Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a portable computer. Background Technology

[0002] In this era of booming information technology, portable computers have become an indispensable tool in modern life and work, with their versatility and portability leading to their widespread application in various fields. As the performance of portable computers continues to improve and their usage scenarios become increasingly diverse, end consumers are placing higher and higher demands on the user experience, appearance design, and privacy protection of portable computers.

[0003] Meanwhile, as people pursue larger display areas for portable computers, screen sizes are getting bigger and bigger. However, due to portability considerations, the screen size of portable computers is limited. Therefore, pursuing an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio has become the current development trend. But to meet the needs of electronic communication and entertainment in modern life and work, portable computers are usually equipped with cameras and microphones. Currently, portable computers generally place cameras on the four bezels of the screen and microphones on the bottom bezel. This arrangement occupies screen space, increases the area occupied by the bezels, and to some extent reduces the utilization rate of the screen display space, which is not conducive to making full use of the screen and achieving a high screen-to-body ratio.

[0004] In the existing technology, in order to balance the camera function of portable computers and high screen-to-body ratio display, the following solutions exist: 1. Embed the camera inside the screen, but this method still leaves a lens in the screen area, affecting the aesthetics; 2. Set the camera in a pop-up manner behind the display panel, so that the camera automatically rises when needed. Although this method can achieve full-screen display of portable computers, it increases the thickness of the display screen, which does not conform to the current trend of ultra-thin portable computers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable computer in which the camera module is placed on the display screen between the two display screens, so as to achieve a high screen ratio without affecting the aesthetics and ultra-thin design of the portable computer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a portable computer, including a host, a display screen, two display screen hinges connecting the host and the display screen, and a camera module mounted on the display screen and located between the two display screen hinges. The display screen includes a bottom shell, two outer hinge seats located at both ends of the lower edge of the bottom shell, an inner hinge seat located in the middle of the lower edge of the bottom shell, outer hinge covers respectively covering the two outer hinge seats, and an inner hinge cover covering the inner hinge seat. The two display screen hinges are respectively located between the two outer hinge seats and the inner hinge seats, and the camera module is mounted on the inner hinge seat.

[0007] The camera module includes a camera hinge, an upper bracket mounted on the camera hinge, a lower bracket mounted on the upper bracket, and a camera unit sandwiched between the upper bracket and the lower bracket. The camera hinge has a fixed end and a rotating end rotatably connected to the fixed end. The fixed end is fixedly mounted on an inner hinge seat, and the upper bracket is fixedly mounted on the rotating end.

[0008] The fixed end is provided with two through holes, and two first screws pass through the two through holes and are fixedly installed on the inner rotating shaft seat; the rotating end is provided with two threaded holes, and the upper bracket is long and narrow, with two mounting holes at one end corresponding to the two threaded holes of the rotating end, and two second screws pass through the two mounting holes and are threaded into the two threaded holes.

[0009] The lower bracket and camera unit are both elongated. The upper bracket has a first camera hole in the middle. The camera unit has a camera. The inner rotating cover has a second camera hole. The camera takes pictures externally through the first camera hole and the second camera hole.

[0010] The camera is located in the middle of the inner pivot of the display screen.

[0011] The upper bracket has two welding holes located on both sides of the first camera hole. The lower bracket has two welding posts corresponding to the two welding holes. The camera unit has two fixing holes corresponding to the two welding posts. The two welding posts pass through the fixing holes and welding holes and are welded together, thereby realizing the thermal fusion connection between the upper bracket and the lower bracket and clamping and fixing the camera unit between the upper bracket and the lower bracket.

[0012] The camera unit is also equipped with two microphones located on both sides of the camera. The upper bracket has two first microphone holes corresponding to the two microphones, and the inner rotating cover has two second microphone holes corresponding to the two microphones. The two microphones pick up sound from the outside through the two first microphone holes and the two second microphone holes respectively.

[0013] The upper bracket is also provided with an outwardly protruding angle adjustment part. The inner rotating shaft cover is provided with a groove corresponding to the angle adjustment part. The angle adjustment part is exposed in the groove. Rotating the angle adjustment part rotates in the groove, thereby driving the rotating end of the camera shaft to rotate relative to the fixed end, thereby realizing the adjustment of the working angle of the camera.

[0014] The groove divides the inner rotating shaft cover into two parts. The inner rotating shaft seat has an adjustment groove corresponding to the angle manual adjustment part. The angle manual adjustment part can be exposed in the adjustment groove and can rotate in the adjustment groove. The angle manual adjustment part can abut against the bottom of the adjustment groove, thereby limiting the rotation of the angle manual adjustment part.

[0015] The angle adjustment part is shaped like half a gear, and the adjustment groove includes a first groove on one side of the inner rotating shaft seat and a second groove on the other side of the inner rotating shaft seat. The first groove, the groove and the second groove are connected in sequence to form the rotation channel of the angle adjustment part.
