[0029] With the continuous development of science and technology, laptops have become more and more widely used as tools for office work or leisure and entertainment. Most laptops are equipped with a touchpad area to realize the touch function. Since the touchpad area of ​​laptops on the market currently has no waterproof structure, if the user accidentally pours water on the computer, the water will directly flow into the computer through the gaps around the touchpad. The accumulated water will stay in the computer for a long time, which may easily cause the laptop to short-circuit and affect the normal use of the user.

[0030] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a notebook touchpad waterproof structure 1000, including a shell 1 and a touchpad 2, the shell 1 is formed with a mounting groove 11; the touchpad 2 is clamped in the mounting groove 11, the touchpad 2 and the shell 1 are enclosed to form a accommodating cavity to accommodate accumulated water, and a drainage hole 12 is opened at the bottom of the shell 1, and the drainage hole 12 is connected to the accommodating cavity.

[0031] The technical solution of the utility model is to set a closed accommodating chamber below the touch pad 2. When water flows down from the gap around the touch pad 2, the water can be collected by the accommodating chamber and discharged out of the laptop computer through the drainage hole 12 at the bottom of the shell 1, so as to avoid the water from being retained in the shell 1 for a long time and affecting the normal use of the laptop computer.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, in order to collect the accumulated water in the receiving cavity and drain it out of the laptop computer housing 1, the notebook touchpad waterproof structure 1000 further includes a water collecting tank 3, which is connected to the receiving cavity and extends along the length direction of the touchpad 2, and the drainage hole 12 is connected to the water collecting tank 3. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The water collecting trough 3 is arranged on one side below the touch pad 2 and the touch pad 2 is extended along the length direction. The position of the water collecting trough 3 is lower than the position of the mounting groove 11, so that after the mounting groove 11 is filled with water, the accumulated water can quickly flow into the mounting groove 11 and be discharged out of the shell 1 in time through the drainage hole 12. Optionally, in other embodiments, the water collecting trough 3 can also be extended along the width direction of the touch pad 2, which can be selected according to actual needs. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 can be set with a slight slope, so that the height of one side of the water collecting trough 3 is lower than the height of the other side, so that the accumulated water can flow into the water collecting trough 3 under the action of its own gravity. The number of water collecting troughs 3 is not limited to one, and multiple water collecting troughs 3 can also be opened at intervals on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11, and drainage holes 12 are set at the bottom of each water collecting trough 3 to achieve drainage effect.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to quickly drain the accumulated water in the water collecting tank 3, the drainage hole 12 is located in the middle of the extension direction of the water collecting tank 3. In actual design, the bottom of the water collecting tank 3 may be provided with a plurality of drainage holes 12 for drainage. In this embodiment, in order to simplify the structure of the drainage hole 12 as much as possible, facilitate production and ensure the beauty of the shell 1, only one drainage hole 12 is provided in the middle of the water collecting tank 3, so that the accumulated water at both ends of the water collecting tank 3 can flow out through the drainage hole 12 after a short distance. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the water collecting tank 3 is inclined, and the height gradually decreases from the two ends to the middle along the extension direction of the water collecting tank 3. The water collecting tank 3 is made into a shape with high ends and low middle, which speeds up the drainage of water, avoids the accumulation of water in the shell 1 for a long time, and ensures the normal use of the laptop computer.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, in order to ensure the safety of drainage through the drainage hole 12, the bottom wall of the housing 1 extends downward to form the drainage hole 12. Figure 2 The shell 1 extends downward to form a cylindrical structure that is directly connected to the outside of the shell 1. The hole in the cylindrical structure is used as the drainage hole 12 of the notebook touchpad waterproof structure 1000. In this way, the entire installation cavity is sealed. In the process of the accumulated water from the accommodating cavity to the outside of the shell 1, it will not leak through other gaps to the mainboard of the notebook computer or other components, further ensuring the safety of the notebook touchpad waterproof structure 1000. Optionally, the shell 1 and the cylindrical structure are integrally formed to ensure the sealing effect of the shell 1.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, in order to realize the circuit connection of the touch pad 2, the notebook touch pad waterproof structure 1000 further includes a printed circuit board 4, and the printed circuit board 4 is arranged in the mounting groove 11 and connected to the side of the touch pad 2 facing the drainage hole 12. Please refer to Figure 2 The printed circuit board 4 is arranged directly below the touch pad 2 and is electrically connected to the mainboard of the laptop computer. A pressure sensing element is arranged on the printed circuit board 4 to sense the pressure from the touch pad 2 to enable the user to use the touch function. Furthermore, in order to prevent the accumulated water in the receiving cavity from affecting the printed circuit board 4, the mounting groove 11 is a stepped groove. The mounting groove 11 includes a first mounting groove 11 and a second mounting groove 11 which are successively raised along the bottom wall. The first mounting groove 11 forms a receiving cavity, and the printed circuit board 4 abuts against the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 11. Please refer to Figure 2 , the printed circuit board 4 is installed in the second installation groove 11 at a higher position. When water accidentally enters the periphery of the touch panel 2, the accumulated water can flow along the edges of the touch panel 2 and the printed circuit board 4 to the first installation groove 11 below, thereby reducing the influence of the accumulated water on the components or connectors in the middle part of the printed circuit board 4. Through the stepped design, the printed circuit board 4 is kept at a certain safety distance from the first installation groove 11 below, preventing the accumulated water in the first installation groove 11 from affecting the printed circuit board 4 above.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the printed circuit board 4 and the main board below, a connection hole 1121 is provided on the bottom wall of the second mounting slot 11, and the connection hole 1121 is used to pass a wire to connect the printed circuit board 4 and the main board. Figure 3, the connection hole 1121 is opened in the middle position of the second mounting groove 11 to reduce the possibility of the accumulated water infiltrating from the periphery of the touch pad 2 above entering the main board below through the connection hole 1121. Furthermore, the periphery of the connection hole 1121 is provided with a waterproof adhesive to seal the gap between the printed circuit board 4 and the periphery of the connection hole 1121. Optionally, the sealing effect can also be achieved by providing a flexible waterproof rubber ring around the connection hole 1121. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the thin and light design of the laptop computer and reduce the thickness of the laptop computer as much as possible, the connection hole 1121 is sealed by a waterproof adhesive. By coating the waterproof adhesive on the periphery of the connection hole 1121, the sealing effect between the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 11 and the bottom of the printed circuit board 4 is further improved to prevent accumulated water from infiltrating the connection hole 1121 and affecting the main board below. In addition, the components on the printed circuit board 4 can be arranged correspondingly above the connection holes 1121, so that the important parts of the printed circuit board 4 can be sealed and protected at the same time through the sealing effect of the waterproof adhesive, reducing the possibility of being affected by water accumulation and ensuring the safety performance of the laptop computer.
