[0036] See Figures 1 to 6 The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This utility model provides an embodiment of a portable box-type all-in-one machine, and its structure and working principle will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the portable box-type all-in-one machine of this embodiment includes a chassis body 100, a display module 200, a keyboard assembly 300, and a handle 400.

[0039] The top of the chassis body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 101, in which the display module 200 is fixedly installed. The chassis body 100 includes a bottom plate and four surrounding side plates, which are connected by detachable corner connectors to achieve good heat dissipation.

[0040] As shown in the figure, the keyboard assembly 300 is rotatably connected to one side of the chassis body 100 via a rotating connection mechanism 310. The rotating connection mechanism 310 is a multi-section damped hinge, and its maximum unfolding angle is limited to between 120° and 150°, which can meet the usage requirements while preventing damage caused by excessive unfolding.

[0041] The keyboard assembly 300 has a slidable locking member 341 on the distal side wall of its outer shell 320. The front end of the locking member 341 has a locking part 342 with an inclined guide surface 343. The locking member 341 is slidably disposed in a fixed seat 344, which is installed in the outer shell 320 by a fixing member. The front end of the fixed seat 344 has a guide groove 346 for slidingly guiding the locking member, and the rear end of the locking member 341 slides in cooperation with the guide groove 346. The end of the fixed seat 344 has an elastic reset device 347, which can be an elastic element made of elastic material such as a compression spring or a rubber block.

[0042] As shown in the figure, the positioning component is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove 101, including a positioning protrusion 130 that mates with the engaging portion 342. The positioning component includes a detachable mounting base plate 131, a fixing hole 132 on the base plate, and a tenon groove at the end of the engaging portion for mates with the positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion 130 is fixed to the countersunk hole in the side wall of the mounting groove 101 through the mounting base plate 131, which simplifies the groove processing. The positioning component can be processed separately as an accessory. The countersunk hole allows the fixing component and the base plate to protrude, avoiding interference with the keyboard assembly.

[0043] When the keyboard assembly 300 is in the closed state, the engaging part 342 and the positioning protrusion 130 form a locking engagement, thereby achieving a stable lock and preventing accidental opening caused by misoperation or external factors.

[0044] It may also include a handle 400, the two ends of which are slidably set in the slide grooves on the side wall of the chassis body 100. When it is needed to carry it, it can be easily pulled out, and when it is not in use, it is hidden in the slide grooves without affecting the overall appearance.

[0045] In some embodiments, the connector 351 is an integrally formed connecting boss that is inserted into the connecting groove 348 on the back of the locking member 341. This structure provides high connection strength and can transmit a large thrust. The support member 350 is provided with a mounting hole 352. The bottom of the mounting hole 352 of the support member 350 is connected to the locking member through a fastener passing through the connector. The fastener can be a screw or bolt, etc. The mounting hole facilitates the installation of the fastener and the buffer pad.

[0046] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the outer casing 320 is provided with a mounting groove 354, and the support member 350 is fitted into the mounting groove 354 with a clearance fit. The bottom of the mounting groove 354 is provided with a through hole 355 for the connector 351 to pass through with a clearance fit. The mounting groove can be used to accommodate the support member so that it is not fully exposed, making the connection between the support member 350 and the outer casing 320 more stable and ensuring the neatness of the appearance. The clearance fit can form a movement limit control for the locking member. Of course, the limit can also be controlled by the clearance between the through hole 355 and the connector 351, or by the cooperation of both. Alternatively, a boss for limiting can be provided at the bottom of the locking member. The limiting boss is inserted into the limiting hole on the outer casing with a clearance fit. The movement stroke is limited by the clearance between the limiting boss and the limiting hole.

[0047] In addition, a buffer pad 356 is provided at the bottom of the support component 350. The buffer pad 356 protrudes from the surface of the outer shell 320. The buffer pad 356 not only serves as an operating component for opening the locking structure, facilitating the user to unlock the keyboard assembly 300, but also provides support for the keyboard shell when the keyboard assembly 300 is opened, preventing the keyboard assembly 300 from shaking and improving the stability of the device during use. Specifically, the buffer pad 356 is provided inside the mounting hole of the support component 350, and the buffer pad 356 protrudes from the surface of the outer shell 320.

[0048] At least one side panel is equipped with an interface assembly, including a waterproof data interface and a magnetic charging interface. The outside of the interface is equipped with a flip-up protective cover, which can effectively protect the interface from dust, moisture and other intrusions.

[0049] Using this invention, when the all-in-one computer needs to be used, pushing the cushioning pad causes the locking member to retract, opening the keyboard assembly 300. During the opening process, the engaging portion 342 of the locking member 341 moves along the positioning protrusion 130 until it is completely disengaged. At this time, the supporting member 350, driven by the connecting member 351, provides stable support for the keyboard assembly 300. The cushioning pad 356 contacts the desktop, reducing impact and shaking.

[0050] After use, flip the keyboard assembly 300 to the closed position. Under the action of the elastic reset device 347, the locking piece 341 automatically aligns with the positioning protrusion 130 and engages there, achieving a secure lock. With the keyboard assembly open or closed, the all-in-one machine has a clean overall appearance with no protruding parts, making it easy to carry and store.

[0051] This invention features a highly reliable locking structure: through the ingenious cooperation of the locking element 341 and the positioning protrusion 130, a secure lock is achieved when the keyboard assembly 300 is stored. The engaging portion 342 of the locking element 341 precisely matches the positioning protrusion 130, ensuring that the keyboard assembly 300 will not be accidentally opened due to shaking or external interference during transport, effectively protecting the screen and keyboard assembly 300 and preventing hinge loosening and screen damage. During portability, the locking structure of this invention ensures the safety and reliability of the screen and keyboard, reduces damage to the device caused by collisions, vibrations, etc., extends the device's lifespan, and improves work efficiency. In the open state, there are no significant local protrusions on the outer edges of the housing and casing. In the free state, the locking element 341 is flush with the side wall at the far end of the outer casing 320, ensuring the neat appearance of the device and ease of use, avoiding inconvenience to the user or interference with device placement caused by protrusions.

[0052] The support component 350 not only serves as an operating component for opening the locking structure, making it convenient for users to unlock the keyboard assembly 300, but also provides support for the keyboard housing when the keyboard assembly 300 is opened, preventing the keyboard assembly 300 from shaking and improving the stability of the device during use.

[0053] The portable case-type all-in-one machine provided by this utility model solves the problems of insufficient protection performance of existing portable computer equipment when used outdoors and easy opening of the keyboard component 300 through innovative design and reasonable structural layout. It has the advantages of reliable locking structure, good protection performance, neat appearance and convenient use. It is suitable for outdoor workers to use in harsh environments, and can effectively improve work efficiency and reduce equipment procurement costs.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations of this utility model fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
