In another embodiment, it may be unnecessary to switch 11, for example, motor 12 can be by folding-type electronic device 1 Process the chip (not shown) detection second component 1b angle of inclination relative to first component 1a and be controlled.
Gear train 13 includes one first worm screw 131(worm gear), one first spur gear 132(spur gear), one Two spur gear 133 and one second worm screws 134.First worm screw 131 is connected with motor 12, and rotates with an axle center AX1, aforementioned Axle center AX1 extend along a first direction D1.First spur gear 132 engages with the first worm screw 131, and rotates with an axle center AX2. Second spur gear 133 engages with the first spur gear 132, and rotates with an axle center AX3.Second worm screw 134 and the second spur gear 133 It is coaxially disposed, and engages with travel mechanism 20.AX2, AX3 extend along second direction D2 for aforementioned axle center, and first direction D1 hangs down Straight in second direction D2.
By the structure of aforesaid gears group 13, drive mechanism 10 can be made to be arranged in the folding-type electronic device 1 of slimming, Additionally, aforesaid gear train 13, only one embodiment, and it is not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
Travel mechanism 20 includes tooth row 21 and a retaining element 22, and tooth row 21 is engaged in the second worm screw of gear train 13 134, tooth row 21 has fixes groove 211, and can rise or fall by D2 in a second direction.Retaining element 22 is a loop configuration, It is articulated in pivot 30.Retaining element 22 has a holding section 221, is fixed on tooth row 21.
Pivot 30 includes that an articulated section 31 and is arranged at the fixed part 32 of articulated section 31, articulated section 31 and fixed part 32 extend along a third direction D3, and wherein first direction D1, second direction D2 and third direction D3 are mutually perpendicular to.Second component 1b is fixed on fixed part 32, and retaining element 22 is socketed and is articulated in articulated section 31, and thus second component 1b can be relative to first Parts 1a rotates.
In the present embodiment, when motor 12 rotates forward, tooth row 21 D2 in a second direction is driven to rise, so that moving machine Structure 20 and pivot 30 are positioned at a primary importance, when motor 12 rotates backward, drive tooth row 21 D2 in a second direction to decline, with Travel mechanism 20 and pivot 30 is made to be positioned at a second position.Control motor 12 to rotate forward, rotate backward or stop operating Mechanism, and the emphasis of non-invention, and for being familiar with known to the people of this art, do not add explanation in this.
As shown in Figure 4, first component 1a has a front S1, and the back side S2 that in contrast to front S 1.When second When part 1b is covered on front S1, travel mechanism 20 and pivot 30 are positioned at primary importance.Now pivot 30 exceedes front S1, therefore Second component 1b can be allowed to have enough spaces to be covered on front S1.
As it is shown in figure 5, when second component 1b is positioned at an angle of inclination A1 relative to first component 1a, travel mechanism 20 with And pivot 30 is positioned at a primary importance, now, folding-type electronic device 1 can be used by user as a notebook computer.It After, drive mechanism 10 can drive the second position that travel mechanism 20 and pivot 30 are moved to Fig. 6 by primary importance, or Moved to primary importance by the second position.In this embodiment, aforesaid angle of inclination A1 can be between 90 degree to 270 degree.
In detail, the inclination to Fig. 5 is moved as second component 1b by the position of the front S1 being covered on first component 1a During angle A 1, drive mechanism 10 starts, so that the second worm screw 134 of drive mechanism 10 rotates.Second worm screw 134 drives moving machine Tooth row 21 D2 in a second direction of structure 20 declines, and drives retaining element 22 and pivot 30 to be moved to the by primary importance in the lump Two positions.
As shown in Figure 6, Figure 7, when travel mechanism 20 and pivot 30 are positioned at a second position, pivot 30 exceedes the back side S2, so can allow second component 1b have enough spaces to be rotated further, to allow second component 1b can be covered on first component 1a's Back side S2, now folding-type electronic device 1 can be used as a panel computer and uses, also or make second component 1b be positioned at such as Fig. 7 institute The dorsal part of the first component 1a shown, now the front S1 of first component 1a can be positioned over as in the planes such as desktop by user, with User is facilitated to carry out touch-control for second component 1b.Aforesaid dorsal part is corresponding corresponding to the positive side of back side S2, first component 1a In front S1.
In like manner, when second component 1b is by being covered on the position of back side S2 of first component 1a or being positioned at as shown in Figure 7 The dorsal part of first component 1a moves the angle of inclination A1(to Fig. 5 or another angle of inclination between 90 degree to 270 degree) time, Drive mechanism 10 starts, so that the second worm screw 134 of drive mechanism 10 rotates.Second worm screw 134 drives the tooth of travel mechanism 20 Row 21 D2 in a second direction rises, and drives retaining element 22 and pivot 30 mobile by the second position (as shown in Figure 6) in the lump To a primary importance (as shown in Figure 5).
Due between first component 1a and second component 1b only with pivot 30 pivot joint, therefore user can be the most smooth Second component 1b is rotated by ground relative to first component 1a.
In another embodiment, drive mechanism 10 and travel mechanism 20 can simplify further, such as, can reduce gear train Element included by 13, or drive mechanism 10 may not include switch 11 and motor 12, and travel mechanism 20 also may not include tooth Row 21, drive mechanism 10 can be made up of elements such as connecting rods, and user profit manually pulls drive mechanism 10 with movement The retaining element 22 of travel mechanism 20, so that travel mechanism 20 and pivot 30 D2 in a second direction rise to primary importance Or drop to the second position.
In sum, the simple in construction of the turning gear of the folding-type electronic device of the present invention, decrease the one-tenth in production This, and screen successfully can be overturn by user by turning gear, improves the convenience in use.
Though the present invention is disclosed above with various embodiments, but it is only exemplary reference and is not used to limit the model of the present invention Enclose, any those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, when change and the change that can carry out many. Therefore above-described embodiment is not limited to the scope of the present invention, and protection scope of the present invention is when limiting regarding appended claims Fixed in the range of standard.
