Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the stereogram of folding-type electronic device 1 of the present invention.Folding-type electronic device 1 can be a notebook computer.Folding-type electronic device 1 comprises first component 10, second component 20, rotary shaft mechanism 30(hingemechanism) and a stop mechanism 40.First component 10 can be a screen, and aforesaid screen can be a Touch Screen.Second component 20 can be a main frame, and it can comprise the various electronic component such as keyboard, touch-control version, Touch Screen, central processing unit (CPU), storage, host board.Rotary shaft mechanism 30 is arranged at first component 10, and second component 20 is articulated in rotary shaft mechanism 30, and therefore first component 10 can rotate relative to second component 20 via rotary shaft mechanism 30.
Fig. 2 is the stereogram of rotary shaft mechanism 30 of the present invention and stop mechanism 40.Fig. 3 is the exploded view of rotary shaft mechanism 30 of the present invention and stop mechanism 40.Rotary shaft mechanism 30 comprises pivot 31 and a limit element 32.Pivot 31 is arranged at first component 10, and comprises fixing part 311 and a pin-joint part 312.Fixing part 311 is connected to pin-joint part 312, and fixing part 311 and pin-joint part 312 all extend along a bearing of trend D1.
The sidewall of fixing part 311 has a tangent plane 3111, and first component 10 is fixed on fixing part 311.Pin-joint part 312 is a cylindrical-shaped structure, and second component 20 is articulated in pin-joint part 312, and therefore second component 20 can rotate relative to first component 10 via pivot 31.The pin-joint part 312 of pivot 31 can provide a torsion between first component 10 and second component 20, and when tilting relative to second component 20 to prevent first component 10, first component 10 drops fast.
Limit element 32 is arranged at pivot 31.Limit element 32 can be a gear, and has multiple teeth portion 321 and a fixed hole 322.Teeth portion 321 annular arrangement in the outer side wall of limit element 32, the sidewall of the form fit fixing part 311 of fixed hole 322, and fixed hole 322 has the plane 3221 of the tangent plane 3111 of a cooperation fixing part 311.Therefore, when fixing part 311 runs through limit element 32 along bearing of trend D1, limit element 32 can be fixed on fixing part 311.
Stop mechanism 40 comprises stop element 41, driving element 42 and a switch element 43.Stop element 41 is arranged at second component 20 movably.Stop element 41 can be a tooth row, and extends along a movement direction D2, and aforesaid movement direction D2 can be mutually vertical with bearing of trend D1.In addition, one end of stop element 41 has a blocked part 411.
Driving element 42 is in order to move stop element 41 along movement direction D2.Driving element 42 comprises motor 421 and a gear 422.Gear 422 is arranged at motor 421, and engages with stop element 41.Switch element 43 can be arranged at the side being adjacent to driving element 42 of second component 20, can the design of simplified wiring.In another embodiment, switch element 43 can be arranged at the side of the leading edge of first component 10, operates with person easy to use.
Switch element 43 is coupled to motor 421.Switch element 43 produces a drive singal according to a touch-control event, and driving element 42 makes motor 421 and gear 422 rotate after receiving drive singal.Because gear 422 engages with stop element 41, therefore, driving element 42 can move stop element 41 along movement direction D2, and to make stop element 41 and limit element 32 spaced, now, limit element 32 is rotatable.
And when switch element 43 stops producing drive singal, driving element 42 moves stop element 41, is connected to limit element 32 to make stop element 41.Now, the blocked part 411 of stop element 41 is sticked between two adjacent teeth portion 321 of limit element 32, rotates to limit limit element 32.
In another embodiment, stop mechanism 40 can not comprise switch element 43, driving element 42 can not comprise the element such as motor 421 and/or gear 422, and driving element 42 can comprise the elements such as connecting rod, and user directly can move stop element 41 via manually-operable driving element 42.
Fig. 4 is the sectional view of folding-type electronic device 1 of the present invention.Wherein first component 10 is covered on second component 20, and stop element 41 is positioned at a primary importance.Now, because switch element 43 is not triggered, the blocked part 411 that therefore driving element 42 controls stop element 41 is sticked between two adjacent teeth portion 321 of limit element 32, rotates to limit limit element 32.Because limit element 32 cannot rotate, therefore first component 10 cannot rotate relative to second component 20 easily.Can prevent when carrying foldable electronic equipment 1, first component 10 is opened relative to second component 20.
As shown in Figure 5, when user is for opening first component 10 relative to second component 20, user makes switch element 43 produce a drive singal by push switch unit 43, after driving element 42 receives drive singal, mobile stop element 41 with the two adjacent teeth portion 321 making the blocked part 411 of stop element 41 depart from limit element 32, and makes stop element 41 be positioned at a second place.Now, because stop element 41 and limit element 32 are spaced, therefore limit element 32 is rotatable relative to second component 20, and first component 10 can rotate (as shown in Figure 6) relative to second component 20.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, when user rotates first component 10, only provide suitable torsion by the pin-joint part 312 of pivot 31, therefore user can rotate first component 10 easily.
As shown in Figure 7, when first component 10 is turned to an angle of inclination relative to second component 20 by user, user can release-push unit 43, and now, switch element 43 stops producing drive singal.Driving element 42 moves stop element 41 and moves to primary importance by the second place, is connected to limit element 32 to make stop element 41.
Because the blocked part 411 of stop element 41 is sticked between two adjacent teeth portion 321 of limit element 32, stop element 41 limits limit element 32 and rotates, and can maintain the relative position between first component 10 and second component 20 whereby.When user carries out the operations such as touch-control to first component 10, although first component 10 is applied in larger pressure, first component 10 also can maintain identical angle of inclination.
In sum, folding-type electronic device of the present invention abuts by stop element the angle of inclination that limit element maintains first component, carries out the operations such as touch-control for user for first component.When stop element departs from limit element, first component can rotate relative to second component by user like a cork.
Though the present invention discloses as above with various embodiment, but it is only exemplary reference and is not used to limit scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, can make variation and the modification of part.Therefore above-described embodiment be not used to limit scope of the present invention, the scope that protection scope of the present invention should define depending on appending claims is as the criterion.
