[0037] An embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings, in which Figures 1 to 3 wherein Figure 1 is shown as a partial perspective view of a notebook computer according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is shown as Figure 1 is shown as an exploded view of an assembly frame of the notebook computer, and Figure 3 is shown as Figure 1 is shown as an actuation view of one of the assembly frames.

[0038] In the present embodiment, a notebook computer 1 is disclosed, which includes a main body 10 and a display body 20. The main body 10 can include an assembly frame 11 and electronic components 12. The assembly frame 11 includes a first shell 100 and a second shell 200. The first shell 100 can be, for example, an assembly for a keyboard, and the first shell 100 can have a security hole 101. The security hole 101 can be, for example, a Kensington Security Slot (K-Slot) for a computer lock LK. The second shell 200 can be, for example, a back cover. The first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are oppositely arranged to collectively form an internal space (not labeled). The electronic components 12 can be, for example, a hard disk, and the electronic components 12 are arranged in the internal space. The display body 20 can be, for example, an assembly having a screen, and the display body 20 can be, for example, pivotally arranged on the main body 10.

[0039] The assembly frame 11 can further include a clamping member 300, a rotating member 400, and a returning member 500. The clamping member 300, the rotating member 400, and the returning member 500 can all be located in the internal space. The clamping member 300 can be, for example, a hook, and the clamping member 300 is connected to the second shell 200. The clamping member 300 can have a first guide slope 301, and the first guide slope 301 faces away from the second shell 200.

[0040] The rotating member 400 can include a pivot portion 410, a clamping portion 420, and an extension portion 430. The pivot portion 410 is rotatably disposed on the first housing 100, for example, by a rotating shaft ST. The clamping portion 420 and the extension portion 430 are connected to the pivot portion 410 and can be located on opposite sides of the pivot portion 410. The clamping portion 420 and the extension portion 430 are movable with the rotation of the pivot portion 410. The clamping portion 420 can have a clamping surface 421, an abutting surface 422, and a second guide inclined surface 423. The clamping surface 421 can face away from the second housing 200. The abutting surface 422 can face toward the second housing 200, and the second housing 200 is located on the movement path of the abutting surface 422. The second guide inclined surface 423 can be located between the clamping surface 421 and the abutting surface 422, and the second guide inclined surface 423 faces toward the second housing 200. The extension portion 430 can have a first abutting surface 431 and a second abutting surface 432 on opposite sides. The first abutting surface 431 faces toward the return member 500. The second abutting surface 432 can face toward the anti-theft hole 101.

[0041] The return member 500 can be, for example, a plate body with flexibility, and the return member 500 is disposed on the first housing 100, for example, by a screw SW. The return member 500 is located on the movement path of the extension portion 430. The return member 500 can abut against the first abutting surface 431 of the extension portion 430 to maintain the extension portion 430 together with the clamping portion 420 in a combined position, as shown in Figure 3

[0042] The following will illustrate the operation of the assembled frame. Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 together with Figures 3 to 5 , wherein Figures 3 to 5 is shown as Figure 1 schematic diagram of the operation of the assembled frame.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 , when the clamping portion 420 is located in the combined position, the clamping portion 420 clamps the clamping member 300 by the clamping surface 421 to limit the relative movement between the second housing 200 and the first housing 100.

[0044] To release the clamping relationship between the clamping portion 420 and the clamping member 300 to disassemble the second housing 200 from the first housing 100, the computer lock LK (shown in Figure 1 ) can be removed from the anti-theft hole 101 first to expose the second abutting surface 432 outside through the anti-theft hole 101. Then, a thorn needle PN can be inserted through the anti-theft hole 101 and used to abut against the second abutting surface 432 of the extension portion 430 to move the clamping portion 420 together with the extension portion 430 to a release position, as shown in Figure 4 . At this time, the force exerted by the thorn needle PN on the second abutting surface 432 can be greater than the force exerted by the return member 500 on the first abutting surface 431, so that the extension portion 430 is temporarily maintained in the release position.​

[0045] As Figure 4 shown, when the engaging portion 420 is in the release position, the engaging surface 421 is away from the engaging member 300 to release the engagement with the engaging member 300. Also, during the movement of the engaging portion 420 from the engagement position to the release position, the engaging portion 420 abuts against the second housing 200 via the abutting surface 422 to push the second housing 200 away from the first housing 100.

[0046] That is, only by passing the pin needle PN through the anti-theft hole 101 and abutting against the extending portion 430, the second housing 200 can be pushed away from the first housing 100 while releasing the engagement of the engaging portion 420 with the engaging member 300.

[0047] Then, the pin needle PN can be pulled out of the anti-theft hole 101. Since the extending portion 430 is no longer subjected to the force applied by the pin needle PN, the force applied by the restoring member 500 on the first abutting surface 431 restores the extending portion 430 along with the engaging portion 420 to the engagement position, as Figure 5 shown. At this time, the first guide slope 301 of the engaging member 300 is fitted on the second guide slope 423 of the engaging portion 420, and the engaging surface 421 of the engaging portion 420 is no longer engaged with the engaging member 300. Therefore, the second housing 200 can be easily removed from the first housing 100.

[0048] To assemble the second housing 200 to the first housing 100 again, a force can be applied to the second housing 200 toward the first housing 100. During the application of the force, the engaging member 300 connected to the second housing 200 abuts against the second guide slope 423 of the engaging portion 420 via the first guide slope 301 to move the engaging portion 420 to the release position and no longer be located on the path of movement of the engaging member 300 toward the first housing 100. Then, after the first guide slope 301 passes the engaging portion 420 and the second housing 200 is assembled to the first housing 100, the force applied by the restoring member 500 on the first abutting surface 431 restores the extending portion 430 along with the engaging portion 420 to the engagement position again, so that the engaging portion 420 engages the engaging member 300 again via the engaging surface 421 to complete the restriction of the relative movement between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, as Figure 3 shown.

[0049] According to the notebook computer and the assembly frame described above, since the engaging portion located in the internal space and arranged on the first housing engages the engaging member located in the internal space and connected to the second housing via the engaging surface when the engaging portion is in the engagement position, the assembly frame is not easily disassembled from the outside. When the assembly frame is applied to the main body of the notebook computer, the main body is not easily disassembled from the outside, and the risk of theft of the electronic components in the main body can be reduced.

[0050] And, by the design of pushing the second shell away from the first shell while releasing the engagement of the engagement member of the engagement portion, 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 inserting a pick into the anti-theft hole to move the engagement portion to the release position, thus reducing the possibility of the second shell being detached.

[0052] In some embodiments, at least one of the first shell and the second shell can also be an assembly of multiple components, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second shell can also have an anti-theft hole, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0054] In some embodiments, the extension and the return member can not be included, and other tools can be used to adjust the position of the engagement portion, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0055] In some embodiments, if the second shell is assembled to the first shell, the engagement member can smoothly move the engagement portion to the release position, and the engagement member can not have the first guide slope, and the engagement portion can not have the second guide slope, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0056] In some embodiments, in addition to the engagement between the engagement portion and the engagement member, tools such as screws can be used to assist the combination of the first shell and the second shell, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0057] Although the present application is disclosed as above with the above-mentioned embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, therefore the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the application patent scope defined in the accompanying description.
