Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of notebook computer technology, and in particular to a protective glass cover and a notebook computer. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional laptop touch cover glass is roughly rectangular with a flush bottom edge. Due to screen-to-body ratio requirements, this design minimizes the width of the bottom bezel, necessitating the placement of the touchpad outside the bezel. In this case, the touchpad is typically housed within the A-side cover and connected to the touch cover via a flexible printed circuit board (SensorFPC).

[0003] This design results in the touchpad and the flexible sensor circuit board not being fixed to the same carrier, making the flexible sensor circuit board susceptible to damage when the laptop is shaken or opened / closed. Furthermore, the narrow width of the bottom bezel glass also leads to smaller line widths and spacing on the flexible sensor circuit board, impacting production yield. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a protective glass cover and a laptop computer to solve the problem that the bottom bezel glass of the existing laptop computer protective glass cover is too narrow.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a protective glass cover is provided, wherein the protective glass cover includes: a protective glass cover body, a lower frame glass is provided at the lower part of the protective glass cover body, the lower frame glass forming a downwardly protruding boss; a sensor flexible circuit board, mounted on the boss of the lower frame glass; and a touch panel, connected to the sensor flexible circuit board, the touch panel being mounted on the lower frame glass through the sensor flexible circuit board.

[0006] Preferably, the boss is formed in the middle of the lower frame glass along its length, and the length of the boss is less than the length of the lower frame glass.

[0007] Preferably, the lower frame glass has a first platform surface and a second platform surface formed on both sides of the protrusion in the length direction, the first platform surface and the second platform surface are flush, and the lengths of the first platform surface and the second platform surface are equal.

[0008] Preferably, the angle between the first side of the boss portion along its length and the first platform surface is α, where 100°≤α≤160°; and the angle between the second side of the boss portion along its length and the second platform surface is β, where 100°≤β≤160°.

[0009] Preferably, the width of the protective glass cover body is a first dimension, the length of the lower frame glass is a second dimension, and the ratio of the first dimension to the second dimension is A, where 0.68 ≤ A ≤ 0.75.

[0010] Preferably, the length of the first platform surface is a third dimension, and the ratio of the third dimension to the first dimension is B, where 0.26 ≤ B ≤ 0.36; the vertical distance between the platform surface of the boss portion and the first platform surface is a fourth dimension, and the ratio of the fourth dimension to the third dimension is C, where 0.15 ≤ C ≤ 0.25.

[0011] Preferably, the first end of the flexible circuit board of the sensor is bonded to the protrusion of the lower frame glass, and the second end of the flexible circuit board of the sensor is bonded to the touch panel.

[0012] Preferably, the second end of the flexible circuit board of the sensor can extend out of the protrusion, and the flexible circuit board of the sensor can be bent so that the second end of the flexible circuit board can overlap with the lower frame glass.

[0013] Preferably, the first side of the touch panel is bonded to the first end of the flexible circuit board of the sensor, and when the flexible circuit board of the sensor is bent, the second side of the touch panel is bonded to the second end of the flexible circuit board of the sensor; or the second side of the touch panel is bonded to the lower frame glass.

[0014] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a laptop computer is provided, wherein the laptop computer includes a protective glass cover as described above.

[0015] This utility model discloses a protective glass cover and a laptop computer, wherein the lower part of the protective glass cover body is provided with a lower frame glass. The lower frame glass has a downwardly protruding boss. A flexible circuit board for sensors is mounted on the boss of the lower frame glass. A touchpad is connected to the flexible circuit board for sensors, and the touchpad is mounted on the lower frame glass via the flexible circuit board for sensors. This arrangement allows the touchpad and the flexible circuit board for sensors to be mounted on the same carrier, preventing damage to the flexible circuit board for sensors when the laptop is vibrated or opened / closed. Furthermore, the boss on the lower frame glass increases the wiring range of the flexible circuit board for sensors, improving the yield rate of the laptop.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a protective glass cover is provided according to a first aspect of the present invention. The protective glass cover includes a protective glass cover body 1, a sensor flexible circuit board 2, and a touch panel 3.

[0034] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 5 The specific structure of the aforementioned components of the protective glass cover and the connection relationship of the aforementioned components are described in detail.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a lower bezel glass 10 may be provided at the lower part of the protective glass cover body 1. The lower bezel glass 10 may have a downwardly protruding boss 100. The sensor flexible circuit board 2 may be mounted on the boss 100 of the lower bezel glass 10. The touchpad 3 may be connected to the sensor flexible circuit board 2. The touchpad 3 can be mounted on the lower bezel glass 10 via the sensor flexible circuit board 2. This arrangement allows the touchpad 3 and the sensor flexible circuit board 2 to be mounted on the same carrier, preventing damage to the sensor flexible circuit board 2 when the laptop is vibrated or opened and closed. In addition, the boss 100 formed on the lower bezel glass 10 increases the wiring range of the sensor flexible circuit board 2, improving the yield rate of the laptop.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the shape of the protective glass cover body 1 can be approximated as a rectangular plate with a boss formed on the bottom edge. A lower frame glass 10 is formed on the bottom edge of the protective glass cover body 1, and the length of the lower frame glass 10 is equal to the length of the protective glass cover body 1. The boss portion 100 can be formed in the middle of the lower frame glass 10 along its length to facilitate the mounting of the sensor flexible circuit board 2 and the touchpad 3. The length of the boss portion 100 can be less than the length of the lower frame glass 10.

