Description

Portable Computer in Partition Form, its Mechanical Structure and Connecting Mode

Instead of a traditional desktop computer or other all-in-one computer, you can install the same high-speed processor and replace parts as easily as a desktop computer, connect it to a monitor or any LCD panel, and make it easy for individuals to carry with you. The purpose is to produce a computer that is easy to carry. At the same time, it provides lighting functions to the keyboard for smooth keyboard use even in the dark, and the mouse function can be used in almost any plane without a mouse pad, and it is in computer manufacturing to speed up the click or computer graphic functions.

It is not a machine structure of an integrated computer as possible as conventional computers, but rather a machine structure that separates computer parts as much as possible. Therefore, the external interfaces connecting external devices to the computer are internally separated in the desktop or flattop and are distinguished from the existing mechanical structure connected to the external devices. In the case of this existing mechanical structure, it is not free to exchange or use external interfaces freely. At the same time, in traditional desktop or desktop machine architectures, fixed disk storage drives (HDDs), floppy diskette drives, or CD-ROM / RAM drives are connected to the motherboard by cables inside the desktop or flattop, respectively. Therefore, each of these drives cannot be carried separately from the computer, nor can these drives be separated from the computer and used from the same computer remotely over long cables for multiple people to share the same computer. In addition, in the case of existing integrated computers, the main body of the computer is integrated with devices for a display, and thus various kinds of monitors or TFT LCD panels cannot be freely selected and used. Even in the case of a mouse, the speed of the graphics is inconvenient in the case of a conventional mouse and is inconvenient due to the limitation of the use of a pad. The cost of the wireless mouse is not reduced. IntelliMouse, powered by optical sensor technology (IntelliMouse ™) without the use of a conventional mouse or mouse ball, is not a pen-shaped mouse to speed up graphics, and does not work on all transparent and opaque surfaces. A more convenient stylus pen mouse also needs an electronic pad. In the case of the existing keyboard, the keyboard is not designed to be used by a narrow light so that others are not disturbed in the office or the room at outdoor or at night.

Since it is a mechanical structure that separates the external interfaces and drives so that they can be carried, the technical problem is to make the case suitable for option cards, eliminate the connection errors of the mechanical structure used by connecting them externally, and increase the processing speed. There is. In the case of the existing RS-232C signaling method, it can be up to 50 feet long depending on the 20kb data transmission rate, and in the case of RS-422 or RS-423, it can be up to 4000 feet at the 100kb data transmission rate. It depends on the connection method of the wire. In particular, the technical problem is demanded in the connection method between the fixed disk storage drive (HDD) and the motherboard. In the case of a pen mouse, there is a problem of designing and assembling in accordance with a pen-shaped and light weight having a mouse function. In the case of a lighting device of a keyboard, the task is to connect a more permanent and bright light emitting diode (LED) in parallel with the existing signal light emitting diode while being connected to the power supply of the keyboard to achieve a lighting effect.

The structure of the assembled personal computer of the present invention is no different from that of other desktop computers. However, in the mechanical structure, the construct constituting it is a little more divided, can be easily transported and can be easily assembled and used. This is different from the mechanical structure typically used by one or more users without moving, after being installed in one place, like a desktop computer. At the same time, portable computers such as notebook computers can be easily carried by the user and used anywhere in a convenient place, but have the disadvantage of not being able to use a high-performance computer as long as a desktop computer due to the limitation of the battery capacity. A flat-top LCD personal computer came out to compensate for this, but it was not an easy-to-segment type, but integrated, so it was difficult to move and could not overcome the limitations that it had to be used in one place. Therefore, this computer is designed to manufacture only the main board as the main body 10 of the computer (Fig. 8) or a structure of a power supply, a fixed disk storage drive (HDD), a floppy disk drive, or a CD-ROM / RAM drive. (FIG. 1). By further separating FIG. 8, the power supply unit may be replaced with a cable type power supply unit to separate a fixed disk storage drive (HDD), a floppy disk drive, or a CD-ROM / RAM drive. Also, for convenience, it is manufactured by changing the power switch or reset switch into a stand type that can be moved separately. In addition, the lighting device was added to the keyboard to facilitate the outdoor or night use of the computer, and the computer graphic was made easy and the pen mouse type was made to be used in close contact with the mouse instead of the fixed board. Option cards such as modem cards, etc. are made of an external structure for optional portability and can be connected directly to the central processing unit (CPU) through the groove.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the power supply device 16 is designed to be cooled together with the hard disk 18 as well as the power supply device through the cooling fins with the casing of the supply device removed. Then, the floppy disk 17, the hard disk and the CD-ROM are firmly fixed to the bottom thereof.

