Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of notebook computer accessory technology, specifically to a tilting notebook computer stand. Background Technology

[0002] With the full arrival of the information age, laptops have become a core tool for work, study, and entertainment. However, "computer-related illnesses" caused by prolonged improper use are becoming increasingly prominent. Statistics show that over 70% of people who use laptops for more than four hours a day suffer from neck discomfort, primarily due to muscle strain caused by a mismatch between screen height and line of sight. This pain point has spurred technological innovation in laptop stands.

[0003] Early phone stands primarily featured simple metal structures, providing only basic support. With the increasing popularity of ergonomic design, stand designs have gradually incorporated features such as multi-angle adjustment and height adaptation. Through damped hinges or two-way hinge technology, they achieve precise control over screen tilt angles and improve typing comfort, allowing users to freely switch between work, entertainment, and gaming modes depending on the usage scenario.

[0004] Since laptops are mostly used in university dormitories and business offices, and are limited by the width of the desktop, when a laptop is laid flat on the desktop, the laptop host will take up more desktop space, leaving very little or no space for the keyboard and mouse.

[0005] To accommodate an external mechanical keyboard and mouse on a narrow desk, using a laptop stand to raise the laptop is the best option. Adjusting the keyboard's tilt angle using a damped hinge improves typing comfort. However, most laptop stands on the market tilt the keyboard forward for easier typing, but the keyboard itself remains vertical, taking up significant desk space. Unless the laptop screen can flip 180 degrees, allowing for a larger forward tilt and essentially making the keyboard vertical, the desk space occupied is greatly reduced, freeing up more room for the keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately, most laptop screens don't open to 180 degrees. This means that even with a suitable screen angle, the keyboard tilt angle is limited to a maximum of 45 degrees, maximizing the keyboard's footprint. This makes it difficult to fit an external keyboard and mouse on a narrow desk. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the needs of many students using laptops by raising the laptop screen, reducing the space occupied by the keyboard on the desktop, allowing for free placement of external keyboards and mice, and bringing the screen viewing distance closer. This allows users to fit their laptops and external keyboards and mice on narrow desktops, increasing the freedom and utilization of desktop space in front of the laptop screen. Our design proposes a tilting laptop stand that tilts the laptop keyboard backward, aligning it with the user's line of sight, minimizing keyboard obstruction of the viewing angle. External keyboards and mice can be freely placed below the keyboard, further reducing the screen viewing distance. This design is ideal for use on narrow desktops and allows users to maintain a good posture while viewing the screen. Furthermore, the tilt feet of the support platform are adjustable via a damping hinge, allowing the laptop to be placed horizontally on the stand, making it practical and convenient.

[0007] The technical solution adopted to solve the above problems is:

[0008] A tilting laptop stand includes a support frame and a support platform connected to each other. The support frame does not occupy the space under the laptop keyboard. The support platform is used to support the laptop keyboard and can tilt the supported laptop keyboard backward to be in line with the user's line of sight. The rear side of the support platform is provided with an anti-slip structure to prevent the laptop from sliding backward. The anti-slip structure is a limit frame, a baffle, or a rubber pad.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame includes a base and a vertical support, with the vertical support located on the rear side of the base to free up space below the laptop keyboard, allowing the keyboard and mouse to be placed freely underneath.

[0010] Furthermore, the base and the vertical support are integrally fixed together to form an L-shape. The base is laid flat on the table and the supported laptop can be moved freely.

[0011] Furthermore, the base is a clamp that holds onto the edge of the table and is securely connected to the vertical support via a connector, thereby freeing up all the space under the supported laptop keyboard.

[0012] Furthermore, the support platform and the vertical support are hinged together with a damping pivot, allowing the angle of the support platform to be freely adjusted, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the laptop keyboard surface and ensuring that the laptop does not loosen after being supported.

[0013] Furthermore, the support platform is fixedly connected to the vertical support of the support frame, the support platform and the limiting frame form a V-shape, and the tilt angle of the support platform is just so that the supported laptop keyboard surface is collinear with the line of sight, thereby reducing the obstruction of the view of the keyboard below by the laptop keyboard surface.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This tilting laptop stand has the functions of raising the laptop screen, reducing the space occupied by the keyboard on the desktop, freely placing external keyboard and mouse, and bringing the screen closer to the viewing distance;

[0016] 2. By stacking the raised laptop keyboard and mouse on top of each other, the narrow desktop in front of the user can accommodate the laptop and external keyboard and mouse, increasing the freedom and utilization of the desktop space in front of the laptop screen;

[0017] 3. The backward-tilted support breaks the conventional usage habits of laptop stands, making the laptop keyboard surface aligned with the user's line of sight, greatly reducing the obstruction of the view of the keyboard below from the laptop keyboard surface. This allows the keyboard to be placed further in without having to place it in front of the laptop, making it especially suitable for use on extremely narrow desktops.

