In a preferred embodiment, the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, connector 32 and the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 can form, and can be formed as such as serpentine shape.First hinge shaft sleeve 31, connector 32 and the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 can be made up of the material with predetermined elasticity, such as, and such as stainless metal or such as rigid plastics nonmetal.
Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B illustrates the operation of hinge means 30.Specifically, the operation of hinge means 30 when Fig. 2 A illustrates that the electronic equipment 100 shown in Fig. 1 is opened, the operation of hinge means 30 when Fig. 2 B illustrates that electronic equipment 100 closes.
As shown in figure 1 and 2 a, when opening electronic equipment 100, the first noumenon 10 turns clockwise relative to the second body 20, drives the first hinge axis 34 to have the trend turned clockwise relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31.As shown in Figure 2 A, when the first hinge axis 34 turns clockwise relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, because the first hinge axis 34 is to the frictional force of the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, first opening portion of the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 is opened along the direction shown in arrow A, thus the gap between the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 and the first hinge axis 34 becomes greatly, the torsion of the first hinge diminishes.On the other hand, when opening the first noumenon 10, connector 32 is subject to the power in direction roughly as shown by arrow B.The second opening portion due to the second hinge is positioned at the side contrary with the first opening portion of the first hinge of connector 32, so the second opening portion of the second hinge diminishes along the direction extruding shown in arrow B, thus the gap smaller between the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 and the second hinge axis 35, the torsion of the second hinge becomes large.Therefore, when opening the first noumenon 10, the torsion of the first hinge is less than the torsion of the second hinge, so the first hinge rotates, and the second hinge non rotating.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2b, when closed electronic equipment 100, the first noumenon 10 is rotated counterclockwise relative to the second body 20, the first hinge axis 34 is driven to have the trend be rotated counterclockwise relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, as shown in the dotted arrow in the first hinge axis 34.When the first hinge axis 34 turns clockwise relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, because the first hinge axis 34 is to the frictional force of the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, first opening portion of the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 is reduced along the direction shown in arrow C, thus the gap smaller between the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 and the first hinge axis 34, the torsion of the first hinge becomes large.On the other hand, when closed the first noumenon 10, connector 32 is subject to the power in direction roughly as shown by arrow D, so the second opening portion of the second hinge is opened further along the direction shown in arrow B, thus the gap between the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 and the second hinge axis 35 becomes greatly, the torsion of the second hinge diminishes.Therefore, when closed the first noumenon 10, the torsion of the first hinge is greater than the torsion of the second hinge, so the first hinge keeps non rotating, and the second hinge rotates.
Although described above is the first and second hinge shaft sleeves to there are the first and second opening portions respectively and the first and second opening portions are positioned at the one exemplary embodiment of connector 32 two opposite sides, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that and the present invention is not limited thereto.Those skilled in the art also can adopt other designs to provide different torsion to the first and second hinges.Such as, anisotropy friction plate can be provided between the hinge axis of the first and second hinges and hinge shaft sleeve, this anisotropy friction plate produces less frictional force when axle center is rotated counterclockwise relative to axle sleeve, and produces larger frictional force when axle center turns clockwise relative to axle sleeve.Like this, when opening the first noumenon 10 relative to the second body 20, first hinge axis 31 turns clockwise relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve, and the second hinge axis 35 has relative to the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 trend be rotated counterclockwise, so the torsion of the first hinge is less than the torsion of the second hinge.On the contrary, when closing the first noumenon 10 relative to the second body 20, second hinge axis 35 turns clockwise relative to the second hinge shaft sleeve, and the first hinge axis 34 has relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 trend be rotated counterclockwise, so the torsion of the second hinge is less than the torsion of the first hinge.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the first and second hinges also can adopt other Machine Designs to provide different torsion in the rotary course of open and close.
The operating process of the open and close of electronic equipment 100 is described in detail below with reference to Fig. 3 A-3L.Should note, here the embodiment having the first and second opening portions respectively based on the first and second hinge shaft sleeves describes the switching action process of electronic equipment 100, but adopt other structures with for other embodiments providing different torsion for hinge means, the embodiment of the employing anisotropy friction plate such as exemplified above, the operating process shown in its operating process and Fig. 3 A-3L can be substantially similar.Fig. 3 A-3G illustrates that the process that the first noumenon 10 of electronic equipment 100 and the second body 20 are opened, Fig. 3 G-3L illustrate the first noumenon 10 of electronic equipment 100 and the closed process of the second body 20.In order to illustrate conveniently, eliminate the first noumenon 10 and second body 20 of electronic equipment 100 in Fig. 3 A-3L, Fig. 3 A-3L can be understood by composition graphs 1.
With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 A, the first noumenon 10 of electronic equipment 100 and the second body 20 are in initial closed state.When user needs to use electronic equipment 100, the first noumenon 10 can be raised.Now, as described above with reference to Fig. 2 A, the torsion of the first hinge becomes the torsion being less than the second hinge, and therefore the first noumenon 10 drives the first hinge axis 34 to turn clockwise, and the second hinge keeps non rotating, as shown in Figure 3 B.
