[0022] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention, the preferred embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are described in detail below.

[0023] The utility model provides a portable computer, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it includes a host module 10 and a display module 20 , and the display module 20 is rotatably connected to the host module 10 relative to the host module 10 .

[0024] The host module 10 includes a body 11, a touchpad module 12 and a computer motherboard 13. The touchpad module 12 includes a touchpad motherboard 121, a touch panel 122 and a flash memory card reader 123. The touchpad motherboard 121 has a first surface and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other. The touch panel 122 is arranged on the first surface of the touchpad motherboard 121; the flash memory card reader 123 is arranged on the second surface of the touchpad motherboard 121. The touchpad module 12 is arranged in the body 11 and its touch panel 122 is exposed on the upper surface of the body 11 through a through hole 111 arranged on the body 11 corresponding to the touch panel 122, so that the user can perform touch input. The computer motherboard 13 (see Figure 4 ) is disposed in the body 11, and the touch control motherboard 121 and the flash memory card reader 123 are electrically connected to the computer motherboard 13 respectively.

[0025] Among them, the touch panel 122 and the touch motherboard 121 are used to realize the touch function of the touch module 12. The touch panel 122 is used for the user to perform touch operations, and the touch motherboard 121 is used to analyze the touch operations performed by the user on the touch panel 122, convert them into instructions that can be understood by the computer and transmit them to the computer motherboard 13; the flash memory card reader 123 is used to set up a connection with a flash memory card so that the computer motherboard 13 can store data in the flash memory card or read data from the flash memory card.

[0026] Furthermore, the flash memory card reader 123 is connected to the computer motherboard 13 via a flash memory connector. Figure 4 As shown, the flash storage connector includes a first flash storage connector 124, a second flash storage connector 131 and a flash storage connection line 125, wherein the first flash storage connector 124 is arranged on the second surface of the touch control motherboard 121 and connected to the flash memory card reader 123; the second flash storage connector 131 is arranged on the computer motherboard 13, and the flash storage connection line 125 connects the first flash storage connector 124 and the second flash storage connector 131.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the flash memory card reader 123 is a TF card (Trans-flash Card) reader. Accordingly, the first flash storage connector 124 is a first TF connector, the second flash storage connector 131 is a second TF connector, and the flash storage connection line 125 is a TF connection line.

[0028] Furthermore, the portable computer also includes a flash memory card 126, see Figure 4 As shown, the flash memory card 126 is arranged in the flash memory card reader 123 for storing data, and the computer motherboard 13 can store data to the flash memory card 126 or read data from the flash memory card 126 via the flash memory card reader 123. In a preferred embodiment, the flash memory card reader 123 is a TF card reader, and the flash memory card 126 is a TF card.

[0029] Furthermore, the touch panel mainboard 121 is connected to the computer mainboard 13 via a touch panel connector. Figure 4As shown, the touchpad connector includes a first touchpad connector 127, a second touchpad connector 132 and a touchpad connecting line 128, wherein the first touchpad connector 127 is arranged on the second surface of the touch motherboard 121, the second touchpad connector 132 is arranged on the computer motherboard 13, and the touchpad connecting line 128 connects the first touchpad connector 127 and the second touchpad connector 132.

[0030] It can be seen that the portable computer of the present invention integrates the flash memory card reader 123 into the touch module 12 of the portable computer, so that the touch module 12 becomes an expansion component of the portable computer. The flash memory card reader 123, especially a TF card reader, is formed as an interface arranged inside the body 11, and is no longer in the external interface area of ​​the computer motherboard 13. It can not only save space in the external interface area of ​​the portable computer to set other external connectors, but also avoid the flash memory card inserted in the card reader from being plugged in and out at will, thereby preventing the leakage of stored data.

[0031] Furthermore, the portable computer of the present invention sets the flash memory card reader 123 and the flash memory card 126, especially the TF card reader and the TF card, on the touch module 12 of the portable computer and is located inside the portable computer for data storage. This is not only convenient for users to insert and replace cards by themselves to increase storage capacity, but also allows the portable computer to omit the HDD (Hard Disk Drive, mechanical hard disk) module, that is, no longer set up the HDD module. In this way, the space originally used for setting the HDD module of the portable computer can be used to expand the battery, that is, to increase the volume of the battery, and correspondingly increase the battery capacity, so that the portable computer has a longer standby time.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the internal structure of a host module 10 ′ of a portable computer provided with a HDD module 14 ′ and a battery 15 ′. Figure 6 The figure shows the internal structure of the host module 10'' of the portable computer after omitting the HDD module and expanding the battery 15''. Figure 7 Further examples Figure 6 The host module 10 ″ of the portable computer is provided with a touch module 12 having a flash memory card reader 123 of the present invention.

[0033] Moreover, due to the small size of TF cards, it saves space, the power consumption of TF cards is low, it is more energy-efficient than HDDs, and the reading speed of TF cards is faster than HDDs. In addition, the HDD is close to the speaker and the vibration of the speaker will affect the reading speed, while the TF card is not affected by the speaker. Even if there is no need to expand the battery capacity, using TF cards to replace the HDD module or expand the storage space for portable computers is also conducive to the lightweight of portable computers, the improvement of operating speed and the extension of standby time.

[0034] As described above, for ordinary technicians in this field, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made according to the technical scheme and technical concept of the utility model, and all these changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
