Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of computer-aided equipment technology, and in particular relates to a heat dissipation base for a device with the power button located at the bottom. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid advancement of technology, electronic products on the market are constantly evolving. Some devices, in pursuit of aesthetics and style, feature a very minimalist design with very few buttons, often just a power button. Some even consider hiding the power button at the bottom of the device to avoid affecting its appearance.
[0003] However, in practical applications, when the device is placed on a carrier such as a desktop, cooling pad, or stand, the power button located at the bottom of the device becomes difficult to operate. The device can only be turned upside down to operate, causing many inconveniences for users. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a heat dissipation base with a switch to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the power button is located at the bottom of the device, making it difficult to operate the power button when the device is placed on a carrier.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a heat dissipation base with a switch, comprising:
[0007] seat body;
[0008] A button assembly is disposed on the base body. The button assembly includes a button for human hand operation and a trigger element linked to the button. The trigger element is used to trigger a power button at the bottom of the device. The button and the trigger element are respectively provided with elastic elements for reset.
[0009] A linkage mechanism is provided between the button and the trigger, the linkage mechanism including at least a linkage rod, the linkage rod and the trigger having mutually cooperating inclined surfaces, so that when the button drives the linkage rod to move, the linkage rod can lift the trigger upward.
[0010] Therefore, when the user presses the button, the linkage mechanism drives the trigger to rise, causing the trigger to press against the power button located at the bottom of the device from bottom to top, thus realizing the power button press operation. This allows users to indirectly operate the power button on the bottom of the device through the button assembly on the heat dissipation base without having to flip the device, effectively improving the convenience of operation.
[0011] An improvement is made to the structure of the linkage mechanism, which further includes a rotating shaft. The linkage rod includes a central ring and a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate connected to opposite sides of the central ring. The central ring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The bottom of the first connecting plate and the trigger element both have mutually cooperating inclined surfaces. The button is a push button used to drive the linkage rod to rotate, and the extended end of the button abuts against the side of the second connecting plate. This allows the user to press the button to drive the linkage rod to rotate, thereby causing the trigger element to rise and indirectly operate the device's power button.
[0012] Another improvement to the linkage mechanism is made: the linkage mechanism further includes a stop plate; the linkage rod is a bent rod body, and the linkage rod includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod connected perpendicularly; the extension end of the first connecting rod and the bottom of the trigger element both have mutually cooperating inclined surfaces; the button is a toggle block, which is used to drive the linkage rod to translate; the toggle block is connected to the extension end of the second connecting rod; the side of the second connecting rod has an extension shaft extending towards the stop plate; the elastic element on the button is sleeved on the extension shaft and abuts against the stop plate. In this way, the user can operate the toggle block to drive the linkage rod to translate, thereby causing the trigger element to rise, achieving indirect operation of the device's power button.
[0013] The structure of the base is improved. The base includes a housing and a top cover disposed on the housing. The top cover has a recessed disc for the bottom of the device to be embedded in. Multiple heat dissipation holes are arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the recessed disc. The recessed disc is arched at the bottom of the top cover, creating a heat dissipation gap between the bottom surface of the top cover and the upper surface of the housing, extending from the heat dissipation holes to the outer periphery of the base. This allows the bottom of the device placed on the heat dissipation base to be embedded in the recessed disc, improving positioning. Furthermore, the heat dissipation holes on the recessed disc align with the heat dissipation grid on the bottom of the device, forming a heat dissipation gap between the top cover and the housing, ensuring effective heat dissipation for the device.
[0014] In one embodiment, the top plate and the upper cover of the housing are respectively provided with corresponding through holes, and the trigger extends out of the housing from the through holes in the top plate and the upper cover; the bottom of the trigger is also provided with an outward protruding ring, and the two ends of the elastic element on the trigger abut against the outward protruding ring and the top plate of the housing, respectively. In this way, the trigger can extend out of the housing and abut against the power button at the bottom of the device, and the elastic element can be used to reset the trigger for the next operation.
[0015] Secondly, this application also provides another heat dissipation base with a switch, including:
[0016] The base includes a housing and a top cover disposed on the housing via a movable mechanism;
[0017] The box is equipped with a trigger element for engaging with the power button at the bottom of the device;
[0018] The upper cover is provided with a through hole that matches the position of the trigger, and the trigger extends out from the through hole;
[0019] The movable mechanism includes a guide post disposed on the upper cover and an elastic element sleeved on the guide post. The box body is provided with a guide hole corresponding to the position of the guide post. The guide post is inserted into the guide hole, and the elastic element is connected between the box body and the upper cover.
