Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer support base technology, and in particular to a mini computer base. Background Technology
[0002] A mini PC stand is a small stand or bracket designed to support and enhance the stability, heat dissipation, and convenience of mini PCs (such as mini desktop PCs), ensuring that the mini PC can be placed securely on the stand and is not easy to slip or tip over.
[0003] Currently available mini computers have a raised heat dissipation structure on the bottom, and the power switch button is located on the bottom of the device, next to the raised heat dissipation structure. This makes it extremely inconvenient to turn the device on and off each time, requiring the device to be flipped over to press the button. This makes operation extremely inconvenient and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide a mini computer stand that allows for quick power-on and power-off operations by pressing the mini computer, making operation simple and improving the user experience.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A mini computer stand includes a base with a touch-sensitive raised button and a limiting groove. The touch-sensitive raised button is located beside the limiting groove. The bottom surface of the limiting groove has a downwardly recessed clearance groove located on the side of the limiting groove near the touch-sensitive raised button. The clearance groove and the connecting edge of the bottom surface form a supporting edge. The limiting groove is used to limit the protruding heat dissipation structure on the bottom of the mini computer. The bottom surface of the limiting groove is used to support the protruding heat dissipation structure on the bottom of the mini computer. The clearance groove is used to allow the mini computer to move downwards. The supporting edge is used to allow the mini computer to swing around the supporting edge as a pivot.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the limiting groove is conical in shape and is located in the middle of the base.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the limiting groove is provided with an inclined surface that extends downward along the middle of the bottom surface of the limiting groove toward the direction of the touch protrusion, and the angle between the inclined surface and the bottom surface is -1° to -6°.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the depth of the limiting groove is 1mm to 10mm, and the height of the touch protrusion is 5mm to 15mm.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the base has a receiving groove at its bottom, and a wire passing groove penetrating the side wall of the base is provided on one side of the receiving groove.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a first connection interface is provided on the inner sidewall of the receiving groove, and a second connection interface is provided on the outer sidewall of the base, wherein the first connection interface and the second connection interface are electrically connected.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the material of the touch-sensitive raised key is silicone.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the base is provided with multiple anti-slip pads at its bottom.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the base has an inspection window at its bottom, and the inspection window is covered with a cover plate.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, when the mini computer is placed on the base, the raised heat dissipation structure of the mini computer is embedded in the limiting groove. By pressing the top of the mini computer corresponding to the power switch button, the side of the mini computer near the touch convex button sinks into the relief groove of the base through the lever principle, thereby forming a certain angle of tilt. This allows the power switch button on the lower end of the mini computer to touch the touch convex button on the base, thereby realizing the power on / off operation. It can effectively improve the power on / off experience of using this type of mini computer, making the operation more ergonomic and in line with people's general operating habits. The operation is simple, and the entire power on / off action is smoother and more natural.
[0016] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0023] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model embodiment provides a mini computer stand, including a base 100. The base 100 is provided with a touch protrusion 110 and a limiting groove 120. The touch protrusion 110 is located next to the limiting groove 120, and the position of the touch protrusion 110 corresponds to the position of the power switch button 220 of the mini computer 200. The bottom surface of the limiting groove 120 is provided with a downwardly recessed relief groove 130, which is located on the side of the limiting groove 120 near the touch protrusion 110. The connecting edge of the relief groove 130 and the bottom surface forms a support edge 131. The limiting groove 120 is used to limit the protruding heat dissipation structure 210 at the bottom of the mini computer 200. The surface is used to support the raised heat dissipation structure 210 at the bottom of the mini computer 200. The clearance groove 130 is used to allow the mini computer 200 to move downward. The support edge 131 is used to allow the mini computer 200 to swing around the support edge 131 as a pivot. When the user presses the side of the mini computer 200 near the touch convex key 110, the mini computer 200 swings around the support edge 131 as a pivot, causing the side of the mini computer 200 near the touch convex key 110 to swing downward into the clearance groove 130, so that the touch convex key 110 can touch the power switch button 220 of the mini computer 200 to turn the mini computer 200 on or off.
