[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This utility model provides an all-in-one computer 1000, such as... Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the all-in-one computer 1000 includes an all-in-one body 10 and an external camera 20. The all-in-one body 10 includes a display screen 11, and a first metal contact 1111 is provided on the back 111 of the display screen 11. The external camera 20 includes a housing 21, which includes a mounting part 211 and a protrusion 212. The mounting part 211 is magnetically connected to the back 111 of the display screen 11, and the protrusion 212 is disposed on the side of the mounting part 211 facing the display screen 11. The protrusion 212 is used for... The mounting part 211 has a camera module 22 installed. On one side of the mounting part 211 with the protrusion 212, a second metal contact 2111 is provided, which is electrically connected to the camera module 22. When the mounting part 211 is magnetically connected to the display screen 11, the second metal contact 2111 aligns with the first metal contact 1111, allowing the external camera 20 to be electrically connected to the all-in-one machine body 10. At this time, the protrusion 212 abuts against the top surface of the display screen 11, limiting the housing 21. This application solves the problem of poor connection stability in all-in-one machines with external cameras 20 in the prior art. The external camera 20 of this all-in-one machine 1000 has a larger contact area when connected to the display screen 11, resulting in a more stable connection.

[0036] Specifically, the first metal contact 1111 and the second metal contact 2111 are aligned and connected, allowing the external camera 20 to connect to the main body 10 of the all-in-one machine. The external camera 20 is detachably connected via a magnetic connection. The housing 21 of the external camera 20 has a mounting portion 211 and a protrusion 212. After the external camera 20 is connected to the display screen 11, the protrusion 212 contacts the top surface of the display screen 11, and the mounting portion 211 contacts the back surface 111 of the display screen 11. The mounting portion 211 increases the contact area between the external camera 20 and the main body 10 of the all-in-one machine. Furthermore, because the mounting portion 211 is limited by the display screen 11, it also restricts the rotation of the protrusion 212, preventing the external camera 20 from shifting. This effectively improves the connection stability and enhances the user experience.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that in this application, the external camera 20 and the display screen 11 are electrically connected via a first metal contact 1111 and a second metal contact 2111. This design has significant advantages over the existing technology that uses a USB data cable for connection. It eliminates the need for a USB data cable, making the installation of the external camera 20 more convenient and the operation steps simpler. It also makes the desktop look neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] In this application, the second metal contact 2111 can be a combination of a metal spring and a metal contact, or it can be a combination of a spring pin and a metal contact, which is not limited here.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 6 In one embodiment, the all-in-one computer 1000 further includes a positioning structure 30, which includes a positioning plug 31 and a positioning slot 32. The positioning plug 31 is disposed on one of the mounting part 211 and the display screen 11, and the positioning slot 32 is disposed on the other of the mounting part 211 and the display screen 11. The positioning plug 31 is accommodated in the positioning slot 32 so that the first metal contact 1111 and the second metal contact 2111 are aligned. With this configuration, the positioning plug 31 and the positioning slot 32 cooperate to limit the relative position of the external camera 20 on the all-in-one computer body 10, improving connection stability; on the other hand, it can quickly achieve the alignment and connection of the first metal contact 1111 and the second metal contact 2111 during the installation of the external camera 20, improving the installation efficiency of the external camera 20.

[0040] In one embodiment, two positioning blocks 31 and two positioning slots 32 are provided. The two positioning blocks 31 are disposed on the mounting part 211, and the first metal contact 1111 is located between the two positioning blocks 31. The two positioning slots 32 are disposed on the back of the display screen 111. The positions of the two positioning slots 32 and the two positioning blocks 31 correspond one-to-one. With this arrangement, the force is more balanced after the external camera 20 is connected, which can further improve the reliability of the connection between the external camera 20 and the main body 10 of the all-in-one machine.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, the positioning plug 31 includes a head end 311 and a body end 312. The body end 312 is connected to the mounting portion 211, and its outer contour is adapted to the positioning slot 32. The head end 311 is connected to the side of the body end 312 away from the mounting portion 211, and its outer contour gradually narrows in the direction away from the body end 312. This gradual narrowing of the head end 311 makes the head end 311 smaller than the opening size of the positioning slot 32, which helps the positioning plug 31 to be inserted more smoothly into the positioning slot 32, quickly fixing the external camera 20.

