Therefore, the mobile terminal apparatus that is equipped with hinge assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the invention can launch under the situation of the motor that does not use the needs electric energy automatically.And, based on this embodiment's hinge assembly longer service life than the hinging structure that needs motor.
After having folded mobile terminal, torsion spring 10 may torsional deflection, and keeps the torsional elasticity recuperability in the direction of launching along elementary cell 1 and folding unit 2 with mobile terminal.When the power that keeps elementary cell 1 and folding unit 2 to be in the magnetic engagement member of folded state or latch members was removed, the axle bush 30 and the housing 80 of hinge assembly can backward rotation.Like this, can launch elementary cell 1 and folding unit 2, one in this elementary cell and axle bush and the housing combines, and folding unit then combines with in axle bush and the housing another.
According to this embodiment, sliding cam 50, axle 20 and axle bush 30 can rotate in reverse direction by elastic force and supporter 40, stationary cam 60 and the housing 80 of torsion spring 10.Therefore, for example, by elementary cell 1 is combined with housing, and folding unit 2 is combined with axle bush, mobile terminal can automatically launch.In other words, elementary cell 1 and folding unit 2 can with the combination of elements of the hinge assembly 100 that rotates to different direction by torsion spring 10, to rotate along with the rotation of hinge assembly.
According to the internal structure that elementary cell 1 and folding unit 2 are bonded to each other, elementary cell 1 can combine with axle bush 30, and folding unit 2 can combine with housing 80.
The stationary cam 60 that can combine with housing can mesh with sliding cam 50, and sliding cam 50 can link with axle 20.On sliding cam, can form pyramidal projections, and in stationary cam, can form conical indentation, so that sliding cam and stationary cam closely cooperate.The shape of above-mentioned sliding cam and stationary cam can be according to user's needs and is different.Because stationary cam keeps in touch (it may carry out relative rotation) towards sliding cam and with sliding cam, the rotation that stationary cam can be sliding cam provides damping force.Amount to the damping force that rotation applied of hinge assembly can be adjusted according to the stationary cam of interlocking and the shape and the structure of sliding cam.
Stationary cam 60 and sliding cam 50 can damping hinge assembly 100 the rotating speed of element.When the recuperability of torsion spring 10 became 0, the rotating speed of axle bush 30 relative housings 80 can reach maximum value, but the damping function that this rotating speed can provide by the engagement of sliding cam and stationary cam and damped.
Sliding cam 50, can rotate 60 dampings of cam that can be fixed of its medium speed by torsion spring 10 relative to housing 80 with the axle 20 of sliding cam interlock and the axle bush 30 that combines with axle.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, (one in elementary cell and axle bush 30 and the housing 80 combines when the recuperability of torsion spring 10 makes elementary cell and folding unit, folding unit then combines with in axle bush 30 and the housing 80 another) when launching, can carry out the damping function of stationary cam 60 and sliding cam 50.Therefore, mobile terminal can be deployed into position of maximum extension reposefully under situation about not being impacted.
In order to adjust the development rate of mobile terminal reposefully, can between stationary cam 60 and sliding cam 50, provide reliable cooperation.According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pressure spring 70 that is arranged between supporter 40 and the sliding cam can be by support member, to apply elastic force to sliding cam continuously.Therefore, sliding cam can closely contact with stationary cam 60 constantly by pressure spring, thereby provides reliable damping function for hinge assembly.
Therefore, can use hinge assembly 100 based on this mode of execution automatically to launch mobile terminal, this hinge assembly does not need to use the motor that needs power consumption, and can realize the steady expansion action of mobile terminal.
Equally, according to this mode of execution, to shown in Figure 4, damper 200 can combine with axle as Fig. 2, with the rotating speed of damping axle and be that mobile terminal provides and launches action more stably.In this specific implementations, the opposite side of axle can pass sliding cam and stationary cam combines with damper.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are a kind of perspective exploded view of implementing the damper in every hinge assembly according to the present invention.With reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 damper 200 according to the hinge assembly of one embodiment of the present invention is described below.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, shown in Figure 4 and 5, second shell 220 that damper 200 can comprise first shell 210, combine with this first shell in the mode of allow sliding and rotate and with this second shell in abutting connection with being provided with to limit the block 230 of second shell rotation.
Viscous fluid can be filled in inner space between first shell 210 and second shell 220.Can between first shell 210 and second shell 220, inject viscous fluid and think that the relative movement of first shell and second shell provides frictional force.Can between first shell 210 and second shell 220, inject viscous fluid and sealing.This viscous fluid can be the very high fluid of viscosity, can be by applying frictional force and the rotating speed of damping axle to relatively rotating of first shell and second shell.So, the lubricant oil of high viscosity or silicone oil can be used as this viscous fluid.
First shell 210 can combine with the axle that passes sliding cam and stationary cam, so that first shell 210 and axle interlock.According to this mode of execution, the cross section of opposite side terminal part of passing the axle of sliding cam and stationary cam can be the shape of the D shape otch of rectangle or symmetry.The shape of terminal part of the axle opposite side that can combine with damper 200 as shown in Figure 3, can have and is similar to the shape that obtains during symmetrically from the excision of its both sides when two-part of cylindrical shaft.
