Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and more particularly to a laptop computer back cover and a laptop computer. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern technology, laptops have become indispensable electronic devices for people's work and life, playing a particularly important role for those who need to work on the go. For these individuals, convenience is a crucial attribute. Currently, laptops and stands are separate entities, failing to adequately balance portability and comfort, making it inconvenient to carry both together. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to provide a computer back cover and a laptop computer, with the goal of improving the convenience of laptop computer stand storage.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application discloses a laptop computer back cover, including a housing and a support assembly. The housing includes a bottom surface, a first receiving groove formed on the bottom surface, and a second receiving groove formed on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove. Along a first direction, the bottom surface includes a first edge and a second edge disposed opposite to each other. The support assembly includes a support plate and a support frame, both of which are rotatably disposed on the bottom surface. The rotation axes of the support plate and the support frame are parallel, with the rotation axis of the support plate closer to the first edge and the rotation axis of the support frame closer to the second edge. The first receiving groove is used to receive the support plate, and the second receiving groove is used to receive the support frame. A limiting block is provided on the support plate, which is used to cooperate with the support frame to form a support structure. The first direction is along the width direction of the bottom surface.

[0005] In the above solution, the laptop's back cover includes a housing and a support assembly. A first receiving groove is formed on the bottom surface of the housing, and a second receiving groove is formed on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove. The support plate and support frame of the support assembly are rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the housing, with the first receiving groove accommodating the support plate and the second receiving groove accommodating the support frame. This arrangement allows the support assembly to be used simply by rotating it; the support frame, through the engagement of the limiting block on the support plate, forms a support structure to provide force to the laptop, eliminating the need for an external stand. When not in use, the support frame is housed in the second receiving groove, and the support plate is housed in the first receiving groove. Since the first receiving groove is located on the bottom surface of the housing, and the second receiving groove is located within the first receiving groove, the two receiving grooves effectively reduce the storage space, making it easier to house the support frame and support plate. This effectively improves the portability of the laptop and stand while providing a support structure.

[0006] In some embodiments, a slot is provided on the bottom surface, and a first engaging member is provided in the slot, with the slot located near the second edge. A second engaging member is provided on the surface of the support plate facing the first receiving groove, and the second engaging member is used to engage with the first engaging member in the slot. By providing a slot and a first engaging member on the bottom surface, and a corresponding second engaging member on the support plate, the support plate can be stably mounted on the housing through the engagement of the second engaging member with the first engaging member in the slot, reducing the possibility of it falling off when not in use and improving the stability of the support plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the housing includes a first side surface, and a bottom surface is connected to the first side surface via a second edge. A mounting groove is formed on the first side surface, and a latching slot communicates with the mounting groove. The mounting groove includes a first wall surface facing the opening of the mounting groove. The laptop computer rear housing also includes a latching assembly, which includes a pressing member, an elastic member, and a connecting plate. The pressing member is disposed in the mounting groove, one end of the elastic member is connected to the pressing member, and the other end is used to abut against the first wall surface. The connecting plate connects the first latching member and the pressing member. By providing the latching assembly, when the pressing member is pressed, the connecting plate pushes the first latching member to move, causing the second latching member to disengage from the first latching member, making it more convenient to use the support plate. After the second latching member disengages, the elastic member abuts against and is compressed against the first wall surface, generating a rebound force that causes the pressing member to drive the first latching member back to its original position via the connecting plate. This effectively improves the ease of use of the support plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic element includes a first spring and a second spring, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the pressing element. The first wall surface includes a first portion and a second portion. The first spring is used to abut against the first portion, and the second spring is used to abut against the second portion. By configuring the elastic element as a first spring and a second spring, respectively disposed at the first and second portions, the elastic force is evenly distributed. Furthermore, the springs have good stability and a long service life, which can extend the service life of the parts.

[0009] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​assembly further includes a first stop plate and a second stop plate. Along a second direction, the slot has a second wall surface and a third wall surface disposed opposite to each other, with the first stop plate disposed on the second wall surface and the second stop plate disposed on the third wall surface. Along a first direction, the slot has a fourth wall surface facing the pressing member, and a first gap space for movement of the first snap-fit ​​member is formed between the first stop plate and the fourth wall surface. A second gap space for movement of the first snap-fit ​​member is formed between the second stop plate and the fourth wall surface. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The provision of the first and second stop plates reduces non-working displacement of the first snap-fit ​​member and other components of the snap-fit ​​assembly in the first direction, improving the stability of the first snap-fit ​​member and the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0010] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​assembly further includes a third stop plate, and the snap-fit ​​groove includes a second bottom surface facing the bottom. The third stop plate is connected between the first stop plate and the second stop plate, and a connecting plate is disposed between the third stop plate and the second bottom surface. By connecting the third stop plate between the first and second stop plates and disposing the connecting plate between the third stop plate and the second bottom surface, the non-working displacement of the first snap-fit ​​member and other components of the snap-fit ​​assembly can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the first snap-fit ​​member and the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0011] In some embodiments, the limiting block includes a plurality of first limiting blocks and a plurality of second limiting blocks. Along a first direction, the plurality of first limiting blocks are arranged at intervals, and the plurality of second limiting blocks are arranged at intervals. Along a second direction, the plurality of first limiting blocks and the plurality of second limiting blocks are arranged opposite to each other. By providing a plurality of first limiting blocks and a plurality of second limiting blocks, the support plate can form different support angles through contact support between the support frame and different limiting blocks, effectively improving the functionality of the support plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second receiving slot includes a first slot, a second slot, and a third slot. The support frame includes a first rod, a second rod, and a third rod, with the third rod connected between the first rod and the second rod. The end of the first rod away from the third rod is disposed in the first slot, and the first rod is rotatably connected to the housing. The end of the second rod away from the third rod is disposed in the second slot, and the second rod is rotatably connected to the housing. The first slot is used to receive a portion of the first rod and a first limiting block, the second slot is used to receive a portion of the second rod and a second limiting block, and the third slot is used to receive the third rod and a portion of the first rod and a portion of the second rod. By designing the second receiving slot and the support frame, the entire structure of the support frame can be integrated within a limited housing, reducing space occupation and improving space utilization.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support plate has multiple heat dissipation holes. Adding heat dissipation holes to the support plate can improve the heat dissipation performance of the laptop during operation.