[0020] In this way, the upper cover can move up and down elastically on the box by using the movable mechanism. When the device is placed on the upper cover, the user can press the device to drive the entire upper cover to move downward, thereby causing the trigger to push the power button at the bottom of the device, thus realizing indirect operation of the power button.
[0021] In one embodiment, the top cover is further provided with a hook, and the box body is provided with a snap hole that engages with the hook. This limits the travel of the top cover, effectively preventing it from easily detaching from the box body and improving the operational stability of the moving mechanism.
[0022] An improvement to the base structure includes a main control board, a hard drive bay, and a data port. The hard drive bay is used to mount a hard drive, and both the hard drive bay and the data port are electrically connected to the main control board. This allows the cooling base to have data transmission and storage functions, enabling it to be used as a portable hard drive and effectively improving its performance.
[0023] In one embodiment, the bottom of the base body has an opening for mounting a hard drive on the hard drive dock and a cover plate that covers the opening. The base body has a fixing lug located at the opening, and the fixing lug has a screw hole. One end of the cover plate has an outwardly extending insertion edge, and the other end of the cover plate has a mounting hole corresponding to the position of the screw hole. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the hard drive dock, making it convenient to install or replace the hard drive on the hard drive dock.
[0024] Another improvement to the base structure is made: the base further includes a main control board and at least one expansion interface electrically connected to the main control board, with the expansion interfaces distributed on the outer periphery of the base. This gives the heat dissipation base an expansion connection function, allowing it to be used as an expansion dock, effectively improving the performance of the heat dissipation base.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the heat dissipation base provided in this application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the heat dissipation base of this application embodiment is designed for devices (such as MAC Mini) with the power button located at the bottom of the device. The heat dissipation base is provided with a button assembly for manual operation, which corresponds to the position of the power button on the bottom of the device placed on the heat dissipation base. The button assembly includes at least a trigger element for triggering the power button on the bottom of the device. When the user operates the operating part on the base, such as the button, the trigger element will abut against the power button on the bottom of the device, thereby triggering the power button. Therefore, the user does not need to flip the device to indirectly operate the power button on the bottom of the device through the operating part on the heat dissipation base, effectively improving operational convenience and enhancing the user experience.

[0053] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0054] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.
[0055] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0056] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0057] For devices with the power button located at the bottom of the device, this application uses the MAC MINI as an example for detailed explanation.
[0058] The Mac Mini is a small desktop computer launched by Apple. Compared with other desktop computers, it takes up less space and consumes less energy. The Mac Mini also boasts a unique design, with an aluminum alloy body and a sleek silver exterior, giving it a square box-like appearance that is widely loved by users. Figure 1As shown, the power button (P) of the Mac Mini is located on the bottom of the device. When the device is placed on a surface such as a desktop, cooling pad, or stand, the power button (P) is close to the surface, making it difficult to reach and operate. Users must lift the device or flip it over to access the power button. In practical applications, the data interface on the device is connected to cables, which interfere with the flipping operation. Users must disconnect these cables one by one to flip the device. Therefore, the simple operation of the power button (P) becomes quite difficult and cumbersome, causing considerable inconvenience for users.
[0059] Therefore, this application provides a novel heat dissipation base with a switch, specifically designed for devices (such as MAC MINI) where the power button P is located at the bottom of the device, making it inconvenient to operate. This allows users to easily trigger the power button P without flipping the device, effectively solving the problem of difficulty in operating the power button P of MAC MINI when it is placed. The present invention will now be described in detail.
[0060] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heat dissipation base includes a base body 1 and a button assembly 2.
[0061] The base 1 is shaped to fit the bottom of the device, allowing the device to be placed entirely on the base 1. The base 1 is equipped with a button assembly 2, which is matched with the power button P on the device.
[0062] The button assembly 2 includes a button 21 for pressing by hand and a trigger 22 linked to the button 21. The trigger 22 is used to trigger the power button P on the device. In this embodiment, the trigger 22 can preferably be a push rod structure that cooperates with the position of the power button P on the device, thereby ensuring the triggering stability of the power button P.
[0063] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the button 21 and the trigger 22 are respectively provided with an elastic element 23 for reset. The elastic element 23 can preferably be a spring, so that the button 21 and the trigger 22 have the ability to automatically and elastically reset.
[0064] A linkage mechanism is connected between the button 21 and the trigger 22. The linkage mechanism includes at least a linkage rod 3. The linkage rod 3 and the trigger 22 have mutually cooperating inclined surfaces 31. When the button 21 drives the linkage rod 3 to move, the linkage rod 3 can lift the trigger 22 upward, so that the trigger 22 can press against the power button P at the bottom of the device to realize the pressing operation of the power button P.
