Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computers, and more particularly to a high-strength notebook computer structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth in demand for mobile office work, ultra-thin laptops have become the mainstream in the market. However, existing weight reduction solutions, which simply reduce the thickness of components or the number of structural parts, often result in insufficient overall structural strength. This manifests as reduced rigidity in the keyboard area, weakened torsional resistance, loose connections, and increased risk of drops. In particular, the traditional discrete point-fixing method at the connection between the motherboard and the keyboard bracket is difficult to evenly distribute keyboard input force and occupies additional assembly space. Adding reinforcing ribs, on the other hand, increases the overall thickness. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new laptop structural design that can maintain the product's thinness and lightness while ensuring structural strength. Utility Model Content

The lower surface of the reinforcing ribs is in zero-gap contact with the surface of the clearance area to form a continuous surface support structure.

[0005] Furthermore, the height surface design tolerance of the air-avoidance zone is 0 mm.

[0006] Furthermore, the clearance area is enclosed by a rectangular support frame, with support arms extending inward from the middle of the top and bottom sides of the rectangular support frame, and the ends of the arms do not intersect, so as to divide the clearance area into two interconnected regions.

[0007] Furthermore, the reinforcing rib is a continuous protrusion provided by the keyboard bracket corresponding to the rectangular support frame, and the continuous protrusion abuts against the rectangular support frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the rectangular support frame is provided with a plurality of positioning holes, and the continuous protrusion is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​parts corresponding to the positioning holes, and the positioning holes snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​parts.

[0009] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​component is a stepped boss, and the snap-fit ​​component and the positioning hole are interference fit.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0030] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0031] To address the technical problem of insufficient structural strength in existing laptops, this application provides a high-strength laptop structure. By reducing weight through a recessed design, and by ensuring zero-gap contact between reinforcing ribs and the recessed area, the assembled laptop becomes a single unit in the motherboard area, thereby increasing the overall strength of the machine.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a high-strength laptop computer structure, including: a motherboard 1 and a keyboard 2. The back of the motherboard 1 is provided with a clearance area 11, and the keyboard 2 is provided with a keyboard bracket 21. The keyboard bracket 21 is provided with a reinforcing rib 211 at the position corresponding to the clearance area 11. The lower surface of the reinforcing rib 211 is in zero-gap contact with the surface of the clearance area 11 to form a continuous surface support structure.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, a clearance area 11 is machined in a specific area on the back of the motherboard 1. The surface of this area is flat and without any protrusions. An integrally formed reinforcing rib 211 is provided on the keyboard bracket 21 at the position corresponding to the clearance area 11, and its lower surface is machined to be a plane that completely fits the surface of the clearance area 11. During assembly, the reinforcing rib 211 of the keyboard bracket 21 is precisely aligned with the clearance area 11 of the motherboard 1 and fixed by clips or micro screws to ensure that there is no gap between the contact surfaces of the two. After assembly, the tight contact between the reinforcing rib 211 and the clearance area 11 forms a continuous surface support structure covering the entire clearance area 11.

[0034] Through the above methods, the continuous surface support structure evenly distributes the input force of the keyboard 2 to the motherboard 1, avoiding local stress concentration and significantly improving the overall machine's resistance to bending and torsion; the zero-gap contact design eliminates the need to reserve traditional assembly tolerance space, reducing the thickness occupied by non-functional areas; and the combination of the clearance area 11 and the reinforcing rib 211 ensures strength while reducing weight by removing redundant materials.

[0035] In some embodiments, the height surface design tolerance of the clearance zone 11 is 0 mm.

[0036] Specifically, the clearance area 11 is machined using a precision grinding process to ensure that its surface height tolerance is strictly controlled within 0mm. The target area on the back of the motherboard 1 is milled in layers using a CNC machine tool, followed by chemical mechanical polishing, ultimately forming a flat surface of the clearance area 11 with no height deviation. The lower surface of the reinforcing rib 211 of the keyboard bracket 21 is simultaneously mirror-polished to achieve a high-precision planar match with the surface of the clearance area 11. The zero-tolerance surface eliminates microscopic gaps, allowing for a stress-free, rigid contact between the reinforcing rib 211 and the clearance area 11.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the airspace 11 is enclosed by a rectangular support frame 12. The top and bottom sides of the rectangular support frame 12 have support arms extending inward from the middle and their ends do not intersect, so as to divide the airspace 11 into two interconnected areas.

[0038] Specifically, the rectangular frame and the support arm form a multi-level mechanical transmission path, distributing the input load of the keyboard 2 to multiple points on the motherboard 1; the symmetrical layout of the support arm transforms the force on the clearance zone 11 into a symmetrically distributed compression-tension composite load, reducing the risk of local fracture.