[0042] In one embodiment, the head end 311 has a first arcuate surface 3111, and the slot of the positioning slot 32 has a second arcuate surface 321, so that when the positioning block 31 is inserted into the positioning slot 32, the first arcuate surface 3111 can abut against the second arcuate surface 321. Thus, during the insertion of the positioning block 31 into the positioning slot 32, the first arcuate surface 3111 and the second arcuate surface 321 cooperate to guide and calibrate the head end 311 into the positioning slot 32, avoiding installation difficulties caused by improper user operation methods, such as angular deviations when installing the external camera 20. This makes the entire installation process simpler and more convenient, and allows for faster fixed connection of the external camera 20.

[0043] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the all-in-one computer 1000 further includes a magnetic attachment assembly 40, which includes a first magnet 41 and a second magnet (not shown in the figure). The first magnet 41 is disposed on one of the housing 21 and the display screen 11, and the second magnet is disposed on the other of the housing 21 and the display screen 11. The first magnet 41 is magnetically connected to the second magnet. Exemplarily, both the first magnet 41 and the second magnet are magnets. The first magnet 41 is disposed at the mounting portion 211, and the second magnet is disposed on the back surface 111 of the display screen 11.

[0044] Preferably, two first magnets 41 and two second magnets are provided. The two first magnets 41 are disposed on the mounting part 211, and the first metal contact 1111 is located between the two first magnets 41. The two second magnets are disposed on the back 111 of the display screen 11, and the positions of the two second magnets correspond one-to-one with the two first magnets 41. With this arrangement, the first magnets 41 are provided on both sides of the first metal contact 1111. When the two first magnets 41 are magnetically connected to the two second magnets respectively, the magnetic attraction force on both sides of the first metal contact 1111 ensures that the first metal contact 1111 is in close contact with the second metal contact 2111, preventing disconnection. On the other hand, it makes the force on the external camera 20 more balanced after connection, preventing the external camera 20 from shaking or shifting, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0045] In one embodiment, the mounting part 211 is provided with a mounting groove, and the first magnet 41 is embedded in the mounting groove to fix the first magnet 41; similarly, the fixing method of the second magnet is the same as that of the first magnet 41, and will not be repeated here.

[0046] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the mounting portion 211 is further provided with a hole structure 2112 on the side facing away from the display screen 11. The hole structure 2112 includes a plurality of through holes 2112a, which communicate with the interior of the housing 21. The plurality of through holes 2112a are arranged at intervals. With this arrangement, during the operation of the camera module 22, the hole structure 2112 can be used for heat dissipation inside the housing 21, ensuring the reliability of the external camera 20.

[0047] In one embodiment, the external camera 20 is also equipped with a microphone module. In this case, the hole structure 2112 can also serve as a sound channel, thereby enabling the microphone module to collect external sound.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, the protrusion 212 has an opening 2121 on the side away from the mounting portion 211. The protrusion 212 has a hollow structure inside, and the camera module 22 is installed in the hollow structure, with the camera of the camera module 22 exposed at the opening 2121. This arrangement enables the camera module 22 to be installed and fixed, and since the camera module 22 is located inside the protrusion 212, the overall appearance of the external camera 20 is neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0049] Reference Figure 5In one embodiment, the external camera 20 further includes a light-transmitting element 23, which covers the opening 2121. With this configuration, the camera module 22 can capture external images through the light-transmitting element 23, and the light-transmitting element 23 also protects the camera module 22 from scratches. Specifically, the light-transmitting element 23 can be a lens.

[0050] In one embodiment, a receiving groove 2122 is provided on the side of the protrusion 212 away from the mounting part 211, with an opening 2121 located at the bottom of the receiving groove 2122, and the light-transmitting element 23 is engaged in the receiving groove 2122. This arrangement allows the receiving groove 2122 to limit and fix the light-transmitting element 23, ensuring a secure connection between the light-transmitting element 23 and the protrusion 212, and also improves assembly efficiency, allowing the light-transmitting element 23 to be installed more quickly at the preset position.

[0051] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
