[0002] The present application relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for use of electronic products, and in particular to a computer stand. Background Art

[0003] Laptops, tablets, and other electronic products have become essential for daily office use, and users use them more and more frequently. However, different users and application scenarios require adjustments, particularly rotational adjustments. Another issue is that existing brackets are bulky and inconvenient to carry. Large brackets can only meet relatively fixed requirements. However, with technological advancements, remote mobile work is becoming increasingly convenient, and the demand for mobile work is increasing year by year. Mobile work typically involves the use of laptops or tablets, creating a more pressing need for computer brackets. Portability is a fundamental requirement, and existing brackets simply cannot meet this need.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Explanation of the reference numerals: anti-slip silicone 1 for the upper left bracket, upper left bracket 2, short unilateral knurled shaft 3, automatic spring for the support rod 4, spring fixing screw 5, support rod 6, automatic folding spring for the gear plate 7, gear lever 8, anti-slip silicone cover 9 for the support rod, anti-slip silicone 10 for the upper right bracket, upper right bracket 11, bracket damping tube 12, long unilateral knurled shaft 13, center connecting piece 14, lower right bracket 15, anti-slip silicone for the bottom of the lower right bracket 16, anti-slip silicone for the surface of the lower right bracket 17, baffle rod 18, baffle rod damping tube 19, baffle rod silicone cover 20, anti-slip silicone for the surface of the lower left bracket 21, lower left bracket 22 and anti-slip silicone for the bottom of the lower bracket 23.

[0027] Figure 1 is an exploded view of a computer stand. An embodiment of a computer stand specifically includes an upper left stand anti-slip silicone 1, an upper left stand 2, a short unilateral knurled shaft 3, a support rod automatic spring 4, a spring fixing screw 5, a support rod 6, a gear plate automatic folding spring 7, a gear lever 8, a support rod anti-slip silicone sleeve 9, an upper right stand anti-slip silicone 10, an upper right stand 11, a stand damping tube 12, a long unilateral knurled shaft 13, a central connecting piece 14, a lower right stand 15, anti-slip silicone 16 on the bottom of the lower right stand, anti-slip silicone 17 on the surface of the lower right stand, a baffle rod 18, a baffle rod damping tube 19, a baffle rod silicone sleeve 20, anti-slip silicone 21 on the surface of the lower left stand, a lower left stand 22 and anti-slip silicone 23 on the bottom of the lower stand. The upper left bracket, upper right bracket, lower left bracket, and lower right bracket are all connected to the periphery of the central connecting member via damping shafts. The central connecting member can be configured to have an overall square shape. The upper left bracket, upper right bracket, lower left bracket, and lower right bracket have a rotational travel along the same side of the central connecting member, equivalent to being able to rotate only toward one side of the central connecting member. When retracted inward, they are essentially parallel and integrated. Preferably, the upper left bracket, upper right bracket, lower left bracket, and lower right bracket are of substantially equal length and made of rigid metal support arms. When retracted as a whole, as shown in FIG2 , they form a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. When the upper left bracket, upper right bracket, lower left bracket, and lower right bracket are fully extended, due to travel limitations, they essentially form a flat surface, forming a support surface for placing the computer, as shown in FIG4 . The upper left bracket and upper right bracket are identical in structure and arranged adjacent to each other. The lower left bracket and lower right bracket are identical in structure and arranged adjacent to each other. The backs of the upper left bracket and upper right bracket are provided with retractable support devices for adjusting the angle of the support surface for user convenience.

[0028] Figure 5 is a front perspective view of the computer stand in use; Figure 6 is a rear perspective view of the computer stand in use. The support device is implemented as follows: a shift lever recess is provided on the side of each upper left and right bracket, and a support lever recess is provided within the shift lever recess. A support lever is connected to the inner end of the support lever recess, which is slightly smaller than the width and length of the support lever recess and can be rotated and fully retracted into the support lever recess. A shift lever is connected to the inner end of the shift lever recess, which is slightly smaller than the width and length of the shift lever recess and can be rotated and fully retracted into the shift lever recess. The shift lever is provided with 2 to 10 shift position recesses. One end of the support lever is connected to the support lever recess via a short single-sided knurled shaft, which is also equipped with a spring for automatically releasing the support lever. One end of the shift lever is connected to the shift lever recess via a short single-sided knurled shaft, which is also equipped with a spring for automatically folding the shift plate. When the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right brackets are unfolded, they unfold along their four sides, as shown in Figure 3. Due to the automatic spring for the support lever to open and the spring for the shift plate to fold, the shift levers are automatically and completely retracted into the shift lever grooves and the support levers are automatically rotated and fully retracted into the support lever grooves. External force is required to overcome the spring forces and press the free end of the shift plate into the desired shift groove, thereby stably supporting the shift levers and enabling them to function as support arms. Simultaneously, the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right brackets are fully unfolded, so that the three brackets are essentially flat, forming a support plane. The shift levers cause the support plane to be angled relative to the desktop.

[0029] To ensure the stability of the computer when placed on a flat support surface, a baffle groove is located near the end of each lower left and right brackets. A baffle is mounted on this baffle groove via a damping shaft and can be rotated up to a perpendicular angle to the baffle groove. When needed, the baffle is rotated out of the baffle groove, overcoming the damping force, to form a support for the bottom of the computer. The baffle can be flat or cylindrical, and is generally coated with a silicone layer for anti-slip protection and to provide protection for the computer.

[0030] To further enhance stability, anti-slip silicone rubber is installed near the ends of the upper left bracket, the upper right bracket, the lower left bracket, and the lower right bracket. A layer of anti-slip silicone rubber is also installed on the top surface of the center connector. When fully extended, the anti-slip silicone rubber on the upper left bracket, the upper right bracket, the lower left bracket, the lower right bracket, and the anti-slip silicone rubber are essentially on the same plane. The anti-slip silicone rubber sleeves on the support rods and the bottoms of the lower right and lower left brackets are designed to prevent the entire computer stand from sliding during use and enhance stability.

[0031] The above disclosure is only one embodiment of the present application, and it is certainly not intended to limit the scope of the present rights. A person skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present application are still within the scope of the present application.
