1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a microcomputer, particularly to improvement in assembling structure of a microcomputer, pertaining to the field of computer technology.
2. Description of the Related Art
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of showing the structure of snap fitting of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective exploded view of the structure of the embodiment in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 & FIG. 4 are schematic plan views of the structure of the snap fitting in the embodiment of FIG. 1.
The built-up microcomputer in FIG. 1 comprises an input means 2 (keyboard in the present embodiment, but not limited to the keyboard in present invention), an output means 3 integrated with computer main (electronic notebook in present embodiment, but not limited to the electronic notebook in present invention) as well as a connecting part 1. One end of the connecting part 1 is hinged to the input means 2, and the other end is connected to the independent output means 3 integrated with computer main, such that said input means 2 can join with said independent output means 3 integrated with computer main through said connecting part 1. In case of necessity, the output means 3 integrated with computer main can be separated from the connecting part 1, and hence separated from the input means 2 so as to be used independently.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the output means 3 integrated with computer main of the present embodiment is composed of a main body 31 and a display screen 32 connected together. Said main body 31 has two openings 33 symmetrically arranged on the side corresponding to the connecting part 1. Said input means comprises a main body 22 and an outer housing 23 on top of said main body 22. Said outer housing 23 is provided with lugs 24 symmetrically disposed corresponding to one end of the connecting part 1. Each said lug 24 has a cavity 25 on an outer side. In the cavity 25 is fitted a rotary shaft 26, which is joined with the connecting part 1 so that the connecting part 1 can be turned over on the output means 2. Moreover, said output means 2 is connected to input terminals of electrical connector 21 on the connecting part 1 (not shown in figure). Said main body 31 has a connector 34 set up on an inner side adjacent to opening 33. Said connector 34 can be connected to the input terminals of electrical connector 21 on the connecting part 1, and the output means 3 integrated with computer main is electrically connected to the input means through said electrical connector 21.
Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, the connecting part 1 is composed of an upper case 11 and a lower case 12 connected together. Within the upper case 11 and lower case 12 is set up a snap lock 10 with a base frame 13, which is connected to the lower case 12 through the joining member 131. A mobile latch 14 is set up on said base frame 13 and is capable to slide on the base frame 13 in both left and right directions. At both ends of said mobile latch 14 is provided a hook 141 respectively. When the output means 3 integrated with computer main is inserted in the connecting part 1, by the sliding of said mobile latch 14 on the base frame 13 to left or right, the mobile hook 141 can be hooked on to opening 33 of the output means 3 integrated with computer main, so that the independent output means 3 integrated with computer main is joined to connecting part 1. On the other hand, hook 141 can be disengaged from opening 33 of the output means 3 integrated with computer main, so that the independent output means 3 integrated with computer main can be separated from the connecting part 1 in case of necessity. On one side of mobile latch 14 is provided a push button 15, which is connected to mobile latch 14 through a fastener (a screw in present embodiment, but not limited to the screw in present invention). On the top end of said push button 15 is provided a rough portion 152, which protrudes out from the opening 16 of the connecting part 1 so that the button 15 can be moved from outside of the connecting part 1, and thereby the mobile latch 14 can be slid on the base frame 13 to left or right. The mobile latch 14, on the side adjacent to said button 15 is provided a disengaging key 17, which moves up and down in the opening 18 set on the connecting part 1 and is surrounded by a restoring elastic element 171 (an helical spring in present embodiment, but not limited to the spring in present invention). Said elastic element 171 makes the disengaging key 17 restore to original position after being pressed down. Said disengaging key 17 has an out extending first hook 172 set at the side corresponding to the push button 15, and the push button 15 has a second hook 153 mating with first hook 172. When the first hook 172 and second hook 153 are hooked to each other, the push button 15 can not be pressed down. But as soon as disengaging key 17 is pressed down, the second hook 153 is disengaged from the first hook 172 and the push button 15 can again be pressed down. In addition, the mobile latch 14 has a restoring elastic element 19 set at the other side corresponding to push button 15. Said restoring elastic element 19 is connected with the connecting part 1 at the other side corresponding to the mobile latch 14, so that mobile latch 14 can be restored to its original position by the sliding of mobile latch 14 to left and right through the pushing of button 15.