[0065] Compared with the prior art, the heat dissipation base provided in this application embodiment is designed for devices (such as MAC Mini) where the power button P is located at the bottom of the device. The heat dissipation base has a button assembly 2 for manual operation, which corresponds to the position of the power button P on the bottom of the device placed on the heat dissipation base. The button assembly 2 includes a button 21 and a trigger 22, and the operation is linked through a linkage mechanism between the button 21 and the trigger 22. When the user operates the button 21, the linkage mechanism drives the trigger 22 to rise, causing the trigger 22 to press against the power button P located at the bottom of the device from bottom to top, thereby achieving the pressing operation of the power button P.
[0066] This allows users to indirectly operate the power button P on the bottom of the device via the button 21 on the heat dissipation base without having to flip the device, effectively improving ease of operation and thus enhancing the user experience.
[0067] Compared to related technologies where a protruding button structure is provided on one corner of the heat sink base, the button structure in the related technology protrudes from the position of the power button P on the bottom of the device, resulting in an outwardly extending protrusion on one corner of the entire heat sink base, which affects the overall appearance of the heat sink base. In the heat sink base of this application embodiment, the button 21 is located on one side of the base body 1, and the trigger 22 and the linkage mechanism are both inside the base body 1, so that the outer peripheral surface of the entire base body 1 is flat, and there is no protrusion on the base body 1, effectively improving the integrity and aesthetics of the heat sink base.
[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the MAC MINI has a disc-shaped arched structure at the bottom, and a heat dissipation grille is arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of this arched structure. In one embodiment of this application, please also refer to... Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The base 1 includes a housing 11 and an upper cover 12 disposed on the housing 11. The upper cover 12 is provided with a recessed disc 121 for the bottom of the device to be embedded. The recessed disc 121 can preferably match the arched structure shape of the bottom of the MAC MINI, so that when the MAC MINI is placed on the heat dissipation base of this embodiment, the entire arched structure of the bottom can be embedded in the recessed disc 121, and the bottom surface of the MAC MINI can make flat contact with the upper surface of the upper cover 12, thereby improving the stability of the device placement.
[0069] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 ( Figure 7(The arrows in the diagram indicate the airflow path for heat dissipation). Multiple heat dissipation holes 122 are arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the concave disk 121. The concave disk 121 is arched at the bottom of the upper cover 12, creating a heat dissipation gap M between the bottom surface of the upper cover 12 and the upper surface of the housing 11, extending from the heat dissipation holes 122 to the outer periphery of the base 1. This allows the heat generated during device operation to flow from the heat dissipation holes 122 of the concave disk 121 to the heat dissipation gap M and outwards from the heat dissipation base, thus achieving a comprehensive heat dissipation structure and ensuring effective heat dissipation for the device.
[0070] Preferably, a heat dissipation grid 123 located on the heat dissipation gap M can be provided on the outer periphery of the base body 1, so as to prevent foreign objects such as dust particles from easily entering the heat dissipation gap M, causing blockage of the heat dissipation channel and making it difficult to clean, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation base.
[0071] In this way, on the one hand, the bottom of the device placed on the heat sink base can be embedded in the concave plate 121, improving the positioning effect and ensuring that the bottom surface of the device is in flat contact with the upper surface of the top cover 12, which helps to ensure the triggering stability of the trigger element 22 and the power button P of the device. On the other hand, the heat dissipation holes 122 on the concave plate 121 are matched with the heat dissipation grid 123 on the bottom of the device, and form a heat dissipation gap M between the top cover 12 and the box body 11, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the device.
[0072] In this embodiment, please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 8 The housing 11 is preferably a separate container, and the interior of the housing 11 can be equipped with a linkage mechanism and other electrical components. The top plate and the top cover 12 of the housing 11 are respectively provided with corresponding through holes 13. The trigger 22 passes through the through holes 13 on the top plate and the top cover 12 of the housing 11 in sequence to extend outside the base 1 so as to contact the power button P at the bottom of the device.
[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the trigger 22 is also provided with an outer protruding ring 221. The first elastic element 23a on the trigger 22 is sleeved on the trigger 22. The two ends of the first elastic element 23a abut against the outer protruding ring 221 and the top plate of the box 11, respectively.
[0074] In this way, the trigger 22 can protrude from the outside of the base 1 and abut against the power button at the bottom of the device, and the elastic element 23a on the trigger 22 can be used to reset the trigger 22 for the next operation.
[0075] The linkage mechanism in the embodiments of this application includes, but is not limited to, the following forms:
[0076] Example 1
[0077] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 8 and Figure 9 The linkage mechanism also includes a rotating shaft 4, which in this embodiment is disposed on the top plate of the box 11 and extends vertically.