[0014] Secondly, this application also proposes a laptop computer including the laptop computer back cover of any embodiment in the first aspect.

[0019] 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 described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this application, but not all embodiments.

[0020] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0021] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0022] The technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0023] In one aspect, this application proposes a laptop computer back cover, including a housing 1 and a support assembly 2. Please refer to... Figure 1 The housing 1 includes a bottom surface 11, with a first receiving groove 111 formed on the bottom surface 11, and a second receiving groove 112 formed on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 111. Along the first direction X, the bottom surface 11 includes a first edge 113 and a second edge 114 disposed opposite to each other. The support assembly 2 includes a support plate 21 and a support frame 22, both rotatably mounted on the bottom surface 11. The rotation axes of the support plate 21 and the support frame 22 are parallel, with the rotation axis of the support plate 21 closer to the first edge 113 and the rotation axis of the support frame 22 closer to the second edge 114. The first receiving groove 111 is used to receive the support plate 21, and the second receiving groove 112 is used to receive the support frame 22. A limiting block 211 is provided on the support plate 21, which cooperates with the support frame 22 to form a support structure. The first direction X is along the width direction of the bottom surface 11.

[0024] In the above solution, the laptop's back cover includes a housing 1 and a support assembly 2. A first receiving groove 111 is formed on the bottom surface 11 of the housing 1, and a second receiving groove 112 is formed on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 111. The support plate 21 and the support frame 22 in the support assembly 2 are rotatably mounted on the bottom surface 11 of the housing 1, with the first receiving groove 111 receiving the support plate 21 and the second receiving groove 112 receiving the support frame 22. This arrangement allows the support assembly 2 to be used simply by rotating it, and the support frame 22 can cooperate with the support plate 21 through the limiting block 211 on the support plate 21 to form a support structure for supporting the laptop, eliminating the need for an external bracket. When not in use, the support frame 22 is housed in the second receiving slot 112, and the support plate 21 is housed in the first receiving slot 111. Since the first receiving slot 111 is located on the bottom surface 11 of the housing 1 and the second receiving slot 112 is located inside the first receiving slot 111, the two receiving slots effectively reduce the storage space, making it easier to house the support frame 22 and the support plate 21. This effectively improves the portability of the laptop and stand while providing a support structure.

[0025] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The bottom surface 11 has a slot 115, and the slot 115 is provided with a first engaging member 116, and the slot 115 is located near the second edge 114. The surface of the support plate 21 facing the first receiving groove 111 is provided with a second engaging member 212, which is used to engage with the first engaging member 116 in the slot 115. By providing the slot 115 and the first engaging member 116 on the bottom surface 11, and the second engaging member 212 being provided at a corresponding position on the support plate 21, the support plate 21 can be stably mounted on the housing 1 through the second engaging member 212 engaging with the first engaging member 116 in the slot 115, thereby reducing the possibility of falling off when not in use and improving the stability of the support plate 21.

