Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electronic product stands, and in particular to a tablet computer stand in a storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, more and more businesses are using tablets to display various information. Sometimes, these tablets need to be mounted on storage boxes to suit specific usage scenarios, such as cash registers or self-service kiosks with built-in boxes. Since tablets are usually fixed to a stand, and the stand is typically tilted and fixed to the mounting surface on the top of the storage box for anti-theft purposes, welding the bottom of the stand to the top plate of the box increases processing costs and affects the flatness of the top surface, resulting in an unsightly appearance. Directly locking it to the top plate also presents issues with the flatness of the top surface. Furthermore, since the top plate of the box is merely a flat plate with limited thickness, it has poor load-bearing capacity. When bearing the weight of the tablet on top of the stand, the top plate is prone to deformation, especially when the tablet rotates. The stand will also experience torsional forces, and an unstable bottom support can easily lead to insufficient support from the stand and deformation of the top plate of the box.

[0003] Furthermore, because the tablet is attached to the top of the stand, the tablet's power cord or charging cable hangs outside the stand. Especially when the stand rotates the tablet, the power cord or charging cable will be pulled or tangled, causing inconvenience and a messy, unsightly appearance. This case arose from this issue.
