Herein, the housing parts for limiting different ontologies using first and second, wherein first shell is respectively positioned on corresponding ontology The opposite side of the second shell of (display device or pedestal).Obviously, the application is claimed in the restriction of " first and second " Technical solution and do not constitute a limitation.
In order to which connecting elements used by this programme is described in detail, please also refer to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, wherein Fig. 5 is this reality The overall structure diagram of connecting elements described in example is applied, Fig. 6 is the assembly perspective view of the explosion of connecting elements shown in Fig. 5.
Shown in Fig. 5, connecting elements 30 includes four connection units 300, it is whole in can bending switch on two operating attitudes En plaque, more can smoothly carry out pose adjustment;Flexible housing 350, and elastic covering are housed in the outside mask of connection unit The both ends of body 350 are connected with display device 10 and pedestal 20 respectively, specific as shown in Figure 1.Positioned at the company of the first operating attitude Order member 300 is in the first bending-like, as shown in fig. 7, the first side of the first side of its first connecting pin and its second connection end Face is opposite, at this point, the second shell 12 of display device 10 is bonded with the first shell 21 of pedestal 20;Positioned at the second operating attitude Connection unit 300 be in the second bending-like, as shown in figure 8, the of the second side of its first connecting pin and its second connection end Two side faces are opposite, at this point, the first shell 11 of display device 10 is bonded with the second shell 22 of pedestal 20.Based on the connection structure Part 20, when electronic equipment two using switching between mode when, can bending connection unit 300 operating attitude conversion can be true Smooth operation in the opening of display device 10 or closing course is protected, specifically please also refer to Fig. 9, the figure shows display screen dresses Set the 10 rotary motion trace R relative to pedestal 20.
Similarly, the side for limiting different connecting pins using first and second herein, with clear its dynamic fit relationship of restriction, Wherein, first side is respectively positioned on the opposite side of the second side of corresponding connecting pin, it should be understood that mentioned herein " first, Two " restriction technical solution claimed for the application does not constitute a limitation equally.
It should be noted that the setting quantity of connection unit 300 can be according to specific for a connecting elements 30 Product master-plan is set, be specifically as follows one or in addition to four other are a plurality of;For example, institute in Fig. 7, Fig. 8 Show that connecting elements 30 is made of three connection units.On the basis of identical torque, the setting quantity of connection unit 300 with connect The thickness of unit 300 is inversely proportional, that is to say, that the setting relatively large number of words of quantity can obtain relatively thin outer dimension, meet The lightening designer trends of complete machine.
Further, the present embodiment provides that a kind of design of structure is more succinct, reasonable optimization side for connection unit 300 Case.
As shown, each connection unit 300 includes parallel arrangement of two connections subelement: the first connection subelement 310 and second connect subelement 320, i.e., are both arranged parallel from the first connecting pin to second connection end.
Wherein, the first connection subelement 310 includes sequentially forming be rotatably assorted the first secondary rotating member 311, central rotational Part 312 and the second rotating member 313 are formed and are rotatably assorted between two secondary rotating members, and one can drive another one to rotate.Such as figure Shown, the first connecting pin 3111 for connecting with display device 10 is set to the first rotating member 311, is used for and pedestal 20 The second connection end 3131 of connection is set on the second rotating member 313.Certainly, the structure type of connecting pin is not limited to institute in figure The rectangular section shown, in fact, its structure type according to corresponding connecting pin and display device 10 and pedestal 20 specifically need into Row setting, is reliably connected as long as can be realized.
Wherein, the second connection subelement 320 includes forming be rotatably assorted secondary third rotating member 321 and the 4th rotating member 322, one can drive another one to rotate;Meanwhile third rotating member 321 respectively with the first rotating member 311 and central rotational part 312 one end is hinged, and the 4th rotating member 322 is hinged with the other end of central rotational part 312 and the second rotating member 313 respectively.By This, can successively successively be driven each rotating member to rotate relative to the other end, and hinged relationship is deposited by each hinged relationship by one end In the difference for being suitable for adjacent rotated part rotation amplitude, it is ensured that movement is smooth.
Specifically please also refer to Figure 10, the figure shows the connecting elements to cut from the first operating attitude to the second operating attitude Transformation schematic diagram, in figure I arrange shown in each width schematic diagram from B shown in Fig. 5 to formation, in figure II arrange shown in each width schematic diagram it is equal From C shown in Fig. 5 to formation.