[0018] 4. The support frame can be designed as either a freestanding type or a clamp-fixed type, making it suitable for a wider range of desktop environments;

[0019] 5. This tilting laptop stand has a simple structure, is detachable and easy to store, reduces space occupation, is convenient to carry when traveling, is lightweight and compact, and is inexpensive. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of embodiments.

[0033] Example 1 :

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment proposes a standing, tilting laptop stand, including a support frame and a support platform connected by screws and nuts 3. The support frame includes a base 6 and a vertical support 4. The vertical support 4 is located behind the base 6 and also behind the laptop keyboard surface 14 to free up space under the laptop keyboard surface 14, allowing the keyboard and mouse to be placed freely underneath. The support platform is used to support the laptop keyboard surface 14 and can tilt the supported laptop keyboard surface 14 backward to be in line with the user's line of sight, greatly reducing the obstruction of the laptop keyboard surface 14 from the view of the keyboard below. This allows the keyboard to be placed further in without having to place the keyboard in front of the laptop, making it particularly suitable for use on extremely narrow desktops. A limiting frame 2 is integrally provided on the rear side of the support platform to prevent the laptop from sliding backward. The support platform and the limiting frame 2 form a V-shape.

[0035] A further implementation scheme is that a connecting block 12 is integrally provided at the lower end of the support platform. The connecting block 12 has an oblong hole 13 that cooperates with the vertical support 4 and is fixedly connected by screws and nuts 3.

[0036] A further implementation is that the base 6 and the vertical support 4 are integrally fixed together to form an L-shape. The base 6 is laid flat on the table and the supported laptop can be moved freely.

[0037] A further implementation scheme is that the upper end of the support platform and the upper end of the limiting frame 2 are both provided with horizontal support surfaces 10 for horizontally supporting the base of the laptop keyboard surface 14, which can realize horizontal support for the laptop and make it convenient for users to type on the laptop's built-in keyboard.

[0038] A further implementation scheme is that the standing tilting laptop stand is a symmetrical set of structures, including a first support platform 1, a first support frame and a second support platform 9, and a second support frame. Both the first support platform 1 and the second support platform 9 are provided with rod connection holes 11, and the first support platform 1 and the second support platform 9 are connected and fitted together by screws and connecting rods 5.

[0039] The technical advantage of this embodiment 1 is that the fixed connection of the support frame and the support platform makes the structure more stable. Based on the V-shaped support platform, the laptop keyboard surface 14 can be tilted backward, reducing the obstruction of the laptop keyboard surface 14 to the keyboard below. It can also use the integrated structure to achieve horizontal support for the laptop, simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing costs.

[0040] Example 2 :

[0041] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 This embodiment 2 proposes a hinged tilting laptop stand, including a support frame and a support platform connected by a damping pivot 17. The support frame includes a base 6 and a vertical support 4. The vertical support 4 is located on the rear side of the base 6 and also on the rear side of the laptop keyboard surface 14 to free up space below the laptop keyboard surface 14. A limit bracket 2 is provided at the rear end of the support platform. Compared with embodiment 1, the technical advantage of embodiment 2 is that, with the help of the damping pivot 17, the rotation angle of the support platform can be freely adjusted, thereby controlling the tilt angle of the supported laptop keyboard surface 14. This allows the keyboard surface 14 to tilt forward for easier typing or tilt backward so that the keyboard surface 14 is in line with the user's line of sight, reducing the obstruction of the laptop keyboard surface 14 to the keyboard below. It can be freely adjusted according to the user's eye height and distance, making it more versatile.

[0042] Example 3 :

[0043] See Figure 10 This embodiment proposes a clamp-type tilting laptop stand, including a clamp 18, a vertical support 4, and a support platform connected in sequence. The vertical support 4 is connected to the clamp 18 by screws and nuts 3. The vertical support 4 is located on the rear side of the laptop keyboard surface 14 to free up space below the laptop keyboard surface 14. The vertical support 4 and the support platform are stably connected by connectors. The clamp 18 is stably clamped to the edge of the desktop, thereby freeing up all the space on the desktop below the laptop keyboard surface 14.

[0044] Compared with Embodiment 1, the technical advantage of Embodiment 2 is that by replacing the base 6 with the clamp 18, the remaining desktop space occupied by the original base 6 is more suitable for use on shaky and unstable desktops, minimizing the space occupied by the laptop stand on the desktop, leaving enough space for the external keyboard 16 and mouse, making it more comfortable and convenient to use.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
