A kind of hinge device of mobile terminal
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of hinge device of mobile terminal, more particularly, by selecting the cam contour that possesses unsymmetric structure for use, thereby can widen the selecting range of the anglec of rotation.
Background technology
Fig. 1 is the oblique view of relevant existing portable terminal.As shown in the figure, this portable terminal is connected with the down turnover cover 21 and the upturning lid 11 that can carry out relative motion.
Be provided with vertical hinge portion 25 at the upper edge of down turnover cover 21 mid portion, can guarantee that by this vertical hinge portion 25 upturning lid 11 is the center with the hinge axle, along the direction rotation that is parallel to down turnover cover 21 plate faces, wherein, the installation direction of described hinge axle and down turnover cover 21 thickness directions balance each other; And between upturning lid 11 and vertical hinge portion 25, be provided with horizontal hinge portion 31, can guarantee that by this horizontal hinge portion 31 upturning lid 11 is the center, finishes with respect to down turnover cover 21 and open or operation such as closure with the hinge axle, wherein, the installation direction of described hinge axle is consistent with the Width of upturning lid 11.
Fig. 2 is the sectional view corresponding to horizontal hinge portion among Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is the oblique view that has shown Fig. 2 cam and the identical state of driven member; Fig. 4 is the figure that provides for key diagram 2 cam and driven member effect.As described shown in the accompanying drawing, horizontal hinge portion 31 has comprised following construction unit: shell 32, and portion forms the member spatial accommodation within it; Hinge axle 34, having adopted can be with respect to the connected mode of shell 32 rotations; Cam 36 has been fixed cam 36 in a side of hinge axle 34 as one; Driven member 37, along the axis direction of hinge axle 34, can be with respect to cam 36 motions; Spring member 39 is installed in shell 32 inside with it, is the elastic force that provides required that contacts between driven member 37 and the cam 36.
Cam 36 1 sides be formed with height be 36a low be the cam contour of 36b portion cross-distribution, and the direction that produces difference in height between the low 36b portion of this high 36a will be parallel to the axis direction of hinge axle 34.Simultaneously, a side of driven member 37 also correspondingly forms to merge with the cam contour kissing and produces the low 38b profile of the necessary high 38a that interacts.
But, horizontal hinge portion 31 for this existing portable terminal, owing to can only move along hinge axle 34 axis directions with the contacted driven member 37 of cam contour, simultaneously, in order to ensure the Elastic Contact between driven member 37 and the cam 36, need spring member 39 be set in driven member 37 1 sides, so that necessary elastic force to be provided.Because within 180 degree scopes of hinge axle 34 direction of rotation, each high low profile of cam 36 and driven member 37 has adopted symmetrical structure.But if the anglec of rotation surpasses 180 when spending, driven member 37 will produce the inclination with respect to hinge axle 34 certain angles, and can't turn round flexibly, has caused being difficult to carry out the problem of corresponding rotation.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of hinge device of mobile terminal.Because this device is equipped with the cam contour of unsymmetric structure, widened the selecting range of the anglec of rotation.
The invention is characterized in, can carry out the down turnover cover of relative motion and the portable terminal of upturning lid, comprised following construction unit for being connected with each other: the hinge axle, at described upturning lid or down turnover cover one lateral edges the hinge axle has been installed side by side; Cam possesses circumferencial direction along described hinge axle center, has the cam contour of height difference with respect to pivot, and fixedlys connected in the one mode with described hinge axle; Driven member at the axis direction of described hinge axle, laterally contacts with above cam contour, and follows described cam and carry out relative motion; Spring member produces elastic force by spring member, to guarantee the Elastic Contact between described driven member and the cam.
This device also comprises: installation direction is perpendicular to the guide portion of described hinge axis direction, to guide the motion of described driven member.
This device also comprises: portion forms the construction unit spatial accommodation within it, to hold the shell of described cam, driven member and spring member etc.
Described shell and described upturning lid have formed integrative-structure.
The installation direction of described hinge axle is consistent with the Width of described upturning lid or down turnover cover, wherein, this device further comprises towards the vertical hinge portion that is parallel to that upturning lid or down turnover cover plate face thickness direction install, by this vertical hinge portion, providing support power, is the center to guarantee upturning lid with the hinge axle, rotates relatively along the direction that is parallel to down turnover cover plate face, at this moment, a side of described hinge axle becomes one with above-mentioned vertical hinge portion and fixedlys connected.
As mentioned above, by hinge device of mobile terminal provided by the invention, have following construction unit: the hinge axle is equipped with the hinge axle along upturning lid or down turnover cover one lateral edges; Cam is equipped with the cam contour that has height difference with respect to hinge axle center, and fixedlys connected in the one mode with the hinge axle; Driven member contacts with cam in a side of cam, the driven member that can carry out horizontal relative motion along hinge axis direction; Spring member, this spring member can produce elastic force, to guarantee the Elastic Contact between above-mentioned driven member and the cam contour.By the said structure unit, can obtain following effect: along the circumferencial direction of cam, can on required angle, provide the asymmetric cam contour that has high low profile, but also can successfully manage the above anglec of rotation of 180 degree.
