All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 to 9, an embodiment of the invention provides a hinge, which includes a holder 400, a first shaft 100, a second shaft 200 and a linkage assembly, wherein the first shaft 100 is used for being fixedly connected with a first body of an electronic device; the first shaft 100 is inserted into the first mounting hole of the holder 400 to be rotatable about its axis; the second shaft 200 is used for being fixedly connected with a second body of the electronic device, and the second shaft 200 can be inserted into the second mounting hole of the holder 400 in a manner of rotating around the axis of the second shaft; the second shaft 200 is arranged parallel to the first shaft 100; the linkage assembly is connected with the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 respectively; when the first shaft 100 rotates around its own axis along the first direction, the first connection surface of the first shaft 100 drives the second connection surface of the second shaft 200 to rotate through the linkage device, and the second connection shaft 302 rotates around its own axis along the opposite direction of the first direction; the first connecting surface is a surface of the first shaft 100 connected to the linkage assembly; the second connecting surface is the surface of the second shaft 200 to which the linkage assembly is connected.
When the hinge is applied to electronic equipment, the rotation direction of the first body which is opened relative to the second body is set to be the first direction, correspondingly, when the first body drives the first shaft 100 to rotate along the first direction, the linkage assembly drives the second shaft 200 to rotate along the opposite direction of the first direction through the connection relation between the first connection surface and the second connection surface, so that the second body rotates along the opposite direction of the first direction, the actual opening angle of the first body and the actual opening angle of the second body are larger than the rotation angle of the first body, the two bodies of the electronic equipment are quickly opened, and the hinge is convenient for a user to use.
On the basis, in order to enable the two bodies of the electronic device to be quickly closed, the hinge is configured such that when the first shaft 100 rotates in the opposite direction of the first direction, the first connection surface of the second shaft 200 drives the second connection surface of the second shaft 200 to rotate through the linkage device, and the second shaft 200 rotates around its axis in the first direction. In this embodiment, when the first body is closed for the second body, the first body rotates, and the linkage assembly can drive the second connecting surface of the second shaft 200 to rotate under the action of the first shaft 100, so that the second body rotates in the opposite direction, the actual closing angle of the first body and the second body is larger than the rotating angle of the first body, quick closing can be realized, and the use by a user is facilitated.
Preferably, the first connecting surface is an end surface of the first shaft 100, and the second connecting surface is an end surface of the second shaft 200. The first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 are arranged side by side for connecting with two bodies of a notebook computer, respectively, and the first connection surface and the second connection surface are arranged as end surfaces of different sides of the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200, respectively, according to a specific structure of the linkage assembly, but are arranged as end surfaces of the same sides of the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200, respectively, for saving space and facilitating assembly.
Correspondingly, in the above-mentioned hinge, the linkage subassembly sets up to include:
a first connecting shaft 301, a first end of the first connecting shaft 301 being disposed at the first connecting surface;
a second connection shaft 302, a first end of the second connection shaft 302 being disposed on the second connection face;
a connecting rod 303, wherein the connecting rod 303 connects the first connecting shaft 301 and the second connecting shaft 302;
wherein the linkage assembly is used to simultaneously rotate the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 about their axes in opposite directions. In the hinge, the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 rotate around respective axes at the same time, namely, when the first body is driven to rotate, the second body rotates in the opposite direction at the same time under the action of the linkage assembly, the opposite rotation of the second body is not delayed, the second body stops immediately when a user rotates the first body to a proper angle, the time for the user to wait for the second body to rotate independently to stop is saved, and the user can use the electronic equipment conveniently.
Preferably, the linkage assembly is configured to rotate the second shaft 200 in the same angle about the respective axes in opposite directions simultaneously with the first shaft 100. When the hinge is applied, when the first body rotates by an angle a, the actual opening angle of the first body and the second body is 2 a.
In the application process of the above-mentioned linkage assembly, the first connecting surface drives the first connecting shaft 301 to rotate, the first connecting shaft 301 drives the second connecting shaft 302 to rotate through the connecting rod 303, and the second connecting shaft 302 drives the second connecting surface to rotate at the same time.