[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The housing 1 includes a first side surface 12, and a bottom surface 11 connected to the first side surface 12 via a second edge 114. The first side surface 12 has a mounting groove 121, and a slot 115 communicates with the mounting groove 121. The mounting groove 121 includes a first wall surface 1211, which faces the opening of the mounting groove 121. The laptop computer rear housing also includes a snap-fit ​​assembly 3, which includes a pressing member 31, an elastic member 32, and a connecting plate 33. The pressing member 31 is disposed in the mounting groove 121, and one end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the pressing member 31, while the other end abuts against the first wall surface 1211. The connecting plate 33 connects the first snap-fit ​​member 116 and the pressing member 31. With the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, when the pressing member 31 is pressed, the connecting plate 33 pushes the first snap-fit ​​member 116 to move, causing the second snap-fit ​​member 212 to disengage from the first snap-fit ​​member 116, making it more convenient to use the support plate 21. After the second latching member 212 disengages, the elastic member 32 abuts against and is compressed against the first wall surface 1211. The resulting rebound force causes the pressing member 31 to drive the first latching member 116 back to its original position via the connecting plate 33. The first latching member 116 may be provided with an inclined surface 1161, which can contact the second latching member 212. After the support plate 21 is used, pressing the support plate 21 by hand causes the second latching member 212 of the support plate 21 to contact the inclined surface 1161 of the first latching member 116, generating a pushing force that causes the first latching member 116 to displace. The second latching member 212 then engages with the first latching member 116 in conjunction with the latching assembly 3. This effectively improves the ease of use of the support plate 21.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The elastic element 32 includes a first spring 321 and a second spring 322, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the pressing element 31. The first wall surface 1211 includes a first portion 1212 and a second portion 1213. The first spring 321 is used to abut against the first portion 1212, and the second spring 322 is used to abut against the second portion 1213. By configuring the elastic element 32 as the first spring 321 and the second spring 322, respectively disposed at the first portion 1212 and the second portion 1213, the elastic force is evenly distributed. Furthermore, the springs have good stability and a long service life, which can extend the service life of the parts.

[0028] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 also includes a first stop plate 341 and a second stop plate 342. Along the second direction Y, the slot 115 has a second wall surface 1151 and a third wall surface 1152 disposed opposite to each other. The first stop plate 341 is disposed on the second wall surface 1151, and the second stop plate 342 is disposed on the third wall surface 1152. Along the first direction X, the slot 115 has a fourth wall surface 1153 facing the pressing member 31. A first gap space 101 for the movement of the first snap-fit ​​member 116 is formed between the first stop plate 341 and the fourth wall surface 1153. A second gap space 102 for the movement of the first snap-fit ​​member 116 is formed between the second stop plate 342 and the fourth wall surface 1153. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. The first stop plate 341 and the second stop plate 342 can reduce the non-working displacement of the first snap-fit ​​member 116 and other components of the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 in the first direction X, thereby improving the stability of the first snap-fit ​​member 116 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 3.

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 also includes a third stop plate 343, and the snap-fit ​​groove 115 includes a second bottom surface 1154 facing the bottom surface 11. The third stop plate 343 is connected between the first stop plate 341 and the second stop plate 342, and the connecting plate 33 is disposed between the third stop plate 343 and the second bottom surface 1154. By connecting the third stop plate 343 between the first stop plate 341 and the second stop plate 342, and by disposing the connecting plate 33 between the third stop plate 343 and the second bottom surface 1154, the non-working displacement of the first snap-fit ​​member 116 and other components of the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the first snap-fit ​​member 116 and the snap-fit ​​assembly 3.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The limiting block 211 includes multiple first limiting blocks 2111 and multiple second limiting blocks 2112. Along the first direction X, the multiple first limiting blocks 2111 are arranged at intervals, and the multiple second limiting blocks 2112 are arranged at intervals. Along the second direction Y, the multiple first limiting blocks 2111 and the multiple second limiting blocks 2112 are arranged opposite to each other. By setting multiple first limiting blocks 2111 and multiple second limiting blocks 2112, the support plate 21 can form different support angles through contact support between the support frame 22 and different limiting blocks 211, effectively improving the functionality of the support plate 21.

[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The second receiving slot 112 includes a first slot 1121, a second slot 1122, and a third slot 1123. The support frame 22 includes a first rod 221, a second rod 222, and a third rod 223, with the third rod 223 connecting the first rod 221 and the second rod 222. The end of the first rod 221 away from the third rod 223 is disposed in the first slot 1121, and the first rod 221 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The end of the second rod 222 away from the third rod 223 is disposed in the second slot 1122, and the second rod 222 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The first slot 1121 is used to receive a portion of the first rod 221 and the first limiting block 2111, the second slot 1122 is used to receive a portion of the second rod 222 and the second limiting block 2112, and the third slot 1123 is used to receive the third rod 223 and a portion of the first rod 221 and a portion of the second rod 222. By designing the second receiving slot 112 and the support frame 22, the entire structure of the support frame 22 can be integrated within the limited housing 1, reducing the space occupied and improving space utilization.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The laptop's back cover may also include a first hinge 4, and the support assembly 2 may also include a second hinge 23. Along the first direction X, the housing 1 includes a second side 13 opposite to the first side 12. A first groove 14 is formed between the second side 13 and the bottom surface 11 of the housing 1. The first hinge 4 is rotatably disposed within the first groove 14, and the first hinge 4 does not protrude from the first side 12 or the bottom surface 11. The support plate 21 is connected to the first hinge 4. The second hinge 23 includes a first shaft 231 and a second shaft 232, which are disposed within a second receiving groove 112, and the first shaft 231 and the second shaft 232 do not protrude from the bottom surface 11. The support frame 22 is rotatably connected to the second hinge 23. By designing the hinge positions so that the first hinge 4 does not protrude from the first side 12 or the bottom surface 11, and the first shaft 231 and the second shaft 232 do not protrude from the bottom surface 11, space utilization can be effectively improved.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The support plate 21 has multiple heat dissipation holes 213. The heat dissipation holes 213 on the support plate 21 can improve the heat dissipation performance of the laptop during operation.
