Description

A kind of shell mechanism of data processing equipment

The utility model relates to a kind of shell mechanism of data processing equipment, and (Personal Digital Assistant PDA) waits the employed shell of portable electronic data processing equipment as personal digital assistance in application.

Development along with information industry, as HPC (Hand-Held PersonalComputer, HPC), personal digital assistance (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA) etc. portable electronic data processing equipment has replaced traditional desktop type personal computers or mobile computer gradually.

Size as its about slightly palm of HPC or personal digital assistance, has the characteristic that is easy to carry about with one, and along with the development of Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN), except that processing or store information, more can obtain instant information whenever and wherever possible, cooperate simultaneously coffret (infrared ray or connecting line) also can with the desktop type personal computers exchange message in office or the family, become an instrument of business people's indispensability.

Present visible HPC or personal digital assistance have comprised that haply one is the main frame of long cuboid, main frame is provided with a LCD, because the volume of main frame is also little, in order to allow the user can clearly watch information on the display, usually display has promptly accounted for exhausted big area, therefore only be provided with a few button usually on the main frame, a few button also is not inconsistent operational demand, therefore LCD adopts the touch screen usually, and the user can press pen by one and directly push screen and can require the main frame fill order.Yet present most of HPC or personal digital assistance only are concealed in the accommodating bag in not using when placing, and do not have other protection for LCD, and LCD is as easy as rolling off a log to be damaged because of pressurized or bump.

A " Info Touch " (INFO TOUCH) personal digital assistance of being released by company of E-TEN Corp (ETEN CORP) is arranged at present on the market; unlikely impaired when protecting LCD to place; side in main frame is articulated with a protecting cover; this protecting cover is tabular; because main frame has certain thickness; therefore be pivoted with first rotating shaft in the bottom of main frame one side; first rotating shaft connects a plate; second rotating shaft that is pivoted of the connecting plate other end; first rotating shaft articulates with protecting cover again; so when using personal digital assistance; protecting cover could be folded in the main frame bottom, yet must utilize two rotating shafts and a plate protecting cover could be folded in the main frame bottom, comparatively complicated with regard to structure; make and assemble comparatively difficulty, and production cost is higher.

The utility model main purpose is to provide a kind of shell mechanism of data processing equipment.

According to the Shell structure of data processing equipment disclosed in the utility model, it includes:

One shell has an accommodation space that can be installed with electronics spare parts such as motherboard, processor and memory, on this shell and a LCD can be set,

One protecting cover has the side of flexible elasticity direct forming in this shell, and this protecting cover is flexible and movable to be overlying on the protective position of this outer casing top surface to a cover, and a cover is overlying on the stowed position of this shell bottom surface.

Wherein, this shell is made of upper shell and lower house.

Wherein, this upper shell has one in order to be installed with the opening of this LCD.

Wherein, this upper shell bottom peripheral edge has several trips, and this lower house end face periphery has the button hole corresponding to this trip, and this trip can fasten in this button hole, and promptly upper shell combines with lower house.

Wherein, has a screw-jointing seat at least in this upper shell.This lower house has a screw seat corresponding to this screw-jointing seat at least, can utilize a screw to be screwed in by this screw seat and be incorporated into this screw-jointing seat, and this upper shell is combined with lower house.

Wherein, this protecting cover has extended to form several rib by the link with this shell.

This shell utilizes protecting cover to have the characteristic of bending elasticity, makes the protecting cover can be directly crooked and place end face or bottom surface in shell, is located at the LCD of outer casing top surface with protection, or places the bottom surface in shell during data processing equipment when using.
