Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer stand technology, specifically to a hinged structure and a computer stand. Background Technology

[0002] Laptops, due to their portability, have gradually replaced desktop computers, becoming indispensable tools for people in their work and daily lives. When using a laptop, it's mostly placed directly on a desk. However, because users have different heights, the laptop's position on the same surface can vary, and desk height can reduce comfort. For users, if the laptop screen is not at an appropriate height, prolonged use can cause tension in the neck, arms, and back muscles, potentially leading to lumbar or spondylosis. Therefore, laptop stands have emerged on the market to support and adjust the height of laptops.

[0003] In existing laptop stands, the rotating part at the front end of the stand usually uses a pin as a pivot to achieve the rotation function. However, with the increase of use time, wear and tear easily occurs between the pin and the stand, the pin is easy to fall off, and the connection between the pin and the stand is also prone to breakage, resulting in a short service life of the laptop stand.

[0004] Furthermore, in traditional hinged structures, drilling holes in the support base is necessary to install the pins. Since the support base is very thin, high precision is required for drilling; otherwise, errors in the installation of the support plate will occur, leading to a high defect rate. The entire assembly process—drilling, inserting the pins, and then stamping—is complex, requires high precision, and is inconvenient to assemble. Utility Model Content

[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes the hinge structure and computer stand of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a hinge structure, including a support base 11, a support plate 12 and an encapsulation piece 14. The support plate 12 has a rotating part 121 at its end, and the support base 11 has a mounting groove 112 at its bottom that cooperates with the rotating part 121. The encapsulation piece 14 is installed in the mounting groove 112 to restrict the rotating part 121 from disengaging from the mounting groove 112.

[0032] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, each orientation is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0033] In the hinge structure provided in this embodiment, the rotating part 121 and the support plate 12 are integrally integrated. The front end of the support plate 12 can be inclined from top to bottom into the mounting hole 111, and then the support plate 12 can be lifted. The rotating part 121 can enter the mounting groove 112 from bottom to top through the mounting hole 111, and then be encapsulated by the encapsulating sheet 14, so that the rotating part 121 cannot be dislodged from the mounting groove 112. The rotating part 121 replaces the existing pin, and the rotating part 121 is used to realize the rotation function. With this design, the phenomenon of pin falling off due to wear will not occur. In addition to the encapsulation effect, the encapsulating sheet 14 can also play a good reinforcement role, improve the stability of the overall structure, make the overall structure of the computer bracket more stable, and thus extend the service life of the computer bracket.

[0034] In some embodiments, the bottom of the support base 11 is provided with a mounting hole 111 that mates with the encapsulation sheet 14, and the mounting groove 112 is disposed in the mounting hole 111, making installation more convenient.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 111 passes through the support base 11, and the rotating part 121 is fixedly disposed at the end of the support plate 12.

[0036] In some embodiments, the bottom of the support base 11 is provided with a sealing post 113, and the sealing sheet 14 is provided with a corresponding through hole. The sealing post 113 passes through the sealing sheet 14 through the through hole and engages with the sealing sheet 14. Specifically, there are two sealing posts 113. The sealing sheet 14 is provided with a through hole, and the sealing post 113 passes through the sealing sheet 14 through the through hole. Then, the top of the sealing post 113 is stamped with a stamping device so that the outer diameter of the top of the sealing post 113 is larger than the diameter of the through hole. The sealing post 113 then engages with the sealing sheet 14. The sealing sheet 14 is tightly engaged with the two sealing posts 113. The sealing post 113 and the support base 11 are integrally die-cast to prevent falling and make the overall structure more stable.

[0037] In some embodiments, the encapsulation post 113 and the support base 11 are integrally die-cast, resulting in a more stable structure.

[0038] In some embodiments, the encapsulation sheet 14 is made of stainless steel, which has good structural strength. In addition to its encapsulation effect, it can also provide good reinforcement, improve the overall structural stability, make the overall structure of the computer stand more stable, and thus extend the service life of the computer stand.

[0039] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The rotating part 121 can enter the mounting groove 112 from bottom to top through the mounting hole 111, and then be encapsulated by the encapsulating sheet 14, so that the rotating part 121 cannot be dislodged from the mounting groove 112. The rotating part 121 replaces the existing pin, and the rotating part 121 is used to realize the rotation function. With this design, the phenomenon of pin falling off due to wear will not occur. In addition to the encapsulation effect, the encapsulating sheet 14 can also play a good reinforcement role, improve the stability of the overall structure, make the overall structure of the computer bracket more stable, and thus extend the service life of the computer bracket.