[0039] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the reinforcing rib 211 is a continuous protrusion provided by the keyboard bracket 21 corresponding to the rectangular support frame 12, and the continuous protrusion abuts against the rectangular support frame 12.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, continuous protrusions matching the contour of the rectangular support frame 12 are machined on the surface of the keyboard bracket 21 using stamping or injection molding processes. The direction of the protrusions is perpendicular to the plane of the keyboard 2. The contact surface of the continuous protrusions is machined into an arc surface or plane that completely fits the outer surface of the rectangular support frame 12. During assembly, the position of the continuous protrusions and the rectangular support frame 12 is calibrated by the system, and the two are tightly abutted by buckles. After abutting, the continuous protrusions form a closed-loop support band along the extension direction of the rectangular support frame 12, covering the entire circumference of the support frame, thereby eliminating the stress abrupt change points of traditional intermittent support and improving the overall bending stiffness.

[0041] like Figure 3-4As shown, the rectangular support frame 12 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 121, and a plurality of snap-fit ​​pieces 2111 corresponding to the positioning holes 121 are protruding on the continuous protrusions, and the positioning holes 121 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​pieces 2111.

[0042] Specifically, cylindrical positioning holes 121 that penetrate the structure are machined at equal intervals along the edge of the rectangular support frame 12. A snap-fit ​​part 2111 is injection molded at the corresponding position of the continuous protrusion. The snap-fit ​​part 2111 cooperates with the guide opening of the positioning hole 121 to guide the continuous protrusion to be precisely aligned with the support frame.

[0043] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 2111 is a stepped boss, and the snap-fit ​​part 2111 and the positioning hole 121 are interference fit.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, a multi-level stepped boss is machined on the continuous raised surface, with the diameter of each step increasing progressively to form an axially gradual structure. At the same time, the maximum diameter of the boss is designed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the positioning hole 121. During assembly, vertical pressure is applied by a press to compress and deform the stepped boss step by step and embed it into the positioning hole 121. Each step of the boss forms multi-point contact with the inner wall of the positioning hole 121. After the last step is fully embedded, a radial expansion force is generated to achieve self-locking.

[0045] In some embodiments, the rectangular support frame 12 is a flexible conductive structure.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, conductive silicone or metal fiber reinforced composite material is used as the material for the rectangular support frame 12. It is molded into a preset geometric structure through a molding process. At the same time, serpentine conductive metal wires or printed conductive lines are embedded inside the support frame to ensure overall conductivity.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the high-strength laptop structure also includes a shell 3, which is snapped into the keyboard 2, and a connecting piece 4 is provided on the front of the motherboard 1, which abuts against the shell 3.

[0048] Specifically, an annular groove is machined on the inner wall of the outer casing 3, and an elastic latch is set at the corresponding position on the edge of the keyboard 2. The latch is embedded in the groove to achieve screwless fixing. A columnar abutment 4 is injection molded on the front edge of the motherboard 1. The top of the abutment 4 is machined into a spherical structure that matches the curvature of the inner surface of the outer casing 3. The height of the abutment 4 is slightly greater than the theoretical distance between the motherboard 1 and the outer casing 3. Assembly tolerances are eliminated by material compression deformation.

[0049] In some embodiments, the abutment 44 is attached to the locking screw of the heat dissipation module on the motherboard 1, and the abutment 4 is made of conductive rubber.

[0050] Specifically, the conductive rubber is pre-injected into a cylindrical structure with a central through hole, and the inner hole thread matches the thread parameters of the heat dissipation module locking screw. When assembling the heat dissipation module, the conductive rubber abutment 4 is screwed into the root of the locking screw and fixed to the screw shaft by thread engagement. At the same time, the inherent conductivity of the conductive rubber is utilized to form a conductive path with the ground layer of the motherboard 1 through the locking screw.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the front of the motherboard 1 is also provided with several support points 13, which abut against the outer shell 3 to support the outer shell 3.

[0052] Specifically, support points 13 are set along the outer periphery of the chip location on the motherboard 1, and a micro universal joint structure is set at the bottom of the support points 13, allowing the top of the support points 13 to adaptively adjust the contact height within a range of ±5°. Secondly, the top surface of the support points 13 can be textured to increase the coefficient of friction with the contact surface with the inner wall of the outer casing 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the high-strength laptop structure also includes a display module, which is rotatably connected to the integral structure formed by the snap-on keyboard 2 and the outer casing 3.

[0054] Specifically, an integrated hinge cavity is set at the edge of the overall structure formed by the snap-fit ​​of the keyboard 2 and the outer shell 3, and a multi-axis linkage damping hinge assembly is installed in the cavity; a U-shaped slot matching the hinge assembly is machined at the bottom of the display module frame, and the hinge and the slot are rotated through a precision bearing; a bidirectional limiting ratchet mechanism is set inside the hinge, so that the display module can stop in segments within the range of 0°-180°.
