Therefore, a tablet computer stand is often used to place the tablet computer for use. Since a tablet computer stand needs to be carried in addition to the tablet computer, it is not portable in daily life. Secondly, the existing tablet computer stand has an "open smile" problem in the closed state, which is difficult to meet the needs of consumers. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The utility model aims at providing a portable tablet computer which improves the convenience of using the tablet computer and the stability of the closed state of the stand, and improves the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the technical scheme of a portable tablet computer, which comprises: a tablet computer body, and a stand rotatably installed on one side of the tablet computer body through at least two spaced-apart pivot assemblies, so that when the pivot assemblies are rotated to a 0° position, the stand is parallel to and attached to the tablet computer body. The pivot assemblies comprise: a base fixedly installed on the tablet computer body and a sliding block connected to one end of the stand. The base comprises parallel and spaced-apart first and second base plates. The outer side surface of the sliding block between the first and second base plates and the inner side surface of each of the first and second base plates are slidably connected through a set of arc-shaped grooves and arc-shaped protrusions.

[0005] A strip-shaped guide groove extending along the length direction is formed on the inner side surface of each of the first and second base plates and located on the side of the sliding block opposite to the stand. Two ends of a sliding pin are respectively slidably embedded in the strip-shaped guide groove. A torsion pin is installed at the other end of the sliding block away from the stand. The torsion pin and the sliding pin are connected by a plurality of torsion pieces arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the torsion pin and the sliding pin. One end of the torsion piece is fitted on the outside of the torsion pin and is interference-fitted with the torsion pin. A first magnetic block is embedded and installed at the end of the sliding block away from the torsion pin. A second magnetic block is provided on the tablet computer body and cooperates with the first magnetic block.

[0006] The following are further improvements to the above technical solution:

[0007] 1. In the above solution, at least two mounting slots for embedding the hinge assembly are provided on one side surface of the tablet computer body.

[0008] 2. In the above scheme, the second magnetic block is disposed in the mounting groove. When the bracket is at the 0° position, the slider of the rotating shaft assembly is fully embedded in the mounting groove and the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block are attracted and contacted.

[0009] 3. In the above solution, a cover plate that cooperates with the bracket is attached to one side surface of the tablet body where the mounting groove is opened. The cover plate is flush with the bracket at the 0° position and together they cover the mounting groove.

[0010] 4. In the above scheme, at least one inwardly extending rib is provided on the inner surface of each of the first substrate and the second substrate, and the two ribs facing each other are connected by overlapping or welding.

[0011] 5. In the above scheme, one end of the strip guide groove is located close to the arc-shaped groove or arc-shaped protrusion, and the other end of the strip guide groove extends away from the arc-shaped groove or arc-shaped protrusion.

[0012] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] This utility model relates to a portable tablet computer, in which the stand is rotatably mounted on one side of the tablet computer body via at least two spaced-apart pivot assemblies. The outer surface of the slider of each pivot assembly slides against the inner surfaces of the first and second substrates via a set of arc-shaped grooves and arc-shaped protrusions. On the inner surfaces of both the first and second substrates, on the side of the slider opposite to the stand, there is a strip-shaped guide groove extending along its length. Both ends of a sliding pin are slidably embedded in the strip-shaped guide groove. A torque pin is mounted on the other end of the slider away from the stand. Several torque pins are connected between the torque pin, which is tightly connected to the slider at both ends, and the sliding pin. Torque plates are arranged axially in sequence with the shaft and sliding pin. One end of the torque plate is fitted onto the outside of the torque pin and has an interference fit with the torque pin. A first magnetic block is embedded at the end of the slider away from the torque pin. A second magnetic block that cooperates with the first magnetic block is provided on the tablet body. By rotating and switching the built-in stand in different usage scenarios, the convenience of using the tablet is improved. Moreover, through the cooperation between the torque plate and the torque pin, a stable torque can be provided during the support process of the stand being rotated out to ensure the stability of the stand's support function during repeated use.