Next, the first hinge axis 34 can continue to rotate relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31, as shown in Figure 3 C, rotates to the first angle, as shown in Figure 3 D always.Such as, the first hinge axis 34 can rotate 180 ° relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31.At the first angle place, for some reason, such as, because the back of the body edge of the first noumenon 10 abuts to hinge means 30, so the first hinge can not continue to rotate again.
Although this sentences 180 ° for example and describes the first angle, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that and the present invention is not limited thereto.According to the first noumenon 10 and the edge of the second body 20 and the design of hinge means 30, the first angle can the scope of such as 90 ° to 330 °.
At the first angle place, the first hinge can not continue to rotate again, and the torsion of the second hinge is greater than the first hinge as previously mentioned, so user can increase the power of rotating the first noumenon 10 a little, thus makes the second hinge start to rotate.As shown in FIGURE 3 E, the power that user applies makes the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 of the second hinge turn clockwise around the second hinge axis 35 being connected to the second body 20.In other words, the second hinge axis 35 of the second hinge is rotated counterclockwise relative to the second hinge shaft sleeve 33.As illustrated in Figure 3 F, the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 of the second hinge is around the second hinge axis 35 half-twist.As shown in Figure 3 G, the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 of the second hinge continues rotation around the second hinge axis 35 and reaches 180 °.Thus the first noumenon 10 completes the rotation of 360 ° relative to the second body 20.Now, notebook 100 can realize the using forestland of similar tablet PC.
As previously mentioned, although the first angle illustrating the first hinge rotation is above 180 °, the residue angle then in the second hinge rotating 360 degrees, the present invention is not limited thereto.First angle can the scope of such as 90 ° to 330 °, the residue angle then in the second hinge rotating 360 degrees.
The closing course of following description notebook 100.Time closed, user applies external force makes the first noumenon 10 be rotated counterclockwise relative to the second body 20.Now, as described in above with reference to Fig. 2 B, the first hinge axis 34 has relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 trend be rotated counterclockwise, and the first opening portion of the first hinge shaft sleeve 31 is diminished, thus the torsion of the first hinge increases; On the contrary, the second hinge axis 35 has relative to the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 trend turned clockwise, and make the second opening portion of the second hinge shaft sleeve 33 become large, thus the torsion of the second hinge reduces.In this case, the torsion of the first hinge is greater than the torsion of the second hinge, thus the second hinge rotates, and the first hinge non rotating, as shown in figure 3h.
Continue with reference to Fig. 3 I, the second hinge can rotate to the position of aforesaid first angle always, and now the state of hinge means 30 is substantially identical with the state shown in Fig. 3 D.At the first angle place, because such as hinge means 30 abuts to the upper edge of the second body 20, so the second hinge can not continue to rotate again.Now, user can apply larger power a little, makes the first hinge start to rotate.That is, the first hinge axis 34 is made to start to be rotated counterclockwise relative to the first hinge shaft sleeve.
Next, as shown in Fig. 3 J, 3K and 3L, the first hinge rotates such as 180 °, thus the first noumenon 10 and the second body 20 are returned to initial closure state.
As mentioned above, hinge means 100 can realize the rotation of 360 °.And, due to torsion different between the first hinge and the second hinge in rotary course, so make the first hinge and the second hinge to rotate in different processes respectively.Specifically, when opening, the torsion due to the first hinge is less than the second hinge, so the first hinge first turns, turns after the second hinge; Time closed, on the contrary, the torsion due to the second hinge is less than the first hinge, so the second hinge first turns, turns after the first hinge.Visible, rotary course almost symmetry during open and close.
Fig. 4 illustrates the electronic equipment such as notebook 200 according to another one exemplary embodiment of the present invention.Notebook 200 shown in Fig. 4 is substantially identical with the notebook 100 shown in Fig. 1, except as follows.Specifically, when the notebook 100 shown in Fig. 1 is in initial closed state, the first noumenon 10 and the second body 20 are in the first side, opening portion of hinge means, are namely positioned at the side contrary with the second opening portion of hinge means.But when the notebook 200 shown in Fig. 4 is in initial closed state, the first noumenon 10 and the second body 20 are positioned at the side contrary with the first opening portion of hinge means, are namely positioned at the second side, opening portion of hinge means.Like this, different from notebook 100, notebook 200 is when opening operation, the torsion of the first hinge be connected with the first noumenon 10 ' is larger, and the torsion of the second hinge be connected with the second body 20 ' is less, so the second hinge first turns, turn after the first hinge.When notebook 200 closes, then the torsion of the first hinge diminishes, and the torsion of the second hinge increases, so the first hinge first turns, turns after the second hinge.
As mentioned above, by adopting hinge means of the present invention, electronic equipment can realize the rotation of 360 °, and in rotary course, provide different torsion.In addition, rotary course during open and close can almost symmetry.
Although describe some one exemplary embodiment of the present invention for notebook above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention also may be used on mobile phone and other electronic equipments.
Although illustrate and describe the present invention particularly with reference to preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that and can carry out various change in form and details and not depart from thought of the present invention and scope.Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered as being only illustrative rather than restrictive, and scope of the present invention is only defined by claims and equivalent thereof.