[0078] The linkage 3 includes a central ring 32 and a first connecting plate 33 and a second connecting plate 34 connected to opposite sides of the central ring 32. The central ring 32 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4. The bottom of the first connecting plate 33 and the trigger 22 are both provided with mutually cooperating inclined surfaces 31.
[0079] The button 21 is preferably a button 21a, which is exposed on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 11 for manual pressing. The button 21a drives the linkage 3 to rotate, and its extended end abuts against the side of the second connecting plate 34. The second elastic element 23b on the button 21 is sleeved on the extended end of the button 21a, and its two ends abut against the side of the second connecting plate 34 and the button 21a, respectively, so that the button 21a can be reset.
[0080] Thus, when the user presses button 21a, the extended end of button 21a drives the linkage 3 to rotate, thereby causing the first connecting plate 33 to raise the trigger 22 so as to press against the power button P at the bottom of the device, thereby realizing indirect operation of the power button P.
[0081] Example 2
[0082] In another embodiment of this application, please refer to [the relevant document / reference]. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The linkage mechanism also includes a stop plate 5. In this embodiment, the stop plate 5 is preferably disposed on the top plate of the box body 11 and extends vertically.
[0083] The linkage 3 is preferably a bent L-shaped rod, which includes a first connecting rod 35 and a second connecting rod 36 that are perpendicularly connected. The extended end of the first connecting rod 35 and the bottom of the trigger 22 are both provided with mutually cooperating inclined surfaces 31.
[0084] The button 21 is preferably a toggle block 21b, which is exposed on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 11 for manual operation. The toggle block 21b is used to drive the connecting rod 3 to translate. The toggle block 21b is connected to the extension end of the second connecting rod 36, and the side of the second connecting rod 36 is provided with an extension shaft 361 extending towards the stop plate 5. Preferably, the extension shaft 361 extends parallel to the first connecting rod 35 in the same direction.
[0085] The second elastic element 23b on the button 21 is sleeved on the extension shaft 361, and the two ends of the second elastic element 23b abut against the side of the stop plate 5 and the second connecting rod 36, respectively.
[0086] When the user moves the toggle 21b, it causes the entire linkage 3 to translate, and the second elastic element 23b to contract. This causes the first connecting rod 35 to raise the trigger element 22 so that it can press against the power button P at the bottom of the device, thus indirectly operating the power button P. When the user removes their hand, the second elastic element 23b will spring back to its original position, causing the linkage 3 to reset the toggle 21b.
[0087] As can be seen, in the linkage mechanism of the above embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, the various components cooperate with the trigger 22 and the button 21 in a compact structure, which helps to save space and allows the entire linkage mechanism to be housed inside the box 11. There is no need to set up a protruding structure to affect the appearance of the base 1, effectively ensuring the flatness and aesthetics of the heat dissipation base.
[0088] Example 3
[0089] Please refer to the third embodiment of this application as well. Figure 12 and Figure 13 The heat dissipation base includes a base body 1, which includes a box body 11 and an upper cover 12 mounted on the box body 11 via a movable mechanism.
[0090] The housing 11 is provided with a trigger element 22 for engaging with the power button P at the bottom of the device. The top cover 12 is provided with a through hole 13 that engages with the trigger element 22, so that the trigger element 22 can extend out of the housing 1 through the through hole 13.
[0091] The movable mechanism includes multiple guide posts 124 disposed on the upper cover 12, and third elastic elements 125 sleeved on each guide post 124. The multiple guide posts 124 are preferably evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the upper cover 12 and located near the edge of the upper cover 12. Correspondingly, the housing 11 has the same number of guide holes 111 as the guide posts 124, and each guide post 124 is positioned and can be inserted into each other. The third elastic elements 125 can preferably be springs, each third elastic element 125 sleeved on each guide post 124 and connected between the top plate of the housing 11 and the bottom surface of the upper cover 12.
[0092] Thus, the movable mechanism allows the top cover 12 to move elastically up and down on the housing 11. When the device is placed on the top cover 12, a person presses the device to drive the entire top cover 12 downward, thereby causing the trigger 22 to push the power button at the bottom of the device, achieving indirect operation of the power button. When the force from the person's hand is removed, each of the third elastic elements 125 elastically returns to its original position, allowing the top cover 12 and the device to reset.