[0026] The tablet computer body 100 has a cover plate 400 attached to one side surface where the mounting groove 101 is provided. The cover plate 400 is flush with the bracket 200 at the 0° position and together they cover the mounting groove 101.

[0027] Each of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4 has at least one inwardly extending rib 7 on its inner surface, and the two ribs 7 facing each other are connected by overlapping.

[0028] Example 2: A portable tablet computer includes: a tablet computer body 100, and a support 200 rotatably mounted on one side of the tablet computer body 100 via at least two spaced-apart pivot assemblies 300, such that when the pivot assembly 300 rotates to a 0° position, the support 200 is parallel and in contact with the tablet computer body 100. The pivot assembly 300 includes: a base 1 fixedly mounted on the tablet computer body 100 and a slider 2 connected at one end to the support 200. The base 1 includes a first substrate 3 and a second substrate 4 that are parallel and spaced apart from each other. The outer side of the slider 2, which is disposed between the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4, slides with the inner surface of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4 through a set of arc-shaped grooves 51 and arc-shaped protrusions 52.

[0029] On the inner surface of each of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4, and on the side of the slider 2 opposite to the support 200, there is a strip-shaped guide groove 81 extending along its length. Both ends of a sliding pin 82 are slidably embedded in the strip-shaped guide groove 81. A torque pin 9 is installed at the other end of the slider 2 away from the support 200. Between the torque pin 9 and the sliding pin 82, which are tightly connected at both ends to the slider 2, there are several torque plates 10 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the torque pin 9 and the sliding pin 82. One end of the torque plate 10 is fitted onto the outside of the torque pin 9 and is press-fitted with the torque pin 9. A first magnetic block 16 is embedded at the end of the slider 2 away from the torque pin 9. A second magnetic block 17 that cooperates with the first magnetic block 16 is provided on the tablet computer body 100.

[0030] The inner surfaces of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4 are each provided with at least one inwardly extending rib 7, and two ribs 7 facing each other are welded together; one end of the strip guide groove 81 is provided close to the arc groove 51 or the arc protrusion 52, and the other end of the strip guide groove 81 extends away from the arc groove 51 or the arc protrusion 52.

[0031] The bracket 200 is a metal bracket; one end of the bracket 200 is connected to the slider 2 through a set of connecting grooves 61 and connecting protrusions 62, the connecting protrusions 62 are embedded in the connecting grooves 61 and fixedly connected by screws; the other end of the bracket 200 is used to make contact with the supporting plane.

[0032] When assembling the shaft assembly:

[0033] First, position and assemble the torque pin and the slider through the flat fit;

[0034] Next, press one end of the torque plate into the torque pin mounted on the slider, and at the same time assemble the other end of the torque plate into the sliding pin.

[0035] Next, the slider is screwed in and the sliding pin is installed into the base. At this time, the first substrate and the second substrate of the base are in an independent state.

[0036] Finally, the base is connected as a whole by screwing and welding the ribs on the first and second substrates together.

[0037] The assembled hinge assembly is inserted into the mounting slot of the tablet body, and then the slider of the hinge assembly is connected to the bracket. The bracket drives the slider of the hinge assembly to rotate so that the bracket can be opened to support the tablet body or closed to fit the tablet body.

[0038] When the stand and the slider that rotates with the stand are at the 0° position, the first magnetic block on the slider is attracted to the second magnetic block in the mounting groove, thereby ensuring a complete fit between the stand and the tablet body without warping.

[0039] As the stand and the slider that rotates with the stand rotate from 0° to a certain angle to support the tablet body, the torque pin that is interference-fitted with the torque plate rotates within the holding area of ​​the torque plate to generate torque, thereby providing stable support for the stand at any angle.

[0040] When using the aforementioned portable tablet computer, the built-in stand allows for rotational switching in different usage scenarios, improving the ease of use of the tablet computer. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the torque plate and the torque pin, stable torque can be provided during the support process of the stand being rotated out to ensure the stability of the stand's support function during repeated use. It can also improve the stability of the stand in the closed state, avoiding the "smiling" problem and enhancing the user experience.
