Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic device, comprising a first body, a second body and a pivoting mechanism. The pivoting mechanism comprises a base, a pivot, a sleeve and a supporting handle. The base is fixedly connected with the first body while the pivot is fixedly connected with the base. The sleeve is provided with a shaft hole which matches an intercept of the pivot; furthermore, an elastic force is acted on the pivot by the sleeve; a friction force is generated between the shaft hole and the pivot. The supporting handle is fixedly connected with the second body; furthermore, the supporting handle is provided with a first opening. One intersection of the sleeve is closely matched with the first opening. The friction force which is generated between the shaft hole and the pivot can support the second body, thus leading the second body not to pivotally and automatically rotate correspondingly to the first body.

Embodiment
Fig. 4 is the stereogram of the electronic equipment of one embodiment of the invention.See also Fig. 4, the electronic equipment 300 of present embodiment comprises a first housing 320, a second housing 340 and a pivot 400 substantially.Pivot 400 is connected between the first housing 320 and the second housing 340, so that the first housing 320 can relatively pivot with the second housing 340, and the fixing relative position between the first housing 320 and the second housing 340, and then adjust the angle A of the second housing 340 with respect to the first housing 320.
The electronic equipment 300 of present embodiment can be notebook as shown in Figure 4, also can be the electronic equipment that PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), mobile phone and portable video player etc. have the foldable function of body.The first housing 320 can be computer system base (for example being the main frame of notebook or the main frame of portable video player), and the second housing 340 can be display device (Display).Certainly, the first housing 320 also can be a display device, and the second housing 340 then can be the computer system base, so also can not influence the first housing 320, the second housing 340 and pivot 400 threes' allomeric function.
Fig. 5 is the stereogram of the pivot of Fig. 4, and Fig. 6 then is the exploded view of the pivot of Fig. 5.Please consult Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 simultaneously, pivot 400 mainly comprises a pedestal 410, a pivot 420, a sleeve 430 and a holder handle 440.Particularly, pedestal 410 is solidly connected to the first housing 320, and holder handle 440 then is solidly connected to the second housing 340 (seeing also Fig. 4).
Be subjected to that pivot 420 struts and the sleeve that is out of shape 430 can produce an elastic force that is applied on the pivot 420, between axis hole 432 and pivot 420, to produce frictional force.This frictional force can hinder being pivoted relative to each other between sleeve 430 and the pivot 420, with the fixing relative position between the second housing 340 and the first housing 320, and then adjusts the angle A (see also Fig. 4) of the second housing 340 with respect to the first housing 320.
Holder handle 440 has one first opening 442.Because the external diameter of the first intercept 434b of sleeve 430 is slightly larger than the bore of first opening 442, makes the intercept 434b that wins first opening 442 that closely cooperated, and then make sleeve 430 be able to and hold in the palm handle 440 close-fittings and affixed.
In an embodiment, pedestal 410 has a riveted holes 412, and an end 422b of pivot 420 is riveted to riveted holes 412, so that pivot 420 is solidly connected to pedestal 410.Except pivot 420 and pedestal 410 can be affixed each other two members, in the embodiment that other does not illustrate, both also can be integrally formed for pedestal 410 and pivot 420, and similarly reach the effect that pivot 420 is solidly connected to pedestal 410.
In the present embodiment, sleeve 430 because of its axis hole 432 radially extend to sleeve 430 around so that the end face 436 of sleeve 430 is a C word shape with breach in fact.This end face 436 is out of shape for the sleeve 430 of C word shape can be strutted by pivot 420, and then makes sleeve 430 produce the elastic force that is applied on the pivot 420, to produce frictional force between axis hole 432 and pivot 420.
Yet, even the end face 436 of sleeve 430 is not a C word shape, also do not influence closely cooperating between sleeve 430 and the pivot 420, and the allomeric function of pivot 400.Therefore, the end face 436 of the C word shape of sleeve 430 shown in Figure 6 just is used for illustrating, and is not to be used for limiting the present invention.
The surface of the intercept 422a of pivot 420 can have a plurality of oil cavities 424, so that lubricant oil can be stored in these oil cavities 424, on the surface with the intercept 422a that is supplied to pivot 420.After sleeve 430 is being placed in pivot 420, lubricant oil in the oil cavity 424 is provided at lubricating between sleeve 430 and the pivot 420, so that sleeve 430 and pivot 420 are when being pivoted relative to each other being subjected to external force, can not cause because the frictional force between sleeve 430 and the pivot 420 is too big sleeve 430 and pivot 420 difficulty be pivoted relative to each other, or produce the noise of high frequency between sleeve 430 and the pivot 420 because of friction.
Yet oil cavity 424 is not to be the essential feature of pivot 420, even pivot 420 does not have oil cavity 424 not influence the allomeric function of pivot 400 yet.Therefore, the oil cavity 424 of pivot 420 shown in Figure 6 is only for illustrating, and non-limiting the present invention.
In the present embodiment, pivot 400 more comprises a collar 450, and it has one second opening 452.Because the external diameter of the second intercept 434a of sleeve 430 is slightly larger than the bore of second opening 452 of the collar 450, make the second intercept 434a, second opening 452 that closely cooperated, and then it is affixed to make that sleeve 430 is able to the collar 450 close-fittings.
In addition, the collar 450 has more a bolt key 454, and holder handle 440 has more a croze 444.When closely cooperate second opening 452 of the collar 450 of the second intercept 434a of sleeve 430, when the first intercept 434b of sleeve 430 closely cooperated first opening 442 of holder handle 440, bolt key 454 cooperates crozes 444 so that holder handle 440 is placed in bolt key 454.Therefore, when the 440 stressed rotations of holder handle, can drive bolt key 454, can be pivoted relative to each other with the intercept 422a of pivot 420 to guarantee sleeve 430 by croze 444.
In sum, pivot of the present invention can be by the frictional force between sleeve and the pivot, so that the first housing is with respect to the relative position between the back fixedly first housing of second housing work pivot and the second housing.In addition, compared to existing pivot (seeing also Fig. 2 and Fig. 3), the present invention is less because of the number of components that is adopted, so can reduce the cost of member.
Though the present invention discloses as above with an embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; having of field known the knowledgeable usually under any the present invention of haveing the knack of; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is when looking accompanying being as the criterion that claim defines.
