[0029] The following describes the implementation of the present application through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification.

[0030] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of this application. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by this application. At the same time, terms such as "front", "back", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of this application. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of this application without substantially changing the technical content.

[0031] It should be noted that the existing technology uses riveting to assemble the rotating shaft and the shell. On the one hand, since the rivet holes are deep holes and the riveting process requires high processing accuracy of the holes, the processing of the rivet holes is relatively difficult. On the other hand, the connecting shaft and the rotating shaft will receive impact force during the riveting process, which requires the shaft material to have high hardness and certain processing accuracy, which increases the difficulty of shaft processing. Therefore, in the existing production process, affected by the processing quality, if the material hardness or processing accuracy is insufficient, the rotating shaft torque will be unstable or fail during the riveting process, resulting in product scrapping, reduced production efficiency and qualified rate, and defective products cannot be repaired and can only be scrapped as a whole, increasing production costs.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 6The present application exemplarily provides a mounting structure for a notebook computer hinge, comprising:

[0033] The mounting hole 7 is provided on the laptop computer, and an assembly position is provided on the hole wall of the mounting hole 7;

[0034] Connecting shaft 1, one end of connecting shaft 1 extends into mounting hole 7, the other end of connecting shaft 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 4 of the laptop computer, the circumference of connecting shaft 1 is provided with an assembly structure matching the assembly position, connecting shaft 1 extends into mounting hole 7, and the assembly structure is stuck on the assembly position to assemble connecting shaft 1 in mounting hole 7.

[0035] In the installation structure of the laptop computer hinge provided in the present application, when the connecting shaft 1 of the installation structure is assembled, the assembly structure of the connecting shaft 1 is matched with the assembly position in the mounting hole 7. The assembly structure can be locked in the assembly position by rotating the connecting shaft 1, thereby realizing the assembly of the connecting shaft 1 and the mounting hole 7. There is no need to use riveting for connection, no impact force will be generated, the processing accuracy requirements and assembly difficulty are reduced, the production efficiency and product assembly qualification rate are improved, and the production cost is reduced.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The assembly position is a spiral groove 8, and the assembly structure is a spiral protrusion 2 arranged along the circumference of the connecting shaft 1. When assembling the connecting shaft 1, the connecting shaft 1 is rotated to clamp the spiral protrusion 2 on the spiral groove 8 until the connecting shaft 1 extends into the bottom of the mounting hole 7. Specifically, the spiral groove 8 and the spiral protrusion 2 are continuous or discontinuous. By rotating the connecting shaft 1, the spiral groove 8 is matched with the spiral protrusion 2 to assemble the connecting shaft 1 on the mounting hole 7. During the processing, the processing accuracy of the connecting shaft 1 and the mounting hole 7 can be relaxed, reducing the difficulty of product assembly. At the same time, during the assembly process, the connecting shaft 1 or the rotating shaft 4 will not be subjected to a large impact force, and the shaft body is not easily damaged, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5The assembly position is an arc groove 10, which is evenly distributed on the hole wall of the mounting hole 7. The assembly structure is an arc-shaped protrusion 11 evenly distributed along the circumference of the connecting shaft 1. When the connecting shaft 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 7, the connecting shaft 1 is rotated to clamp the arc protrusion 11 on the arc groove 10. Specifically, the arc protrusion 11 can have a certain deformation ability, or have a give way structure. When the connecting shaft 1 is assembled in the mounting hole 7, the arc protrusion 11 contacts the hole wall of the mounting hole 7, causing deformation or avoidance. When the connecting shaft 1 is rotated, the arc protrusion 11 enters the arc groove 10 and is clamped on the arc groove 10 to complete the assembly. During the processing, the processing accuracy of the connecting shaft 1 and the mounting hole 7 can be relaxed, reducing the difficulty of product assembly. At the same time, during the assembly process, the connecting shaft 1 or the rotating shaft 4 will not be subjected to a large impact force, and the shaft body is not easily damaged, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0038] In the above embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a limiting groove 9 is provided at the opening of the mounting hole 7, and a limiting protrusion 3 is provided on the connecting shaft 1. When the connecting shaft 1 is rotated to match the assembly structure with the assembly position, the limiting protrusion 3 is stuck in the limiting groove 9 to limit the connecting shaft 1 in the extending direction of the connecting shaft 1. Specifically, when the connecting shaft 1 is rotated to make the limiting protrusion 3 stuck in the limiting groove 9, the connecting shaft 1 is assembled. At this time, the connecting shaft 1 can no longer rotate and is restricted by the limiting groove 9 and the limiting protrusion 3 and cannot exit the mounting hole 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the connecting shaft 1 is less than or equal to the diameter of the mounting hole 7. By designing the dimensions of the connecting shaft 1 and the mounting hole 7, the processing accuracy requirements of the connecting shaft 1 and the mounting hole 7 can be reduced, thereby reducing the processing difficulty.

[0040] In another embodiment, see Figure 6 , the present application also provides a laptop computer, comprising:

[0041] An upper housing 6 having a screen;

[0042] The lower housing (not shown) forms a folding structure with the upper housing 6;

[0043] The rotating shaft 4 is used to connect the upper shell 6 and the lower shell;

[0044] As for the above-mentioned mounting structure, the mounting hole 7 is provided on the upper shell 6, one end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the connecting shaft 1, and the other end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the lower shell.

[0045] In this embodiment, a connecting member 5 is provided on the lower shell, and the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably provided on the connecting member 5. The upper shell 6 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate on the connecting member 5 to open or fold the screen. Specifically, the connecting shaft 1 is assembled on the mounting hole 7, one end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the connecting shaft 1, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 5. At this time, the upper shell 6 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, and the upper shell 6 moves relative to the lower shell to realize the opening and folding of the screen.

[0046] In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 1 and the rotating shaft 4 are a detachable structure or an integrally connected structure. Specifically, when the connecting shaft 1 and the rotating shaft 4 are detachable structures, the connecting shaft 1 is first installed on the mounting hole 7, and then the connecting shaft 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 4. When the connecting shaft 1 and the rotating shaft 4 are an integral structure, the connecting shaft 1 is installed on the mounting hole 7, that is, the rotating shaft 4 is installed on the mounting hole 7.

[0047] In summary, in the mounting structure and laptop computer provided in the present application, when assembling, the connecting shaft 1 of the mounting structure is matched with the assembly position in the mounting hole 7 by rotating the connecting shaft 1 so that the assembly structure can be clamped in the assembly position, thereby realizing the assembly of the connecting shaft 1 and the mounting hole 7. There is no need to use riveting for connection, no impact force will be generated, the processing accuracy requirements and assembly difficulty are reduced, the production efficiency and product qualification rate are improved, and the production cost is reduced.
