Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laptop computer technology, specifically to a metal casing for laptop computers. Background Technology

[0002] A laptop computer is a modern portable assistive device consisting of internal electronic components and an external casing.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application number 202221841405.4 discloses a plastic laptop casing, comprising a laptop casing body, anti-collision corners, Velcro, a cable management sleeve, and a folding handle. The laptop casing body includes a base layer, an aging-resistant layer, and a flame-retardant layer; the aging-resistant layer is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the base layer; the flame-retardant layer is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the aging-resistant layer. The anti-collision corners include anti-collision plates and anti-collision springs; one end of the anti-collision spring is fixed to one corner of the laptop casing body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the anti-collision plate. The cable management sleeve is installed on one side of the laptop casing body. The folding handle includes a first connecting block, a soft handle, and a second connecting block; the first connecting block is installed on the upper end of the laptop casing body; the second connecting block is installed on the upper end of the laptop casing body; one end of the soft handle is connected to the first connecting block, and the other end is connected to the second connecting block. This invention is aging-resistant, flame-retardant, and prevents damage from corner impacts; the handle is foldable.

[0004] In the current field of laptop technology, plastic is commonly used as the casing material. However, as the integration of internal electronic components in laptops continues to increase, the heat generated by these components increases dramatically during prolonged high-load operation, leading to a significant acceleration in the overall heat generation rate of the device. The inherently low thermal conductivity of plastic greatly hinders the effective conduction and dissipation of internal heat, causing heat to accumulate around the electronic components and severely impacting heat dissipation efficiency. This decline in heat dissipation not only leads to reduced performance of electronic components but may also cause system instability, shortened lifespan, and other problems, ultimately adversely affecting the overall performance and user experience of the laptop.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a metal casing for laptops. Utility Model Content

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, three sets of heat dissipation fins are fixedly welded to the bottom of the heat dissipation part in the lower shell, and these fins are vortex-shaped.

[0016] The shape of the heat sink facilitates the transfer of heat to the heat sink and increases the contact area with the air, further ensuring the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal casing for a laptop computer, including an upper casing 1 and a lower casing 2 that is fitted to its bottom side. Both the upper casing 1 and the lower casing 2 are made of copper alloy. A heat dissipation part 21 is provided on the bottom plate of the lower casing 2 in a filling pattern. A heat dissipation fin 24 is provided at the bottom of the heat dissipation part 21, and the heat dissipation fin 24 is made of brass.

[0028] The metal casing for laptops, through the upper casing 1 structure and the lower casing 2 on its bottom side, can ensure the heat conduction effect for integrated electronic components by utilizing the overall material. The heat dissipation part 21 and heat sink 24 at the bottom of the lower casing 2 can increase the airflow rate and the contact area between it and the air, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect from the side. This solves the problem of low thermal conductivity and poor heat dissipation effect of existing plastic computer casings.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] The top plate of the upper housing 1 is provided with a keyboard slot 11 that is compatible with the specifications of the keyboard assembly; wherein, the keyboard slot 11 is provided to facilitate the assembly of the upper housing 1 onto the corresponding integrated electronic assembly.

[0031] The bottom edge of the upper housing 1 is provided with four sets of corresponding locking slots 12, and the top of the lower housing 2 is fixedly installed with four sets of corresponding locking posts 23, and the lower housing 2 is locked in the locking slots 12 on the bottom side of the upper housing 1 through the locking posts 23; wherein, the setting of the locking slots 12 and the locking posts 23 facilitates the locking of the lower housing 2 on the bottom side of the upper housing 1, and performs corresponding assembly to ensure the assembly effect.

[0032] The locking post 23 is a frustoconical post and is made of plastic. The frustoconical shape of the locking post 23 facilitates the locking effect between the lower housing 2 and the upper housing 1 during the locking process. The force contraction of the locking post 23 further ensures the locking effect and guarantees the limiting effect.

[0033] The bottom of the heat dissipation part 21 in the lower housing 2 is fixedly welded with three sets of heat dissipation fins 24 arranged in a row, and 25 are vortex-shaped fins; the shape of the heat dissipation fins 24 facilitates the conduction of heat to the heat dissipation fins 24 and increases the contact area with the air to further ensure the heat dissipation effect.

[0034] Four sets of platform-shaped support feet 22 are attached to the four corners of the bottom of the lower housing 2. The bottom side of the support feet 22 is located 1 cm below the heat sink 24, and the retaining posts 23 are made of plastic. The support feet 22 are designed to support the lower housing 2 and the integrated electronic components inside, ensuring the stability of the assembled laptop.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the device is required to work, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are snapped onto the top and bottom sides of the integrated electronic components. During operation, the heat is conducted to the entire shell by utilizing the material settings, and the heat sink 24 increases the contact area between the heat sink and the air, ensuring efficient heat dissipation of the integrated electronic components inside and ensuring the normal use of the laptop.
