In the following, referring to fig. 1 to 4, fig. 1 is a schematic partial perspective view of a notebook computer according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is another schematic partial perspective view of the notebook computer shown in fig. 1, fig. 3 is an exploded schematic view of an assembly rack of the notebook computer shown in fig. 1, and fig. 4 is an operation schematic view of one of the assembly racks shown in fig. 1.
In the present embodiment, a notebook computer 1 is disclosed, which includes a main body 10 and a display body 20. The main body 10 may include a set of shelves 11 and electronic components 12. The assembly frame 11 includes a first housing member 100 and a second housing member 200. The first housing 100 may be, for example, a component for a keyboard arrangement, and the first housing 100 may have a theft-proof aperture 101. The anti-theft hole 101 may be, for example, a kenston lock hole (Kensington Security Slot, abbreviated as K-Slot) for a computer lock LK to be locked. The second housing member 200 may be, for example, a back cover. The first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are disposed opposite to each other to form an inner space (not otherwise numbered). The electronic component 12 may be, for example, a hard disk, and the electronic component 12 is disposed in the internal space. The display body 20 may be, for example, a component having a screen, and the display body 20 may be, for example, pivotally disposed on the main body 10.
The assembly frame 11 may further comprise a fastener 300, a stopper 400, a rotator 500, and a return 600. The fastening member 300, the stop member 400, the rotating member 500 and the returning member 600 can be located in the inner space. The fastener 300 is connected to the first housing member 100. The fastener 300 may have an opening 310, and the opening 310 communicates with the anti-theft hole 101. The fastening member 300 may have a first guiding inclined plane 301, and the first guiding inclined plane 301 faces the second housing 200.
The stopper 400 is connected to the first case 100, and the stopper 400 extends toward the second case 200. The stopper 400 may have an inclined surface 401. The inclined surface 401 faces the second housing member 200.
The rotator 500 is located within the interior space. The rotating member 500 includes a pivot portion 510, a locking portion 520, and a stop portion 530. The pivot portion 510 is rotatably disposed on the second housing member 200 along a rotation axis AX substantially parallel to the second housing member 200, for example, by a rotation axis ST. The buckling part 520 is connected with the stopping part 530 to the pivoting part 510 and is movable close to or away from the second housing 200 along with the rotation of the pivoting part 510. The fastening portion 520 may have a second guiding inclined plane 521, and the second guiding inclined plane 521 faces away from the second housing 200. The stop 530 may have some elastic deformation capability, for example, of plastic material, and the stop 400 is located on the motion path of the stop 530. The stop portion 530 has a receiving surface 531. The abutment surface 531 may face the opening 310.
The return member 600 may be resilient, such as a torsion spring. The reset element 600 may be disposed on the second housing 200 and abuts against the rotating element 500 to maintain the rotating element 500 in a coupling position, as shown in fig. 4.
The operation of the assembly rack will be described below. Please refer to fig. 4 to fig. 6 together with fig. 1 to fig. 3, wherein fig. 4 to fig. 6 are schematic views illustrating the operation of the assembly frame in fig. 1.
As shown in fig. 4, when the rotating member 500 is in the coupling position, the fastening portion 520 of the rotating member 500 fastens the fastening member 300 in the coupling position to restrict the relative movement between the second housing member 200 and the first housing member 100.
To release the engagement between the engagement portion 520 and the engagement member 300 to detach the second housing member 200 from the first housing member 100, the computer lock LK (shown in fig. 1) is first removed from the anti-theft hole 101 to expose the abutting surface 531 through the anti-theft hole 101 and the opening 310. Then, a puncture needle PN is inserted through the anti-theft hole 101 and the opening 310, and the puncture needle PN is used to abut against the abutting surface 531 of the stop portion 530, so as to drive the stop portion 530 to move toward the stop member 400. When the stopper 530 contacts the inclined surface 401, it is pressed by the inclined surface 401 to be slightly elastically deformed. Then, the stop portion 530 moves to a release position after passing over the inclined surface 401, and returns to the original shape of the stop portion 530 to be stopped by the stop member 400 and maintained at the release position, as shown in fig. 5. At this time, the buckling part 520 moves to the release position together with the stopping part 530.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the rotator 500 is in the release position, the engagement portion 520 of the rotator 500 is disengaged from the fastener 300 in the release position. At this time, since the stopper 530 is maintained at the release position, the engaging portion 520 is maintained at the release position. Therefore, the puncture needle PN can be pulled out from the anti-theft hole 101, and the buckling relationship between the buckling portion 520 and the buckling member 300 can be maintained, so that the user can make a double hand to easily detach the second housing member 200 from the first housing member 100, and the user does not need to disassemble the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 while fixing the rotating member 500, thereby facilitating the operation of the user. After the second housing member 200 is removed from the first housing member 100, the stopper 530 is moved away from the stopper 400 and is no longer stopped by the stopper 400, and the restoring member 600 returns the stopper 530 and the fastening portion 520 to the coupling position by the force applied to the rotating member 500.
As shown in fig. 6, if the second housing member 200 is assembled to the first housing member 100 again, a force toward the first housing member 100 may be applied to the second housing member 200. In the process of applying force, the fastening member 300 connected to the first shell member 100 abuts against the second guiding inclined plane 521 of the fastening portion 520 through the first guiding inclined plane 301, so as to drive the fastening portion 520 to move toward the release position, such that the fastening member 300 is no longer located on the movement path of the fastening portion 520 toward the first shell member 100. Then, after the first guiding inclined plane 301 passes over the fastening portion 520 and the second housing member 200 is assembled to the first housing member 100, the force exerted by the returning member 600 on the rotating member 500 returns the fastening portion 520 to the coupling position again, so that the fastening portion 520 again fastens the fastening member 300 to complete the restriction of the relative movement between the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200, as shown in fig. 4.
According to the notebook computer and the assembly frame, the buckling part which is positioned in the inner space and is arranged at the second shell piece can be buckled with the buckling piece which is positioned in the inner space and is connected with the first shell piece when being at the combining position, so that the assembly frame is not easy to be detached from the outside. When the assembly rack is applied to the host machine body of the notebook computer, the host machine body is not easy to be disassembled from the outside, and the risk of theft of electronic components in the host machine body can be reduced.
Moreover, by the design that the stop part is stopped by the stop piece when the stop part is positioned at the release position, the buckling part can be maintained at the release position so as to maintain the buckling relation with the buckling piece, a user can vacate hands to easily detach the second shell piece from the first shell piece, and the user does not need to disassemble the first shell piece and the second shell piece while fixing the rotating piece, so that the operation of the user is convenient.
In addition, when the anti-theft hole of the notebook computer is locked by the computer lock, other people can be prevented from poking the poking needle from the anti-theft hole so as to move the actuating part to the release position, and the possibility that the second shell piece is detached is further reduced.
