Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of host design technology, specifically relating to an integrated foldable host. Background Technology
[0002] Common keyboard, main unit, and touchscreen designs are all integrated, which is inconvenient to carry and cannot be directly connected to a monitor. To achieve portability, many existing keyboard designs adopt a foldable design, but the main unit remains integrated. For example, Chinese patent CN104750258A discloses a novel foldable and detachable keyboard that separates the main keyboard and numeric keypad, connecting them via physical connectors. The main keyboard and numeric keypad are electrically connected, with the communication line using a male-female interface; the male interface is on the left side of the numeric keypad, and the female interface is on the right side of the main keyboard. The main keyboard consists of a left and right keyboard, connected via physical connectors. The left and right keyboards are electrically connected, with the communication line using a male-female interface; the male interface is on the right side of the left keyboard, and the female interface is on the left side of the right keyboard. The advantages are: while the keyboard can still function normally for text input, the numeric keypad can be separated and not used; the left, right, and numeric keypads are connected to the communication interface via physical connectors; when not in use, they can be disassembled and placed in a travel bag for easier carrying, offering flexibility and convenience.
[0003] Another example is a dual-screen foldable computer with patent number CN1564145A. It uses a conventional touchscreen as the main touchscreen, with a secondary touchscreen located in the upper half of the main panel. The keyboard is positioned below the secondary touchscreen, with some buttons and mouse positions adjusted accordingly. A dual-screen graphics card enables single-screen or dual-screen display, and a three-position switch toggles the operating states of the main and secondary touchscreens. These improvements do not affect other functions of existing foldable computers, particularly the ability to connect external display devices via a VGA interface, allowing for multi-screen display while maintaining the main and secondary touchscreens. However, this structure is relatively complex and not easily portable.
[0004] To achieve portability, existing host structures must be foldable. However, once foldable, it becomes difficult to integrate the host, keyboard, and touchscreen into a single unit. Summary of the Invention

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a charging port is provided on one side of the keyboard in cooperation with the host.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a data transmission interface is provided on the other side of the keyboard in cooperation with the host.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the host includes a left host and a right host, which are connected by a rotating shaft assembly.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the touchscreen and the magnetic connector are connected via a connecting sleeve.
[0016] Beneficial effects: This application provides an integrated foldable host. The foldable host and foldable keyboard are easy to carry after folding. The touch screen is connected to the foldable keyboard via a magnetic connector. Magnetic connection ports are provided on different panels of the foldable keyboard to magnetically connect and fix the touch screen. When the host and keyboard are unfolded, the touch screen can be magnetically connected to the top of the host for easy operation. When the host and keyboard are folded and stored, the touch screen can be magnetically connected to the back of the host for easy storage. The connection with the magnetic connector in different states realizes the integrated installation of the host, keyboard and touch screen. Attached Figure Description
