[0032] like Figure 1As described above, this embodiment provides a laptop computer, which includes a display unit 11, an input unit 12, and a hinge 13. The display unit 11 includes a display housing and a display screen disposed on the display housing. The input unit 12 includes an input housing and a keyboard disposed on the input housing. One end of the display housing is rotatably connected to one end of the input housing via the hinge 13. In addition, in order to prevent the laptop computer from being hit by the shell when opening and closing at a large angle and to reduce external impact and scratch damage to the laptop computer, the laptop computer 1 also includes a buffer 2. The buffer 2 is disposed at one end of the display housing near the hinge 13. The buffer 2 includes a first buffer portion 21 and a second buffer portion 22. Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the first buffer portion 21 is provided on the end surface of the display housing near the end of the rotating shaft 13. When the laptop computer is opened and closed at a large angle, the first buffer portion 21 can be clamped between the display housing and the input housing, thereby buffering the collision between the display housing and the input housing, absorbing part of the impact energy when opening and closing at a large angle, thereby reducing the pressure on the rotating shaft 13 and further extending the service life of the rotating shaft 13; the second buffer portion 22 is provided on the side of the display housing near the end of the rotating shaft 13 away from the display screen, mainly used to provide buffering protection when the laptop computer is closed or subjected to impact from above. In addition, when the laptop computer is placed on an uneven or inclined plane at the maximum opening and closing angle, the first buffer portion 21 can also provide support and prevent the laptop computer from sliding; the buffer member 2 is also provided with a hollowing out, which does not affect the function of the buffer member 2 while saving materials and controlling costs to a certain extent. At the same time, different shapes and patterns can be set on the product through the hollowing out to improve the overall aesthetics of the product. In addition, the buffer member 2 can also be designed in multiple colors, so that it can be matched with laptop computers of different colors of different users, further integrating the buffer member 2 with the user's laptop computer and improving the aesthetics.

[0033] Multiple buffer members 2 can be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the laptop computer's rotating shaft 13, but the number of buffer members 2 installed on a laptop computer 1 is at least two, and at least two buffer members 2 are placed on both sides of the rotating shaft 13 of the display shell along the axial direction. There is no limit to the number of buffer members 2. It can be adjusted according to the size of different models of laptop computers and user needs to provide more comprehensive protection, and ultimately the purpose of protecting the laptop computer is achieved.

[0034] Preferably, in order to form a continuous protection area and improve the protection ability of the buffer 2 against accidental falling of the laptop computer, the first buffer portion 21 and the second buffer portion 22 of the buffer 2 are connected in an "L" shape, so that the edges of the frame on the hinge side of the display shell of the laptop computer facing away from the display screen are also protected in the buffer 2, further improving the safety of the computer. At the same time, when the user moves the laptop computer, the "L"-shaped buffer 2 covers the sharp edges and corners that are uncomfortable to the hand, improving the comfort of the user's grip when carrying it.

[0035] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, the buffer 2 includes a support layer 211 and a buffer layer 212, wherein the support layer 211 is made of hard plastic or metal, such as ABS plastic, aluminum alloy, etc., which provides basic shape and structural support for the buffer 2, and the buffer layer 212 is coated on the outside of the support layer 211, and is made of silicone or rubber, with good elasticity and buffering performance. This double-layer structure can ensure the strength of the buffer 2 while effectively absorbing the energy caused by collision and impact.

[0036] Preferably, the outer surface of the buffer 2 is also provided with anti-slip grooves, thereby increasing the friction between the placement plane and the laptop, making the placement of the laptop more stable, and also enhancing the stability of the laptop on the inclined plane, providing more possibilities for users to use the computer.

[0037] To further enhance the laptop's stability and anti-slip capabilities on tilted surfaces, the anti-slip pattern is a series of raised stripes interwoven horizontally and vertically. This prevents slipping and stabilizes the laptop regardless of whether it is subjected to horizontal or vertical forces. The raised anti-slip pattern also enhances the friction between the laptop and the surface it is placed on, making the laptop placement more stable and secure, and improving the user experience.

[0038] Preferably, the buffer member 2 also includes a third buffer portion, the first buffer portion 21 is arranged on the end surface of the display shell close to the rotating shaft 13, the second buffer portion 22 is arranged on the side of the display shell close to the rotating shaft 13 away from the display screen, and the third buffer portion is arranged at the corner of the display shell. The three buffer portions respectively cover the three adjacent surfaces of the corner, which further enhances the impact resistance of the corner of the laptop frame. In order to adapt to the shape of the corner, the shape of the third buffer portion is arc-shaped.

[0039] Preferably, the thickness of each buffering part of the buffering member 2 is between 3mm and 5mm. Within this thickness range, the buffering member 2 can have a good buffering effect, while not affecting the user's computer experience due to being too thick or failing to protect the laptop due to being too thin.

[0040] The utility model patent discloses a laptop computer, which effectively improves the physical protection capability of the laptop computer and increases the stability by arranging a buffer part 2 at one end of the display shell of the laptop computer 1 near the rotating shaft 13. Since the design of the buffer part 2 is relatively independent, even if it is damaged during use, it can be easily replaced, reducing maintenance costs and improving the user experience.

[0041] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