[0037] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower frame glass 10 may have a first platform surface 101 and a second platform surface 102 formed on both sides of the protrusion portion 100 along its length. The first platform surface 101 may be flush with the second platform surface 102. Preferably, the length of the first platform surface 101 may be equal to the length of the second platform surface 102, making the shape of the protective glass cover body 1 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] Preferred, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the boss portion 100 can be an isosceles trapezoid, that is, the two sides of the boss portion 100 along its length can be hypotenuses. Specifically, the first side of the boss portion 100 along its length (which can be, for example,...) Figure 1 The angle between the left side of the boss portion 100 shown and the first platform surface 101 can be α (i.e., the first included angle 41), where 100°≤α≤160°. The second side of the boss portion 100 in the length direction (can be as follows) Figure 1 The angle between the right side of the boss portion 100 and the second platform surface 102 can be β (i.e., the second included angle 42), where 100°≤β≤160°. This configuration makes the structure of the boss portion 100 more stable and improves the appearance of the protective glass cover body 1. Preferably, the first side of the boss portion 100 in the length direction can transition to the first platform surface 101 with an arc, and the second side of the boss portion 100 in the length direction can transition to the second platform surface 102 with an arc.

[0039] However, this is not the only limitation. The isosceles trapezoidal cross-section of the boss portion 100 is only a preferred embodiment. As long as the function of increasing the width of the lower frame glass 10 can be achieved, the boss portion 100 can also be configured in other ways. For example, the two sides of the boss portion 100 in the length direction are perpendicular to the first platform surface 101 and the second platform surface 102.

[0040] Preferred, such as Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the width of the protective glass cover body 1 can be a first dimension 51. The length of the lower frame glass 10 can be a second dimension 52. The ratio of the first dimension 51 to the second dimension 52 can be A, where 0.68 ≤ A ≤ 0.75.

[0041] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the first platform surface 101 can be a third dimension 53. The ratio of the third dimension 53 to the first dimension 51 can be B, where 0.26 ≤ B ≤ 0.36. Since the length of the second platform surface 102 is equal to the length of the first platform surface 101, the ratio of the length of the second platform surface 102 to the width of the protective glass cover body 1 is also B. The platform surface of the boss portion 100 (i.e., as shown) Figure 5 The vertical distance between the lower surface of the boss portion 100 and the first platform surface 101 is the fourth dimension 54, and the ratio of the fourth dimension 54 to the third dimension 53 is C, where 0.15 ≤ C ≤ 0.25. This arrangement makes the size design of the protective glass cover more reasonable, thereby improving the structural strength of the main body 1 of the protective glass cover.

[0042] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first end of the sensor flexible circuit board 2 (which can be as follows) Figure 4 The upper end (as shown) can be bonded to the protrusion 100 of the lower frame glass 10. The second end of the sensor flexible circuit board 2 (can be as shown) Figure 4 The lower end (as shown) can be bonded to the touchpad 3. Thus, the touchpad 3 can be mounted on the protective glass cover body 1 via the sensor flexible circuit board 2.

[0043] Furthermore, preferably, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, when the sensor flexible circuit board 2 is relatively long, when the first end of the sensor flexible circuit board 2 is bonded to the boss portion 100, the second end of the sensor flexible circuit board 2 can extend out of the boss portion 100. In this case, the sensor flexible circuit board 2 can be bent along the middle so that the second end of the flexible circuit board can overlap with the lower frame glass 10.

[0044] Further optimized, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first side of the touchpad 3 (which can be, for example, ...) Figure 2 The right side shown can be bonded to the second end of the sensor flexible circuit board 2. When the sensor flexible circuit board 2 is bent, the second side of the touchpad 3 (which can be as shown) can be... Figure 2 The left side shown can be bonded to the first end of the sensor flexible circuit board 2; or, if the sensor flexible circuit board 2 is bent to a large degree, the second side of the touchpad 3 can be directly bonded to the lower frame glass 10.

[0045] However, this is not the only option. The fact that the second end of the flexible circuit board 2 can extend out of the boss portion 100 is only a preferred embodiment. The flexible circuit board 2 can also be configured in other ways. For example, if the size of the flexible circuit board 2 is short, the flexible circuit board 2 does not need to be bent, and the second end of the flexible circuit board 2 can overlap with the lower frame glass 10. In this case, the touch panel 3 can be directly bonded to the lower frame glass 10.

[0046] Furthermore, according to a second aspect of the present invention, a laptop computer is provided, the laptop computer including the protective glass cover as described above.

[0047] During use, the lower bezel glass 10 has a downwardly protruding boss 100, and the flexible circuit board 2 of the sensor is mounted on the boss 100 of the lower bezel glass 10. The touchpad 3 is mounted on the lower bezel glass 10 via the flexible circuit board 2, so that the touchpad 3 and the flexible circuit board 2 are mounted on the same carrier, avoiding damage to the flexible circuit board 2 when the laptop is vibrated or opened and closed. In addition, the boss 100 on the lower bezel glass 10 increases the wiring range of the flexible circuit board 2, thereby effectively improving the yield rate of the laptop.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto.