As can be understood by those skilled in the art, a critical point exists in the process that the driving shaft drives the driven shaft to rotate through the connecting rod, when the connecting rod moves to this critical point, and the driving shaft continues to rotate along the previous movement trend, the connecting rod may drive the driven shaft to continue to rotate in the previous rotation direction, and possibly also drive the driven shaft to rotate in a direction opposite to the previous rotation direction, particularly in the above-described embodiment, when the first connecting shaft 301 drives the second connecting shaft 302 to rotate to the critical position through the connecting rod 303, the second connecting shaft 302 may be rotated in the direction opposite to the previous movement trend, which causes the second shaft 200 to rotate around its axis in the same direction as the first shaft 100, and the two bodies of the electronic device cannot be opened and closed quickly, so in the hinge provided in the above embodiment, when the first shaft 100 rotates around its axis in the first direction, the connecting rod 303 moves along a first preset track; when the first shaft 100 rotates around its axis in the opposite direction of the first direction, the connecting rod 303 performs a reverse motion along the first predetermined trajectory.
In the hinge, the first connecting shaft 301 is provided to include a first shaft pin, the axis of the first shaft pin is parallel to the axis of the first shaft 100, and the first shaft pin is deviated from the axis of the first shaft 100; the second connecting shaft 302 is provided to include a second shaft pin whose axis is parallel to the axis of the second shaft 200 and which is offset from the axial center of the second shaft 200; the two ends of the connecting rod 303 are respectively sleeved on the first shaft pin and the second shaft pin. Obviously, in the above embodiment, the first shaft pin and the first shaft 100, the second shaft pin and the second shaft 200 constitute crankshafts, respectively, and the two crankshafts are connected to the connecting rod 303, respectively, to form a crankshaft connecting rod mechanism.
In this embodiment, the linkage assembly defines the motion profile of the link 303 by a link profile stop 304. The connecting rod track limiting nail 304 is relatively fixed with the holder 400 (i.e. the connecting rod track limiting nail 304 and the holder 400 are always kept relatively still), the connecting rod 303 is provided with a limiting hole 331, and the connecting rod track limiting nail 304 is matched with the limiting hole 331, so that the connecting rod 303 moves along the first track or moves along the opposite direction of the first track. Specifically, the connecting rod track limiting pin 304 may be directly fixed to the holder 400, or may be fixed to a supporting frame 305 respectively sleeved on the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200
In the hinge, the first connecting shaft 301 may also be a crankshaft, and includes a connecting plate, and a third shaft pin and a fourth shaft pin respectively inserted into two ends of the connecting plate, where an axis of the third shaft pin is parallel to an axis of the fourth shaft pin; one end of the third shaft pin is the first end of the first connecting shaft 301, and the first end is disposed at the first connecting surface; the axis of the third shaft pin is parallel to the axis of the first shaft 100, and the third shaft pin is deviated from the axial center of the first shaft 100;
correspondingly, the second connecting shaft 302 is provided with the same structure as the first connecting shaft 301, a third shaft pin of the second connecting shaft 302 is arranged on the second connecting surface, the axis of the third shaft pin of the second connecting shaft 302 is parallel to the axis of the second shaft 200, and the third shaft pin of the second connecting shaft 302 deviates from the axis of the second shaft 200;
the number of the connecting rods 303 is two, wherein two ends of the first connecting rod 331 are respectively sleeved on the third shaft pins of the two connecting shafts, and two ends of the second connecting rod 332 are respectively sleeved on the fourth shaft pins of the two connecting shafts;
when the first shaft 100 rotates around its own axis in the first direction, the first link 331 and the second link 332 respectively move along the first preset track corresponding thereto; when the first shaft 100 rotates around its own axis in the opposite direction of the first direction, the first link 331 and the second link 332 move in the opposite direction of the first predetermined trajectory corresponding thereto, respectively.
In this embodiment, the first connecting shaft 301 and the second connecting shaft 302 are respectively configured as crankshafts, and the two connecting shafts are connected by the first connecting rod 331 and the second connecting rod 332, so that when the first connecting rod 331 reaches a critical position, the second connecting shaft 302 moves under the action of the second connecting rod 332, and when the second connecting rod 332 reaches the critical position, the second connecting shaft 302 moves under the action of the first connecting rod 331, thereby ensuring that the two connecting rods move along the first preset track or the opposite direction of the first preset track respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection relationship between the third shaft pin, the fourth shaft pin and the connecting plate, the connection relationship between the crankshaft and the first shaft 100 or the second shaft 200, and the connection relationship between the crankshaft and the connecting rod may be as follows:
① the third axle pin and the fourth axle pin are respectively connected with the connecting board, the third axle pin is connected with the first axle 100 or the second axle 200, the two ends of the first connecting rod can be respectively sleeved on the third axle pin of the two connecting axles in a rotating way, the two ends of the second connecting rod can be respectively sleeved on the fourth axle pin of the two connecting axles in a rotating way;

In the three connection modes, two or more parts fixedly connected with each other can be arranged into an integral structure so as to be convenient to manufacture, and the fixed connection can be realized by adopting the modes of welding and fixing part connection.
