Description

Hybrid deformation tablet structure

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and relates to an electronic product, and more particularly to a hybrid deformable tablet structure or a deformable notebook computer structure.

Background technique

At present, the combination of laptops and tablets in the market (ie, morphing computers) mainly has the following categories: One is to turn the screen to make the laptop have the function of a tablet. The flip screen type is further divided into the following specific methods: One of the methods is to realize the appearance of the tablet by flipping the screen of the notebook computer backward by 180 degrees or more, so that the back side is in contact with the bottom surface of the base; The method is to place the screen with an outer frame, the screen can be rotated 180 degrees in the outer frame to achieve the screen flip, and the outer frame is connected to the base through the rotating shaft; and the other is that the screen and the base are connected through only one rotating shaft, through two The rotation of the vertical plane to achieve the purpose of the flat shape, this is the previous rotating screen laptop. The second type is the exchange of the tablet and the notebook through the sliding of the screen, or the function of using the physical keyboard for the tablet. There are also several ways to do this: One is to directly learn from the mode of the slider phone, and the screen slides up to expose the physical keyboard. The other is to expose the physical keyboard by sliding it back and forth, similar to the N97 mode. Another way is by adding a mechanism that is connected to the base via a rotating shaft and slidably connected to the screen, so that the screen slides out rearward to expose the keyboard area, and then rises upward (by the rotation of the added mechanism) ). The third type of deformation is achieved by the complete separation of the screen and the base.

The variants of the notebook/tablet described above all have their own shortcomings, as follows: The first is to flip the screen: In the flip screen, flip the screen back over 180 degrees to achieve the shape of the tablet. Its disadvantage is that the physical keyboard cannot be used in tablet mode. In use, the keyboard will be too much contact with the palm, the desktop, etc., and the wear is more serious. The other is the way to flip through the outer frame. The disadvantage is that the physical keyboard cannot be used in the tablet mode, and the problem that the screen angle cannot be adjusted in the tablet mode is increased. The third type is the rotating screen method. The disadvantage is that the physical keyboard cannot be used in the tablet mode, and the structure is complicated, the technical requirements are high, and the reliability is poor. It is difficult to realize an ultra-thin design.

Followed by screen sliding: The simplest of these is the way the screen slides straight up to reveal the physical keyboard. Its disadvantage is that it is only suitable for handheld operation. It requires an extra bracket when it is placed on the desktop and it is not convenient to use the keyboard at this time. The screen angle is not adjustable. The second is similar to the Nokia N97's sliding method, which compromises the characteristics of traditional notebooks and simple slider notebooks. The disadvantage is that the screen adjustment angle is small, and it is more difficult to use a physical keyboard for handheld operation. The third is to add an additional mechanism that addresses the shortcomings of the first two approaches. However, it also has its own drawbacks, that is, the structure becomes complicated and the reliability is deteriorated. Due to the limitation of space, the increased mechanism is small and the torque that can be transmitted is small, which results in the positioning of the screen angle is not very stable, and the screen size and weight can not be too large.

Finally, the screen base is separated: By separating, the screen part becomes a tablet, but at this time the base becomes cumbersome and can neither be discarded nor conveniently held in the hand, so additional space is required for placement. At this time, the physical keyboard is also not available in tablet mode. Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to overcome the above disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a hybrid variable The overall structure of the tablet, the tablet is simple and reliable, not only smooth, fast and convenient conversion between the tablet mode and the notebook mode, but also can adjust the screen angle arbitrarily in the notebook mode, in the tablet mode It is very convenient to use a physical keyboard. In addition, the current deformed notebook or the deformed tablet computer has a larger volume and weight than the conventional tablet computer while taking into consideration the function of the tablet and the notebook, and the invention has a simple structure and a small space, and can realize an ultra-thin design.

The object of the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions:

1. The hybrid deformation tablet structure comprises a base, an upper cover and a screen attached to the upper cover, wherein: the base is composed of a plurality of parts, respectively a first base part, a second base part, 3 base portion, the nth base portion, the first base portion and the second base portion are linked by a first hinge, and the second base portion and the third base portion are linked by a second hinge, the third base portion and The fourth base portion is connected by a third hinge... the n-1th base portion and the nth base portion are linked by an n-1th hinge, wherein n≥2, the upper cover and the base can pass through the slide rail The chute mechanism forms a movable coupling or forms a magnetically absorbing coupling by a magnetic adsorption device.

2. The above base may be provided with a magnetic adsorption device or a chute or a slide rail may be provided on the upper end surface or the side surface thereof.

3. The above upper cover may be provided with a magnetic adsorption device or a chute or a slide rail may be provided on the lower end surface thereof.

4. The side of the shorter side of the upper cover extends downward in a direction perpendicular to the lower end surface to form a concave body surrounding the base, and a chute or a slide rail may be disposed on the inner side.

5. From the first base portion to the above-mentioned n-1 base portion (including the first The lower end surface or side of some of the base portions of the base portion and the n-1th base portion or a portion of the structure of the base portion extends rearward in a direction parallel to the short side of the base to form a thin plate or a support.

6. The chute or rail provided on the base can be disconnected at a position passing through the gap of each part of the base.

7. A keyboard or a touch panel or a touch screen or a button may be provided from the first base portion to the upper end surface of the n-1th base portion.

8. The nth base portion of the base is provided with a slot, the slot being sized to match the thickness or length or width of the upper cover as desired.

The present invention has the following beneficial effects compared to the prior art:

The invention realizes the conversion between the tablet mode and the notebook mode by combining the sliding of the upper cover and the rotation of the parts of the base, or separates or combines the upper cover and the base by a magnetic adsorption mechanism to realize Conversion between tablet mode and laptop mode. An example of the specific operation method is as follows: In the flat mode, the upper cover is pushed to slide in the positive direction of the Y-axis to expose the lower base portion. When the upper cover passes the first hinge position, the hinge is rotated, and the upper cover is raised, and the notebook mode is switched. This conversion method is simpler and faster than the current technology, and the conversion mechanism is mature and reliable. This technology not only uses the keyboard with a single push in tablet mode, but also allows for a wide range of screen angle adjustments in notebook mode. In addition, the extended thin plate or support of the lower end surface of the first base portion increases the overall stability in the notebook mode. In addition, in the notebook mode, the area occupied by the whole platform (such as the desktop) is only the sum of the area of the base portion included in the long side of the hinge to the base near the X axis and the area projected from the screen to the platform. This area is going to Far less than the area occupied by traditional laptops. If the magnetic adsorption connection method is used, the specific operation method is as follows: As long as the magnetic cover is placed inside the upper cover or the base, the upper cover is separated from the base, and the upper cover itself can serve as a tablet; moreover, the upper cover and the base are adsorbed. The combination can also be implemented in tablet mode, tablet plus keyboard mode and laptop mode. The deformation mode involved in the present invention has two major features: The first feature is that if the sliding rail-slot coupling is used, since the sliding rail or the sliding slot is embedded in the base or the upper cover body, It does not increase the thickness of the whole machine, and can realize the ultra-thin and light design. Under the same process conditions, it can easily realize a thinner design than other products. If the magnetic adsorption connection method is adopted, the same can be realized. The above-mentioned thin design; the second feature is that in the notebook mode, the nth base portion is tilted up and not in contact with the horizontal plane. If the high heat generating electrical component is placed inside, it is not only better for heat dissipation, Moreover, when the user puts the inventive product on the legs (analogous to the laptop operation of the conventional laptop), the heat is not transmitted to the user, and the user is not only more comfortable but also completely solves the influence of heat on the user's health. , especially the impact on male reproductive health.
