell away from the first shell, the second shell can be easily removed from the first shell, thus facilitating the operation of the user.
[0051] In addition, when the anti-theft hole of the notebook computer is locked by the computer lock, it can also prevent others from poking a pin through the anti-theft hole to move the buckling part to the release position, thereby reducing the possibility of the second shell being detached.
[0052] In some embodiments, at least one of the first shell and the second shell may also be an assembly composed of a plurality of components, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0053] In some embodiments, the second shell may also have an anti-theft hole, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0054] In some embodiments, the extending portion and the restoring member may not be included, and other tools may be used to adjust the position of the locking portion, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0055] In some embodiments, when the second shell is assembled to the first shell, the buckle can smoothly move the buckle portion to the release position, the buckle may not have the first guide slope, and the buckle portion may not have the second guide slope, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0056] In some embodiments, in addition to the fastening between the fastening portion and the fastening member, tools such as screws may also be used to assist in combining the first shell component and the second shell component, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0057] Although the present invention is disclosed as above with the aforementioned embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of the patent application attached to this specification.
