Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precision instrument processing, and in particular to an automatic flip-top notebook casing. Background Technology
[0002] The hinge principle of a laptop refers to the connection between the screen and the keyboard base. This design allows the screen to rotate within a certain angle, allowing users to adjust the viewing angle as needed. The hinge structure is crucial for the portability and comfort of a laptop. The basic principle of a hinge structure typically consists of several components, including the hinge itself, hinge links, and a fixed end. The hinge is the core component, allowing the screen to rotate around an axis. The hinge links connect two or more hinges, ensuring they work together. The fixed end mounts the hinge to the laptop's casing.
[0003] However, existing laptop cases often encounter the following problems during use:
[0004] (1) When traditional laptops need to flip the screen, users usually need to use both hands to operate, one hand to stabilize the laptop and the other hand to open the screen, which is not convenient. Moreover, if the flipping force is not controlled properly, the hinge joint of the screen will be greatly worn.
[0005] (2) When the laptop is closed, there is a gap between the screen and the keyboard. In particular, if the screen casing is accidentally touched and the gap is enlarged, dust and dirt can easily enter the laptop and accumulate on the keyboard, affecting the performance and lifespan of the internal components. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic flip-top laptop shell to effectively solve the problem mentioned in the background art of the inconvenience of operating the existing laptop while holding it steady with one hand and opening the screen with the other.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] An automatic flip-top laptop casing, comprising:
[0009] A screen housing, wherein an embedding cavity is provided on one side of the screen housing;
[0010] The screen housing has two hinge shells, which are located at the bottom of the screen housing.
[0011] The reset hinge mechanism comprises two sets, which are respectively installed on one side of the two hinge shells; the reset hinge mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a damping rotating shaft, a torsion spring, and a hinge plate;
[0012] The rotating shaft passes through the left side of the hinged shell;
[0013] The damping shaft is mounted on the left end of the shaft rod;
[0014] The torsion spring is sleeved on the shaft of the rotating shaft;
[0015] One end of the hinge plate is connected to the damping shaft.
[0016] Also includes:
[0017] A limiting protrusion is mounted on one side of the torsion spring;
[0018] Mounting holes are provided on the hinge plate.
[0019] Also includes:
[0020] A keyboard housing, located below the screen housing;
[0021] The mounting protrusion is located on one side of the keyboard housing;
[0022] The mounting groove is formed on the mounting protrusion;
[0023] A fixing rod, which is longitudinally inserted into the mounting groove;
[0024] A pivot button is mounted on the body of the fixed rod.
[0025] One end of the torsion spring is connected to one side of the hinge plate.
[0026] The other end of the torsion spring is connected to one end of the damping shaft.
[0027] The keyboard housing is hinged to the hinge plate.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0029] (1) The screen housing designed in this utility model achieves automatic opening through an automatic reset hinge mechanism. When the screen housing is closed, the user only needs to manually turn the hinge knob that blocks the screen housing, and the screen housing will spring up and flip open when the obstruction is removed, allowing the screen to be opened with one hand, thus improving the convenience of operation. At the same time, the damping hinge added in this utility model can provide smooth resistance when the screen is flipped, reducing the wear and tear on the hinge structure caused by rapid flipping and extending the service life of the laptop.
[0030] (2) When the laptop is closed, block the hinge knob of the screen casing to ensure that the screen and keyboard fit tightly, reduce the intrusion of dust and dirt, and provide better protection during carrying. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0040] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic flip-top laptop casing includes: a screen housing 1, a hinge housing 2, a reset hinge mechanism 3, a pivot rod 31, a damping pivot 32, a torsion spring 33, and a hinge plate 34. The screen housing 1 has an embedded cavity on one side. Two hinge housings 2 are provided. The hinge housings 2 are designed to accommodate the hinge mechanism, ensuring that the screen housing 1 can flip smoothly. The hinge housing 2 located at the bottom of the screen housing 1 provides the necessary support and rotation points, allowing the screen housing 1 to flip around these points. Two hinge shells 2 are located at the bottom of the screen housing 1. Two sets of reset hinge mechanisms 3 are provided, each set corresponding to one side of one of the two hinge shells 2. Each reset hinge mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, a damping rotating shaft 32, a torsion spring 33, and a hinge plate 34. The rotating shaft 31 passes through the left side of the hinge shell 2. The damping rotating shaft 32 is installed at the left end of the rotating shaft 31. The torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the shaft of the rotating shaft 31. One end of the torsion spring 33 is connected to one side of the hinge plate 34, and the other end of the torsion spring 33 is connected to one end of the damping rotating shaft 32. The damping rotating shaft 32 ensures smooth rotation and reduces wear.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 3-5 As shown, one end of the hinge plate 34 is connected to the damping shaft 32, and the limiting protrusion 4 is installed on one side of the torsion spring 33; the mounting hole 5 is opened on the hinge plate 34. The mounting hole 5 is designed to install and fix the keyboard housing 6 and the hinge plate 34. The keyboard housing 6 is located below the screen housing 1 and is hinged to the hinge plate 34. With this connection method, when the keyboard housing 6 is placed on the desktop, the keyboard housing 6 can become a relatively stationary fixed fulcrum, allowing the screen housing 1 to be flipped relative to it. The mounting protrusion 7 is provided on one side of the keyboard housing 6; the mounting groove 8 is opened on the mounting protrusion 7; the fixing rod 9 is longitudinally inserted into the mounting groove 8; the pivot knob 10 is installed on the body of the fixing rod 9. As a manual control point, the user can lock or release the flipping of the screen housing 1 by rotating the pivot knob 10, providing convenience for user interaction.
[0042] In practical applications, thermoplastic carbon fiber composite materials can be used to manufacture the hinge shell 2 and keyboard shell 6, ensuring structural strength and durability while maintaining a relatively light weight. The pivot rod 31 and damping pivot 32 can be made of high-strength metal materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to provide sufficient strength and corrosion resistance. The torsion spring 33 and hinge plate 34 can be made of suitable spring steel materials depending on the required torque and elasticity.
[0043] It should be noted that, in the case of the automatic flip-top laptop casing designed in this utility model, when in use, the screen casing 1 is manually flipped downwards. When the screen casing 1 comes into contact with the keyboard casing 6, the screen casing 1 rotates, driving the damping shaft 32. The damping shaft 32 rotates, driving the other end of the torsion spring 33. The other end of the torsion spring 33 is twisted, generating torque, i.e., rotational force. Manually turning the hinge knob 10 90 degrees will prevent the screen casing 1 from flipping back to its original position. When it is necessary to open, the hinge knob 10 is turned back. The screen casing 1, no longer obstructed by the hinge knob 10, will flip open due to the rotational force of the torsion spring 33. Due to the resistance of the damping shaft 32, the opening process of the screen casing 1 is relatively slow to avoid excessive wear on the hinge rod 31.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
