Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the synoptic diagram in serviceable life of testing the stop mechanism of an electronic installation with a kind of test tool equipment of one embodiment of the invention, and Fig. 2 shows the side view of the anchor clamps among Fig. 1.Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, test tool equipment 100 can be in order to testing effective folding number of times of a folding-type electronic device 200, and can be in order to the serviceable life of a stop mechanism of test folding-type electronic device 200.Folding-type electronic device 200 is made up of a first housing 210 and a second housing 220, and has above-mentioned stop mechanism.The second housing 220 is articulated in the first housing 210, and stop mechanism is disposed between the first housing 210 and the second housing 220, and can be in order to the maximum start point of the restriction second housing 220 with respect to the first housing 210.
In this embodiment, folding-type electronic device 200 for example is a notebook computer, and the first housing 210 then for example is respectively a main frame and a display of notebook computer with the second housing 220.The first housing 210 has two depressions 212, and the second housing 220 then has two fins 222.Moreover the second housing 220 is articulated in a lateral margin of the first housing 210 by these fins 222, and these fins 222 can cave at these and rotate with respect to the first housing 210 in 212.When the second housing 220 turned to a critical localisation with respect to the first housing 210 by a make-position, these fins 222 can prop up the bottom of these depressions 212, rotated with respect to the first housing 210 with the restriction second housing 220.At this moment, the angle between the second housing 220 and the first housing 210 is the maximum start point (for example be 90 shown in Fig. 1 degree) of the second housing 220, and the i.e. stop mechanism among the embodiment for this reason in the bottom of these fins 222 and these depressions 212.
Yet comparatively common stop mechanism is not limited in the foregoing description at present.In the embodiment that other do not illustrate, a hinge (hinge) that is articulated between the first housing and the second housing can design maximum start point.At this moment, design comes the i.e. stop mechanism among the embodiment for this reason in order to the mechanism of the maximum start point of restriction hinge.
Perhaps, in the embodiment that another does not illustrate, a lateral margin of the second housing can be articulated on the upper surface of the first housing.And when the second housing turned to maximum start point with respect to the first housing, the lateral margin of the second housing can prop up the upper surface of the first housing, rotated with respect to the first housing with the restriction second housing.At this moment, the i.e. stop mechanism among the embodiment for this reason of the lateral margin of the upper surface of the first housing and the second housing.
It should be noted that the test tool equipment 100 among the present invention can't be subject to the mechanism design of stop mechanism.Therefore, test tool equipment 100 not only can be in order to the serviceable life of the stop mechanism of test in the foregoing description, also can be in order to test the serviceable life of other stop mechanisms.But the stop mechanism kind of at present comparatively common maximum start point in order to the restriction folding-type electronic device is numerous, so do not add to give unnecessary details in this.
In addition, folding-type electronic device 200 is not limited in the notebook computer in the foregoing description.In the embodiment that other do not illustrate, folding-type electronic device 200 can also be collapsible mobile phone or other folding-type electronic device with stop mechanism.Below will describe the structure of test tool equipment 100 in detail and by the method in serviceable life of the stop mechanism of test tool equipment 100 test folding-type electronic devices 200.
The swivel mount 120, one that test tool equipment 100 is articulated in pedestal 110 by a pedestal 110, is connected in the elastic component 140 that the anchor clamps 130 and of swivel mount 120 are assembled in the anchor clamps 130 and is formed.The first housing 210 can be held on the pedestal 110, and the second housing 220 can be held in anchor clamps 130, rotates between make-position and critical localisation with respect to the first housing 210 so that swivel mount 120 can drive the second housing 220 by anchor clamps 130.Thus, the tester can be by effective folding number of times of test tool equipment 100 test folding-type electronic devices 200.
In addition, when swivel mount 120 turns to critical localisation by the anchor clamps 130 drive second housings 220 with respect to the first housing 210, these fins 222 can prop up the bottom of these depressions 212, rotate with respect to the first housing 210 with the restriction second housing 220, and anchor clamps 130 can order about elastic component 140 generation elastic deformations.Thus, the tester can come comparatively correctly to estimate the external force that bear these fins 222 and these 212 bottoms of caving in by the elastic deformation of elastic component 140.
More specifically, the anchor clamps 130 among this embodiment can be made up of one first intermediate plate 132, one second intermediate plate 134 and a connection piece 136.First intermediate plate 132 for example is a L type intermediate plate, and the one end can be connected in swivel mount 120 by a locking component 150.Moreover second intermediate plate 134 is with respect to the configuration of first intermediate plate 132, and between first intermediate plate 132 and elastic component 140, and the lateral margin that the second housing 220 is away from these fins 222 can be held between first intermediate plate 132 and second intermediate plate 134.
In addition, web member 136 for example is a latch, and it can have two limiting section 136a, and 136b, elastic component 140 then for example are volute springs.Web member 136 can run through first intermediate plate 132, second intermediate plate 134 and elastic component 140, so that first intermediate plate 132, second intermediate plate 134 are remained in these limiting sections 136a with elastic component 140, between the 136b.At this moment, first intermediate plate 132 can prop up limiting section 136a, and the opposite end of elastic component 140 then props up second intermediate plate 134 and limiting section 136b respectively.In addition, 134 of second intermediate plates can slide along web member 136.
When swivel mount 120 turned to critical localisation by the anchor clamps 130 drive second housings 220 with respect to the first housing 210, these fins 222 can prop up the bottom of these depressions 212, rotate with respect to the first housing 210 with the restriction second housing 220.At this moment, if swivel mount 120 is slightly larger than the maximum start point of the second housing 220 with respect to the first housing 210 with respect to the maximum rotation angle of pedestal 110, anchor clamps 130 promptly can continue to provide thrust to the second housing 220 when the second housing 220 turns to critical localisation.Thus, the tester can simulate the action that the user opens folding-type electronic device 200 by test tool equipment 100, with the serviceable life of test stop mechanism in the lump when the effective folding number of times of test folding-type electronic device 200.
It should be noted that when swivel mount 120 with respect to pedestal 110 when the maximum rotation angle is rotated, second intermediate plate 134 can be subjected to stopping of the second housing 220 and slide towards the limiting section 136b of web member 136 along web member 136, with compression elastic piece 140.At this moment, because the elasticity coefficient (coefficient of elasticity) of elastic component 140 is a definite value, as long as the tester measures elastic component 140 compressed length, can come comparatively correctly to estimate the external force that bear these fins 222 and these 212 bottoms of caving in by Hooke's law (Hook ' s Law).
In addition, in the embodiment that other do not illustrate, web member 136 can also be a screw group.The screw group can be made up of a screw and a nut.At this moment, these limiting sections 136a, the one of 136b can be screw terminals, and these limiting sections 136a, another of 136b then can be the nut that is locked on the screw.Perhaps, the screw group can also be made up of a screw rod and two nuts.At this moment, these limiting sections 136a, 136b is the nut of the opposite end that is locked in screw rod respectively.
In sum, test tool equipment of the present invention not only can be used to test effective folding number of times of folding-type electronic device, the serviceable life that also can be used to test stop mechanism.In addition, when testing the serviceable life of stop mechanism with test tool equipment of the present invention, the external force that the tester more can come comparatively correctly to estimate stop mechanism and born by the elastic deformation of elastic component.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to qualification the present invention, any those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little modification and perfect, so protection scope of the present invention is when with being as the criterion that claims were defined.
