Detailed Description
The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses. 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.
As shown in fig. 1 to 12, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hinge mechanism including: a base 10; a first rotating member 20 connected to the base 10, the first rotating member 20 being rotatably disposed around a first rotation center line, the first rotating member 20 having a first guide groove 21; a second rotating member 30 connected to the base 10, the second rotating member 30 being rotatably disposed around a second rotation center line, the second rotation center line being parallel to the first rotation center line, the second rotating member 30 having a second guide groove 31; the guide structure 40, the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31 are in limit fit with the guide structure 40, so that the first rotating member 20 and the second rotating member 30 rotate synchronously.
By adopting the scheme, the first rotating piece 20, the guide structure 40 and the second rotating piece 30 realize the driving matching relationship through the limit matching of the guide structure 40 and the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31, so that when one rotating piece in the hinge mechanism rotates, the other rotating piece can be driven to rotate through the transmission of the guide structure 40, and the synchronous rotation of the first rotating piece 20 and the second rotating piece 30 is realized. Compared with the existing hinge mechanism with synchronous rotation function, the mode has simple structure and few parts, thereby reducing the cost.
Specifically, the extending directions of the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31 are both inclined with respect to the first rotation center line, and the inclined directions of the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31 are opposite; the guiding structure 40 includes a plate body 41, and a first limiting member 42 and a second limiting member 43 that are disposed on the plate body 41 at intervals, wherein the first limiting member 42 is located in the first guiding groove 21, and the second limiting member 43 is located in the second guiding groove 31. This achieves a driving fit of the first rotation member 20, the guide structure 40 and the second rotation member 30, wherein the guide structure 40 can function as a transmission. For example, when the first rotating member 20 rotates relative to the base 10, the first guide slot 21 drives the guide structure 40 to move through the first limiting member 42, and the second limiting member 43 of the guide structure 40 drives the second rotating member 30 to rotate through the second guide slot 31, so that the two rotating members rotate synchronously. The screen can be prevented from being pulled or squeezed when the mobile terminal is applied, so that the screen can be protected. Wherein the inclination angles of the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31 are equal. The plate body 41 has an arc-shaped structure.
In the present embodiment, the first guide groove 21 is a spiral groove around the first rotation center line, the second guide groove 31 is a spiral groove around the second rotation center line, and the rotation directions of the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31 are opposite. The lead angles of the first guide groove 21 and the second guide groove 31 are equal to each other, and the lead angles of the two grooves may be equal to each other. With the above arrangement, when the first rotating member 20 rotates at a certain angle with respect to the base 10, it is ensured that the second rotating member 30 rotates at the same angle with respect to the base 10, so that the screen can be better protected.
In the present embodiment, the first limiting member 42 abuts against both side walls of the first guide groove 21, and the second limiting member 43 abuts against both side walls of the second guide groove 31, so that the driving engagement can be more preferably realized. The first rotation center line and the second rotation center line are symmetrically arranged relative to the preset plane, the first limiting member 42 and the second limiting member 43 are respectively located at two sides of the preset plane, a distance between the first limiting member 42 and the preset plane is L1, and a distance between the second limiting member 43 and the preset plane is L2, wherein L1 and L2 are equal as shown in fig. 4, or L1 and L2 are not equal as shown in fig. 8. In the process of rotating the first rotating member 20 and the second rotating member 30 relative to the base 10, the first limiting member 42 and the second limiting member 43 both move along the first rotation center line, and the moving distances of the first limiting member 42 and the second limiting member 43 are equal. This ensures that the second rotating member 30 rotates at the same angle with respect to the base frame 10 when the first rotating member 20 rotates at a certain angle with respect to the base frame 10.
In this embodiment, the hinge mechanism further includes: the limiting structure 50 and the limiting structure 50 are connected with the base 10, the limiting structure 50 is in radial limiting fit with the guiding structure 40 on the first rotation center line, and the guiding structure 40 is movably arranged along the first rotation center line. The limiting structure 50 can limit the position of the guiding structure 40, so that when the first rotating member 20 and the second rotating member 30 rotate, the guiding structure 40 can only move along the direction of the first rotation center line, thereby generating limiting and driving effects, and enabling the first rotating member 20 and the second rotating member 30 to rotate synchronously.