3, the rear side of the power switch 13 and the cooling fan air intake port 24 is provided with a mouse connection connector 20, a keyboard connection connector 21, and a printer connection connector 22 of the main board. Let other connectors 23 come out.

4, the cooling air outlet 25 of the power supply device 16 is directly connected to the power supply device on the rear surface of the floppy disk 26.

Referring to Fig. 5 showing the case of the option cards seen from the I side of Fig. 1, there are cooling air outlets 28 and 29 and the cover body 31 on the case body 27 with the projections 32 and 35 of the fixing device. ), So that the end of the groove surface 30 is concave downward, like the cover structure 31 of FIG. A groove is formed in the lower part of the case so that the card edge connector part 33 comes out.

According to Fig. 6, both covers of the case body are secured with the set screw 34a by sandwiching the space 34b in the middle.

As shown in FIG. 7, the contact device of the cards is for contacting the main board with the modem card, the AGP card, etc. among the graphic cards with the highest guarantee of system components.

The fixing method makes it easy to hang the fixed clip 36 of the rhombus to the attachment protrusion 35 in the case of the card. The lower fixing device 37 protrudes the fixing groove to move well from side to side.

Referring to FIG. 8, the main body is divided into a part 50 and another part, that is, a power supply device, a floppy disk driver 5, and a CD-ROM 6 into one part. . 1 and the other difference is the cover (39, 40) also serves as a storage of the cards. The TFT LCD panel 44 is configured in place of the general monitor. The floppy disk drive contact portion 45, the hard drive contact portion 46, and the CD-ROM contact portion 48 in the main body portion are connected by wires to the lower system device in the manner of the D-sub connector. The relay connector 43 of the power supply unit is directly connected to the connecting portion 42 of the main body.

FIG. 9 makes the lower portion 49 of FIG. 8 into a body portion 50 and one 52 as in FIG. 2 except for the TFT LCD panel connection surface 51.

Referring to FIG. 10, in order to allow the floppy disk drive contact portion 45, the hard drive contact portion 46, and the CD-ROM connection portion 48 of FIG. 8 to be connected by plugging the D-sub connector, both connector plugs are provided. When connecting to the wires, connect 34 wires of different colors to the 37 pins of the plug, and 50 wires for 50 pins. In the order of FIG. 10, 34 are connected in the order of 1, 20, 2, 21, ... (53) and 40 are connected in the order of 1, 18, 34, 2, 19, 35, ... (54 ).

In Figure 11, the mouse is manufactured in a pen shape which is convenient for drawing and convenient for holding. The pen mouse is designed like the rest of the mouse, but designed differently. Like the conventional mouse, two LEDs and photodiodes are used to reduce the mechanical structure of the input device that moves the X and Y coordinates of the cursor on the computer screen in the form of a pen. Except for and signal input device, it was changed to wire instead of board. The mouse ball 65 is also made very small, and the fixing device for fixing the light signal converters 59, 60, 63, 64 is designed to be one with the pen structure. And the switch 58 is easily envisioned to be pressed to the side. The connection line with the main body should be connected to the tip of the pen mouse.

The assembly and installation of the computer can be done by just inserting the case directly, and the computer can be removed and transported easily, and the repair cost can be reduced by bringing only the wrong parts and repairing them without having to call a repairman at home. can do. The cost of manufacturing does not require a lot of materials, thus contributing to environmental conservation, which speeds up the design and artistic process at the component level. It is also environmentally friendly, such as wood, etc. It can also pursue a variety of materials as it desires, and it can be boldly designed and conveniently designed for home and school furniture. You can try to scientificize the internal power supply or the connections between the motherboard and other devices a bit. At home, school, public space, street, etc., anyone can use the computer freely if they have a monitor. With the development of future TFT LCD monitors instead of conventional monitors, they can be easily adapted to such new developments. Computer components can be connected at will according to consumer preferences. Depending on the variety of circuits, the variety of separations, and the variety of coupling schemes, the miniaturization of computers can also be developed and, if necessary, larger. Thus, computerization and publicization can be accelerated. In addition, the motherboard and cards can be spaced up to make a small computer using an existing computer, which can accelerate the miniaturization of the high-performance computer.