It is ensured that the arrangement of each rotating member peripheral surface engaging tooth is not quite similar.Wherein, the first rotating member 311 It is only inner end cloth tooth with the second rotating member 313, central rotational part 312 needs both ends cloth tooth, third rotating member 321 and the 4th turn Moving part 322 is also only inner end cloth tooth.Certainly, third rotating member 321 and the 4th rotating member 322 shown in figure are both ends Cloth tooth, but based on its working principle it is found that the engaging tooth of only 322 inner end of third rotating member 321 and the 4th rotating member participates in It is rotatably assorted;The basic goal of such setting is, it is possible to reduce the quantity of part type in component, control integrated artistic at This.
It illustrates, can hingedly be realized using different structure type between each rotating member, such as rivets, Can using be plugged in as shown in the figure using articulated shaft 340 correspondingly rotate formed in part it is corresponding hinged, it is preferable that each connection Between the identical rotating member of unit 300 it is hinged using same root articulated shaft 340 formation, so set, convenient for part processing and The technique of assembling, controllable product cost.
In addition, in order to enable keeping stable opposite under the traditional notebook operation mode shown in Fig. 2 of display device 10 Position, can be by adjusting the pivoting friction torque realization relatively rotated between part.For example, each articulated shaft 340 and each rotating member Inner hole between be transition fit, to form rotating member relative to the pivoting friction torque between articulated shaft.For another example along hinge The axial direction of spindle 340 has pretightning force between each rotating member, with the pivoting friction torque formed between each rotating member binding face; Specifically, articulated shaft 340 can be bolt shape shown in figure, and be threadedly engaged axial turn of adjusting by nut and its extension end Pretightning force between moving part.
As previously mentioned, its thickness can be thinned in the increase that connection unit 300 sets number on the basis of identical torque. Further, it is also possible to make improvements optimization from another angle, thickness equally can be effectively controlled.Specifically referring to Figure 11, the figure Show the axonometric schematic diagram of connecting elements described in second embodiment.
This programme is identical with the main composition of first embodiment, and difference is only that: each connection unit 300 is also added One superpositing unit 330, the superpositing unit 330 include the first superposition rotating member 331 and the second superposition rotating member 332.
Wherein, first superposition rotating member 331 be set in the first connection subelement 310, this first superposition rotating member 331 with Adjacent rotated part in first connection subelement 310 is respectively formed the pair that is rotatably assorted, and participates in the successively transmitting of torque, Jin Ercong Another direction load sharing thickness thinning size;Equally, the first superposition rotating member 331 needs to connect subelement 320 with side second Adjacent rotated part be respectively articulated with.
Wherein, second superposition rotating member 332 be set in the second connection subelement 320, this second superposition rotating member 332 with Adjacent rotated part in second connection subelement 320 is respectively formed the pair that is rotatably assorted, and participates in the successively transmitting of torque, Jin Ercong Another direction load sharing thickness thinning size;Second superposition rotating member 332 is also required to connect in subelement 310 with side first Adjacent rotated part is respectively articulated with.
Obviously, the cooperation principle and 312 phase of central rotational part of the first superposition rotating member 331 and the second superposition rotating member 332 Together, it is therefore desirable to both ends cloth tooth.In addition, based on the arrangement connection relationship it was determined that the particular number of superpositing unit 300 can also To be set as needed, and it is not limited to be set as a superpositing unit as shown in the figure;As a result, along en plaque connecting elements Breadth, this programme on the one hand can be by increasing by 300 load sharing of connection unit, and on the other hand each connection unit 300 can lead to 340 load sharing of increase superpositing unit is crossed, the jitter phenomenon that touching display screen device 10 is likely to form can be optimized significantly.
Based on the functional requirement for driving rotation between rotating member, the pair that is respectively rotatably assorted can be formed in two rotating member peripheries The engaging tooth on surface;Or such design, the pair that is rotatably assorted are formed in two rotating member periphery circular arc rubbing surfaces, specifically It can realize that one drives another one rotation by larger pivoting friction, specifically 2 and Figure 13 referring to Figure 1;Wherein, Figure 12 The axonometric schematic diagram of connecting elements described in three embodiments, Figure 13 are the assembly perspective view of the explosion of connecting elements shown in Figure 12.