[0025] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 120 is an inverted conical column and is located in the middle of the upper end surface of the base 100. The limiting groove 120 is adapted to the protruding heat dissipation structure of the mini computer 200 and is used to limit the mini computer 200 to prevent the mini computer 200 from sliding laterally on the base.
[0026] Furthermore, the limiting groove 120 is provided with an inclined surface 132 extending downward along the middle of the bottom surface towards the touch protrusion 110. The angle between the inclined surface 132 and the bottom surface is -1° to -6°. The inclined surface 132 and the side wall of the limiting groove 120 form the aforementioned clearance groove 130. The clearance groove 130 occupies less than half of the bottom surface area of the limiting groove 120. This allows the mini computer 200 to be supported on the bottom surface of the limiting groove 120 when placed in the limiting groove 120, preventing it from tilting directly towards the inclined surface 132.
[0027] Furthermore, the depth of the limiting groove 120 is 1mm to 10mm, and the height of the touch convex button 110 is 5mm to 15mm. The depth of the limiting groove 120 should not be too deep to avoid obstructing the air heat exchange circulation of the raised heat dissipation structure 210 of the mini computer 200. The distance from the bottom surface of the limiting groove 120 to the top of the touch convex button 110 is slightly less than the distance from the bottom surface of the mini computer 200 to the bottom of the raised heat dissipation structure 210. When normally placed, there is a gap of about 1mm between the touch convex button 110 and the power switch button 220. They only make contact when pressed down, preventing the touch convex button 110 from touching the power switch button 220 of the mini computer 200 when it is placed in the limiting groove 120.
[0028] Furthermore, the base 100 has a receiving groove 140 at its bottom, and a cable channel 150 that passes through the side wall of the base 100 is provided on one side of the receiving groove 140. The receiving groove 140 is used to store excessively long connecting cables, so as to avoid too many and messy connecting cables on the desktop and make the desktop look neat and beautiful.
[0029] Furthermore, a first connection interface 160 is provided on the inner side wall of the receiving slot 140, and a second connection interface 170 is provided on the outer side wall of the base 100. The first connection interface 160 and the second connection interface 170 are electrically connected. The second connection interface 170 includes, but is not limited to, a USB interface, a card reader interface, and an audio interface. The base also provides additional external device expansion interface functions to facilitate users to connect other devices. The first connection interface 160 is located in the receiving slot 140 and is used to connect to the mini computer 200.
[0030] Furthermore, the touch-sensitive raised button 110 is made of silicone to prevent excessive pressure when pressed, thus reducing the risk of damage to the power switch button 220 of the mini computer 200.
[0031] Furthermore, the base 100 has multiple anti-slip pads 180 on its bottom. There are four anti-slip pads 180, evenly distributed around the bottom of the base. The anti-slip pads 180 are made of silicone. Since mini-computers 200 are typically small, they are prone to shifting due to slight bumps, table vibrations, or cable pulling when placed on a flat surface like a desktop. The anti-slip pads 180 increase the friction between the base 100 and the surface, allowing it to sit stably on the desktop. For example, when a user accidentally bumps the table or plugs / unplugs cables for peripheral devices, the anti-slip pads 180 ensure that the mini base 100 will not easily slide, thus protecting the mini-computer 200's hardware interfaces from damage and reducing the risk of the mini-computer 200 being broken from a fall.
[0032] Furthermore, the base 100 has an inspection window 190 at its bottom, and a cover plate 191 is provided on the inspection window 190. The cover plate 191 is fixed to the inspection window 190 by a snap-fit method.
[0033] As can be seen from the above technical solution, when the mini-computer 200 is placed on the base 100, the raised heat dissipation structure 210 of the mini-computer 200 is embedded in the limiting groove 120. By pressing the top of the mini-computer 200 corresponding to the power switch button 220, the side of the mini-computer 200 close to the touch protrusion 110 sinks into the relief groove 130 of the base 100 through the lever principle, thereby forming a certain angle of tilt. This allows the power switch button 220 on the lower end of the mini-computer 200 to touch the touch protrusion 110 on the base 100, realizing the power on / off operation. This can effectively improve the power on / off experience of using this type of mini-computer 200, making the operation more ergonomic and in line with people's general operating habits. The operation is simple, making the entire power on / off action smoother and more natural, thus improving the user experience.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