[0093] To prevent the top cover 12 from easily detaching from the box body 11, please refer to the following in this embodiment: Figure 12 and Figure 13The bottom surface of the upper cover 12 is also provided with a plurality of hooks 126, including a first hook 126a and a second hook 126b. The first hook 126a is located at the center of the bottom surface of the upper cover 12 and is distributed in a ring around the center of the upper cover 12. The second hooks 126b are respectively located near the edge of the upper cover 12.
[0094] Correspondingly, the top plate of the box body 11 is provided with a plurality of buckle holes 112, the same number as the buckle hooks 126. Each buckle hole 112 corresponds to the position of the first buckle hook 126a and the second buckle hook 126b on the top cover 12, and they are fastened together.
[0095] In this way, by using the snap-fit between the hook 126 and the snap hole 112, the movement of the top cover 12 is limited, effectively preventing the top cover 12 from easily detaching from the box body 11, thereby improving the working stability of the moving mechanism.
[0096] To optimize the performance of base 1, corresponding functional modules can be added to base 1, including but not limited to the following forms:
[0097] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to the following: Figure 14 and Figure 15 The heat dissipation base 1 also includes a main control board 6, a hard drive socket 7, and a data port 8. The main control board 6 and the hard drive socket 7 are both located inside the box 11, and the data port 8 is exposed on the outer periphery of the box 11 for connecting peripheral cables.
[0098] Hard drive bay 7 is used to install hard drives. Both hard drive bay 7 and data port 8 are electrically connected to the main control board 6.
[0099] In this embodiment, the hard drive dock 7 is preferably a mounting dock capable of installing a solid-state drive (SSD). The SSD is preferably a thin, PCB-shaped hard drive, such as an M.2 SSD, mounted on the hard drive dock 7 to save space. In use, the device (such as a Mac Mini) is first placed on the heatsink, and then a data cable is connected between the data port 8 and the device to achieve data connection and power supply.
[0100] This allows the cooling pad to have data transmission and storage functions, enabling it to be used as a portable hard drive and effectively improving the performance of the cooling pad.
[0101] In this embodiment, as Figure 15 As shown, one end of the hard disk dock 7 has a connecting end 71 for connecting to the terminals of the hard disk; the other end of the hard disk dock 7 is provided with a detachable fastener 72, which is used to fix the extension end of the hard disk.
[0102] Preferably, multiple adjustment holes (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the hard disk socket 7 along its length, so that the fixing member 72 can be selectively set on the corresponding adjustment holes, which is beneficial to adapt to the installation and fixing of solid-state drives of different specifications, thereby improving the installation compatibility.
[0103] In practical applications, since hard drives need to be installed or replaced on the heat sink, the installation structure of the hard drive dock 7 is particularly important.
[0104] Therefore, regarding the hard drive bay 7 mounting structure on the heat sink base, please refer to [reference needed] in this embodiment. Figure 15 The bottom of the base 1 is provided with an opening 14 for installing a hard drive on the hard drive socket 7 and a cover plate 15 that covers the opening 14. The base 1 is provided with a fixing ear 16 located in the opening 14, and a screw hole 161 is provided on the fixing ear 16.
[0105] Correspondingly, one end of the cover plate 15 is provided with an outwardly extending insert edge 151. Preferably, a corresponding snap groove or protrusion (not shown) is provided on the opening 14 of the base body 1 to engage with the insert edge 151 on the cover plate 15. The other end of the cover plate 15 is provided with a mounting hole 152 corresponding to the screw hole 161, so that fasteners such as screws can be inserted through the mounting hole 152 and the screw hole 161 on the fixing lug 16, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the cover plate 15.
[0106] This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the hard drive dock 7, making it convenient to install or replace the hard drive on the hard drive dock 7.
[0107] Further optimization of the function of seat 1 can be found in another embodiment of this application; please refer to that embodiment as well. Figure 14 and Figure 16 The base 1 also includes a main control board 6 and multiple expansion interfaces 9 electrically connected to the main control board 6. These expansion interfaces 9 are distributed on the outer periphery of the base 1.
[0108] In this embodiment, the expansion interfaces 9 on the base 1 are distributed on the outer periphery of the housing 11. In use, the device (such as a MAC MINI) is first placed on the heat sink, and then the peripheral cable is connected between the device and the expansion interface 9 on the base 1 that matches the interface type, thereby realizing data connection with other devices connected to the expansion interface 9.
[0109] This allows the heatsink to have an expansion connection function, enabling it to be used as an expansion dock and effectively improving the performance of the heatsink.
[0110] It should be noted that, depending on the actual usage, the storage module and expansion connection module in the above embodiments can be combined and arranged in the heat dissipation base, so that the heat dissipation base has both expansion connection function and data storage function, thereby further improving the performance of the heat dissipation base.
[0111] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
