Abstract

The present invention discloses a terminal device, comprising a first terminal part and a second terminal part, the first terminal part comprising a base part; a keyboard part on the a first region of the base part; a bracket part on a second region of the base part adjacent to the first region, wherein, the thickness of the keyboard part matches the thickness of the bracket part; a first shaft on a side of the base part away from the keyboard part and connected with the bracket part so that the bracket part can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the first shaft; a second shaft on a side of the bracket part away from the first shaft and connected with the second terminal part, so that the second terminal part can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the second shaft.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A terminal device, comprising:
 a first terminal part and a second terminal part, the first terminal part comprising:
 a base; 
 a keyboard part, provided on a first region of the base part; 
 a bracket part, provided on a second region of the base part adjacent to the first region, 
 
 wherein, 
 a thickness of the keyboard part and a thickness of the bracket part are a same, or the thickness of the keyboard part and the thickness of the bracket part have a same slope and thicknesses of adjacent places of the keyboard part and the bracket part are substantially the same; 
 a first shaft fixed on a side of the base part away from the keyboard part and connected with the bracket part in which the bracket part is able to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the first shaft; 
 a second shaft provided on a side of the bracket part away from the first shaft and connected with the second terminal part; 
 the second terminal part is connected to the bracket part through the second shaft and is rotatable clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the second shaft; 
 when in a pad usage configuration, the terminal device is configured such that (a) a lower surface of the bracket part overlaps the base part, (b) the second terminal part is placed flat on the bracket part and the keyboard part, and (c) a lower surface of the second terminal part overlaps the keyboard part and an upper surface of the bracket part; and 
 the bracket part comprises a computing component and a cooling component of the terminal device. 
 
     
     
       2. The terminal device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the computing component is connected to the keyboard part through a printed circuit provided in the first shaft; and 
 the computing component is connected to the second terminal part through another printed circuit provided in the second shaft. 
 
     
     
       3. The terminal device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the computing component comprises at least a processing unit, a storage unit, and a motherboard unit; and 
 the cooling component comprises at least one of a heat sink or a fan. 
 
     
     
       4. The terminal device of  claim 1 , wherein the second terminal part is a display screen of the terminal device. 
     
     
       5. The terminal device of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the terminal device has at least the pad usage configuration, a notebook usage configuration, a desktop pad usage configuration, and a pad usage configuration having a support based on a first relative position relationship between the bracket part and the base part and a second relative position relationship between the second terminal part and the bracket part. 
 
     
     
       6. The terminal device of  claim 5 , wherein in the notebook usage configuration,
 the bracket part inclines with respect to the base part to support the second terminal part; and 
 there is a predetermined angle between an upper surface of the second terminal part and the keyboard part. 
 
     
     
       7. The terminal device of  claim 5 , wherein in the desktop pad usage configuration,
 the bracket part inclines with respect to the base part so that the second shaft has a predetermined height with respect to the base part; and 
 the second terminal part is parallel with the keyboard part. 
 
     
     
       8. The terminal device of  claim 5 , wherein in the pad usage configuration having the support,
 the bracket part inclines with respect to the base part to support the second terminal part; and 
 the lower surface of the second terminal part overlaps with the upper surface of the bracket part. 
 
     
     
       9. The terminal device of  claim 4 , wherein a size of the second terminal part matches a size of the base part.