In the hinge provided by the above embodiment, the linkage assembly may further include a flexible connecting member 310, and both ends of the flexible connecting member 310 are respectively fixed to the end surface of the first shaft 100 and the end surface of the second shaft 200; when the first shaft 100 rotates around its own axis, the first shaft 100 transmits a torque force to the second shaft 200 through the flexible connecting member 310, and drives the second shaft 200 to rotate around its own axis. Specifically, the flexible connecting member 310 is curved to form an arc, and when the first shaft 100 rotates around its own axis, the flexible connecting member 310 is driven to twist along its own axis, so as to drive the second shaft 200 to rotate around its own axis in a direction opposite to that of the first shaft 100.
In this embodiment, the flexible connecting member 310 may be a flexible shaft made of a flexible material, or a flexible shaft made of a plurality of continuous wires, or a flexible shaft made of a plurality of connecting joints connected in sequence.
Further, in order to ensure that the flexible connector 310 only twists along its own axis when the first shaft 100 rotates around its own axis, the hinge is further provided with a supporting block 320 respectively sleeved on the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200, a slot is formed on the supporting block 320, and the flexible connector 310 is clamped in the slot. The slot may be configured to accommodate the entire flexible connector 310, but in order to reduce the damping of the flexible connector 310 during twisting around its own axis, so as to drive the second shaft 200 to rotate around its own axis by a large angle, the slot is preferably configured to be only in snap fit with the middle of the flexible connector 310. In the hinge provided in the present embodiment, the angle of rotation of the second shaft 200 around its own axis by the flexible connection member is close to the angle of rotation of the first shaft 100 around its own axis.
Of course, in the hinge, the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface may also be disposed as the outer peripheral surfaces of the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200, respectively, and correspondingly, the linkage assembly may be disposed as two gears that are respectively fixed outside the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 in a sleeved manner and are engaged with each other.
Preferably, the above embodiment provides a hinge in which the first shaft 100 is arranged to be able to maintain any angle of rotation about its axis.
Correspondingly, when the first shaft 100 is kept at the first angle of rotation around the axis thereof, the second shaft 200 is kept at the second angle of rotation around the axis thereof, the second angle corresponds to the first angle (that is, the second angle is the angle of rotation of the second shaft 200 around the axis of the second shaft 200, which is driven by the first shaft 100 through the linkage assembly when the first shaft 100 rotates around the axis thereof), and the first angle and the second angle are respectively a positive value and a negative value.
In the above hinge, additional damping members may be provided to maintain the first and second shafts 100 and 200 at the above first and second angles, respectively. Preferably, the cage 400 is a damping cage 400 for providing damping to the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 at the first angle and the second angle, respectively.
Specifically, damping members such as rubber rings may be disposed in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole of the damping holder 400, but in order to improve the reliability and the service life of the hinge, the following structure is adopted:
the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 are respectively provided with a shaft shoulder and a locking nut 502, the side surface of the retainer 400 is abutted against the shaft shoulder and the locking nut 502 under the combined action of the shaft shoulder and the locking nut 502, when the first shaft 100 rotates to a first angle, the part of the retainer 400 contacted with the shaft shoulder of the first shaft 100 and the locking nut 502 provides static friction damping for the first shaft 100, so that the first shaft 100 is kept at the first angle, correspondingly, the part of the retainer 400 contacted with the shaft shoulder of the second shaft 200 and the locking nut 502 provides static friction damping for the second shaft 200, so that the second shaft 200 is kept at the second angle. Further, in order to prevent the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200 from being unable to rotate around their axes due to the excessive damping provided by the retainer 400, disc springs are respectively sleeved on the first shaft 100 and the second shaft 200, the disc springs are positioned between the shaft shoulder and the lock nut 502, and the retainer 400 is only abutted against the shaft shoulder or the lock nut 502.
Of course, the above-mentioned hinge can also provide damping for the first shaft and the second shaft by using the supporting frame 305 or the supporting block 302, and accordingly, the retainer 400 can be disposed between the shoulder and the lock nut 502 or outside the area between the shoulder and the lock nut 502.
