Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of notebook devices, and in particular to a light and thin notebook capable of preventing corners from warping. Background Art

[0002] To prevent laptops from sliding when placed on a desk, silicone feet are designed on the bottom of the laptop to prevent them from sliding relative to the desk during operation. However, when designing thin and light laptops, due to weight requirements, when the laptop screen is opened to a certain angle, the laptop's system end may tilt upward, usually on the left or right side. When this occurs, the silicone feet on the bottom of the laptop support the desk surface, commonly known as the "three-legged cat" phenomenon.

[0003] As for the design of existing foot pads, deformation and other problems are inevitable during the manufacturing process of the injection molding process. After the foot pad is assembled, the entire foot pad contacts the desktop, and the contact surface will have inconsistent heights due to deformation and other reasons. Therefore, it is very easy for a corner of the laptop to be warped. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a thin and light notebook that prevents corners from warping, so as to solve the above problem.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following scheme:

[0006] The present application provides a thin and light notebook that prevents corners from curling, comprising: a notebook body and a foot pad assembly; the notebook body is composed of a body shell and a screen shell that can be flipped relative to each other; the foot pad assembly is correspondingly configured on the bottom wall of the body shell; wherein, the foot pad assembly includes a first foot pad, a second foot pad, and a third foot pad; the first foot pad and the second foot pad are respectively arranged at the two lower corners; the third foot pad is in the shape of a strip and is horizontally connected between the two upper corners; the third foot pad forms a hollow area in at least the middle section that can reserve its own deformation space, thereby reducing the support contact area with the outside world.

[0007] As a further improvement, both ends of the third foot pad are rounded, and the hollowed-out area is proportionally reduced relative to the third foot pad and is arranged in the center.

[0008] As a further improvement, the length of the hollowed-out area accounts for 80% of the total length of the third foot pad, and the depth of the hollowed-out area accounts for 50% of the total thickness of the third foot pad.

[0009] As a further improvement, the left ends of the first foot pad and the third foot pad are longitudinally flush, and the right ends of the second foot pad and the third foot pad are longitudinally flush.

[0010] As a further improvement, the first foot pad and the second foot pad are both configured in a pill shape to form point contact support with the outside world.

[0011] As a further improvement, the length of the hollow area extends beyond the inner ends of the first foot pad and the second foot pad.

[0012] As a further improvement, the first foot pad and the second foot pad are configured to have the same thickness, and the thickness of the third foot pad is twice that of the first foot pad / the second foot pad.

[0013] As a further improvement, the body shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and a supporting foam is provided between the upper shell and the lower shell, and the supporting foam is correspondingly filled directly below the first foot pad and the second foot pad.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the utility model can achieve the following technical effects:

[0015] 1. The thin and light notebook of the present application is provided with three foot pads on the bottom wall of the body shell, and a third foot pad extending laterally on the upper side can effectively disperse the stress caused by flipping and supporting use, maintain the overall balance and stability, significantly improve the occurrence of corner warping, and avoid the unstable center of gravity caused by the weight of the body when the thin and light notebook is opened and closed. In particular, when the display screen is opened to a certain angle, it is less likely to cause the bottom corners to warp.

[0016] 2. The third foot pad in a strip shape covers the larger support surface between the two upper corners, and the rational configuration of the hollowed-out area in the middle reduces the direct contact area between the foot pad and the desktop, avoiding instability caused by uneven contact, thereby enhancing support stability. This is different from the inconsistent support surface height caused by traditional four-corner foot pads, greatly reducing the risk of warping at any corner.

[0017] 3. In addition, the hollowed-out area of ​​the third foot pad provides it with space for deformation, allowing it to have sufficient cushioning when under stress, helping to reduce the degree of deformation under long-term pressure. Compared with the traditional full-contact design, the hollowed-out area can alleviate some friction and pressure concentration, extending the service life of the foot pad, and thus improving the overall durability of the notebook. Therefore, through the layout of the three foot pads, it can effectively prevent slipping during operation, while optimizing the support contact between the notebook and the desktop, so that it can maintain a relatively stable support state when the screen is opened at different angles. When users operate the notebook at different angles, the body will not shake or the corners will not warp due to imbalance, providing a smoother user experience. It not only meets the requirements of a thin and light notebook for a light appearance, but also ensures structural stability without affecting the overall aesthetics.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model for which protection is claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] Example

[0027] Combine Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a thin and light notebook that prevents corner warping, comprising a notebook body and a foot pad assembly. The notebook body is composed of a body shell 1 and a screen shell 2 that can be flipped relative to each other, and the foot pad assembly is correspondingly configured on the bottom wall of the body shell 1.

[0028] The foot pad assembly includes a first foot pad 3, a second foot pad 4, and a third foot pad 5. The first and second foot pads 3 and 4 are located at the two lower corners, respectively. The third foot pad 5 is a strip and is horizontally connected between the two upper corners. The third foot pad 5 has a hollowed-out area 6 at least in the middle section to allow for deformation, thereby reducing the support contact area with the outside world.