Shown as the embodiment among Fig. 5, first shell 210 can comprise core 212 and flange 214, has the inner space between core and the flange.
Core 212 can have from the core of first shell to outstanding cylindrical of the second shell direction.Core can closely contact with second shell 220, and takes to allow the mode of sliding.Can in core, be formed for and a keyway 212a who combines.This keyway 212a can with the corresponding formation in cross section of the D shape otch of the rectangle of axle or symmetry.In this specific implementations, axle can be inserted and is combined in this tetragonal keyway, so that first shell 210 and axle interlock.
Flange 214 is formed on the lateral part of first shell 210, around core 212.Flange 214 can stretch out to second shell 220 from the edge of first shell, and the distance certain at interval with core.Shown in the embodiment among Fig. 5, can between core and flange, form inner space 240, viscous fluid injects this inner space.
Flange 214 can closely contact with the edge or the lateral part of second shell 220 by the mode that allows to slide.The flange of first shell 210 can closely contact with second shell with core 212, thus the sealing viscous fluid.Silicone (silicone) ring can be set between first shell and second shell, leak to prevent viscous fluid.
Can on second shell 220, form towards the friction projection 224 of the direction projection of first shell 210.Can form this friction projection 224 allowing friction projection 224 to be inserted on the position in the inner space of defining by core 212 and flange 214.Except go into to have the friction projection at the spatial interpolation between core and the flange, in this space, inject viscous fluid, and viscous fluid can apply bigger frictional force to second shell.
First shell 210 and second shell 220 can be bonded to each other, so that first shell 210 and second shell 220 can relative to each other slide and rotate.Simultaneously, unless apply specific external force, viscous fluid can be sealed in the inner space that is formed by first shell and second shell, and friction projection 224 is formed on second shell, because the frictional force that viscous fluid applied, so that second shell 220 and the interlock of first shell.The rotation of the axle that in other words, combines with first shell can cause that second shell 220 also rotates thereupon.
Block 230 (by block, second shell 220 that rotates with first shell 210 can be blocked and can not rotate in the location) can combine with housing.The block that is fixed in housing can stop the rotation of second shell in the special angle scope.
According to this mode of execution, second shell 220 and block 230 can be with the mode combinations that allows to slide.Shown as embodiment among Fig. 4, can second shell in the face of and contact blocks the surface in formation guide groove 226.Guide groove can be the Baltimore groove that forms in a surface of second shell, and when from one of this second shell outwardly the time, its shape is as the circular arc that is formed centrally special angle in centering on.This arc guide barrel 226 can be formed in the surface of second shell symmetrically.
On the contrary, lock pin projection 232 can be formed on the surface of the block 230 of second shell 220.The lock pin projection can be formed on and corresponding position, the position of guide groove, so that the lock pin projection can be inserted in the guide groove.As shown in Figure 4, two lock pin projections can be arranged, each can insert in the guide groove 226 that is symmetrically formed.
Therefore, owing to can be formed with lock pin projection 232 on the block 230, therefore second shell 220 can stop operating in specific angle with the axle and first shell 210.Because the lock pin projection can be inserted in the guide groove 226 of second shell 220, the block 230 that is formed with lock pin projection 232 on it can be fixed in housing, and second shell can rotate in the special angle that is limited by guide groove.
In the location that the rotation of second shell is restricted, first shell 210 and second shell can relatively rotate with respect to each other.If second shell was static when first shell rotated, then first shell may be subjected to the frictional force that applied by viscous fluid continuously.Therefore, when second shell is limited by block 230 and can not rotate, rotating speed that can the damping axle.
On the other hand, if axle and first shell, 210 backward rotation, second shell 220 may link with first shell and axle once more, reaches specific angle up to it, and the rotation of second shell may be stoped by block 230 once more in this angle.Therefore, the some place that can be prevented from away from the rotation of second shell realizes the function of damper 200 in opposite direction.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating speed of axle can be damped in the rotary location of axle.Damped in the location that the rotating speed of axle can be limited by block 230 in the rotation of second shell 220.Therefore, be formed on guide groove 226 in second shell, just can adjust the zone that damping function is implemented by change.That is, the two ends by changing each guide groove 226 are about the angle that the central part of second shell forms, and just can adjust that second shell is not subjected to the restriction of block 230 and the zone of rotating.
As mentioned above, axle can combine with damper 200, and damper can be at the rotating speed of the rotary special angle internal damping of axle axle.Therefore, in the mobile terminal that is equipped with hinge assembly based on specific implementations of the present invention, folding unit can launch reposefully, and its to greatest extent start point be not subjected to the influence of elastic energy.
The aforesaid specific implementations according to the present invention by use torsion spring in the hinge assembly structure, can produce the mobile terminal that only uses a few components just can launch automatically reposefully.
Although describe spirit of the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiment, these embodiments only are used for the example purpose, do not really want to limit the present invention.Should be appreciated that under the condition that does not deviate from scope and spirit of the present invention those skilled in the art can change or revises embodiment.