[0029] The above-mentioned thin and light notebook that prevents corner warping has three foot pads on the bottom wall of the body shell 1, and a third foot pad 5 extending laterally on the upper side can effectively disperse the stress caused by flipping and supporting use, maintain the overall balance and stability, significantly improve the occurrence of corner warping, and avoid the unstable center of gravity of the thin and light notebook due to the weight of the body when opening and closing (please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Especially when the display is opened to a certain angle, it is less likely to cause the bottom corner to warp.

[0030] Among them, the strip-shaped third foot pad 5 is used to cover the larger support surface between the two upper corners, and the reasonable configuration of the middle hollow area 6 reduces the direct contact area between the foot pad and the desktop, avoiding instability caused by uneven contact, thereby enhancing the support stability. Different from the traditional four-corner foot pads that cause inconsistent support surface height, the risk of warping of a corner is greatly reduced.

[0031] Furthermore, the hollowed-out area 6 of the third foot pad 5 provides it with deformation space, so that the foot pad has sufficient cushioning when subjected to force, which helps to reduce the degree of long-term compression deformation. Compared with the traditional full-contact design, the hollowed-out area 6 can relieve some friction and pressure concentration, extend the service life of the foot pad, and thus improve the overall durability of the notebook.

[0032] The three foot pads provide effective anti-slip performance during operation and optimize the contact between the laptop and the surface, ensuring a stable support position at all screen angles. When users operate the laptop at different angles, there is no wobbling or corner warping due to imbalance, providing a smoother user experience. This not only meets the lightweight design requirements of thin and light notebooks, but also ensures structural stability without compromising the overall aesthetic.

[0033] In this embodiment, the third foot pad 5 has rounded ends at both ends, and the hollowed-out area 6 is proportionally reduced relative to the third foot pad 5 and located in the center. The rounded ends provide greater stability when in contact with the desktop, avoiding the wear and tear associated with sharp-angled structures. The rounded design also disperses pressure from the edges during support, further reducing deformation and wear of the foot pad due to uneven pressure, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, the hollowed-out area 6 is proportionally reduced and located in the center of the third foot pad 5, preserving the pad's primary support function while allowing for deformation. This reduces the direct contact surface while ensuring sufficient support area, lowering frictional resistance to the desktop and ensuring stability when the laptop is opened at different angles. Furthermore, the centrally located hollowed-out design ensures more even force on the foot pad, further preventing corner warping due to uneven pressure.

[0034] Preferably, the length of the hollowed-out area 6 accounts for 80% of the total length of the third foot pad 5, thereby minimizing the weight of the foot pad while maintaining its support function. The depth of the hollowed-out area 6 accounts for 50% of the total thickness of the third foot pad 5, forming a reasonable groove that provides ample deformation space, allowing the foot pad to flexibly deform under load, thereby distributing localized pressure and reducing the risk of deformation. In actual use, this reduces the pressure felt by the foot pad on the desktop, extends its service life, and further prevents deformation and warping caused by concentrated pressure.

[0035] Furthermore, the left ends of the first foot pad 3 and the third foot pad 5 are aligned longitudinally, while the right ends of the second foot pad 4 and the third foot pad 5 are aligned longitudinally. Thus, an integrated support frame is formed, providing a stable support structure when the laptop is placed, evenly distributing the weight of the laptop on both sides, and effectively reducing the tilting of the laptop caused by uneven force when opening and closing the screen.

[0036] It's worth noting that both the first and second foot pads 3 and 4 are configured in a pill-shaped configuration, providing point-contact support with the outside world. This pill-shaped design ensures point contact, rather than surface contact, between the first and second foot pads 3 and 4. This minimizes the contact area between the foot pads and the desktop, reducing frictional resistance while allowing the laptop's bottom to generate greater support force at a smaller contact point.

[0037] In this embodiment, the length of the hollowed-out area 6 extends beyond the inner ends of the first and second foot pads 3, 4. The extension of the hollowed-out area 6 provides a larger deformation space in the central portion of the third foot pad 5, effectively dispersing stress from different directions and further reducing the possibility of corner warping.

[0038] Preferably, the first and second foot pads 3 and 4 are configured to have the same thickness, and the third foot pad 5 is twice as thick as the first and second foot pads 3 and 4. The third foot pad 5 is twice as thick as the first and second foot pads 4, making it the primary support structure and assuming greater load-bearing capacity. The differential thickness design allows the third foot pad 5 to provide stronger lateral support, reducing the tilting of the laptop caused by opening and closing the screen. The first and second foot pads 3 and 4 serve as auxiliary support points, working in conjunction with the thick third foot pad 5 to ensure that the laptop maintains stable contact with the desktop at various angles.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 includes an upper shell 7 and a lower shell 8. A support foam 9 is disposed between the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 8, and the support foam 9 is placed directly below the first foot pad 3 and the second foot pad 4. The support foam 9 effectively enhances the stability of the housing 1. Because the foam provides a certain degree of elasticity and cushioning, it can form a flexible support under the first foot pad 3 and the second foot pad 4, ensuring more uniform support force at the bottom when the notebook is operated at different angles.

[0040] The above are only preferred implementations of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
