Description

  The present invention relates to a slide mechanism for a portable device, and more particularly to a slide mechanism that slides a cover relative to a main body by being installed between the cover and the main body.

  There are several types of cover opening and closing methods used for portable electronic devices (for example, mobile phones and digital cameras) having a cover and a main body. Among them, there is a sliding means having a configuration including a cover provided with an indicator at the top and a main body connected to the bottom of the cover so as to be relatively slidable. According to this configuration, in the closed state where the cover and the main body overlap, the user can view images and moving images displayed on the display unit or input commands using the touch panel. In the open state where the input unit such as a keyboard installed on the upper surface of the main body is exposed, a command can be input by the input unit.

  Moreover, as an example of the slide-type electronic device, for example, one described in Patent Document 1 is known. The sliding electronic device is configured such that a torsion spring having both ends connected to the cover and the main body is provided between the cover and the main body.

Taiwan Patent Application No. 95128260

  However, if the configuration using a torsion spring is used as in the conventional slide type electronic device, the overall thickness of the portable electronic device is increased, so that the purpose of reducing the weight and size of the electronic device is achieved. It was difficult.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been devised, and an object thereof is to provide a slide mechanism that can reduce the thickness of the portable device.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a portable device slide mechanism installed between a cover and a main body of a portable device, and the portable device slide mechanism is fixed to the cover. The first plate, one end pivoted on the first plate and the other end provided with a fixing portion having a rod-like protrusion, and one end fixed on the first pivoting member And a second pivot member formed with an arc-shaped groove for accommodating a rod-like protrusion in the fixed portion at one end thereof, and slidably installed on the first plate, and on the main body A second plate that is fixed and pivotally provided at the other end of the second pivot member, and is mounted on the outer periphery of the fixed portion between the first pivot member and the second pivot member; One end is attached to the fixed portion and the other end is attached to the second pivot member. Those comprising an elastic member exhibiting a Jo.

  In addition, as a means for slidably installing the first plate on the second plate, for example, rails are provided on both sides of the first plate, and slide grooves corresponding to the rails are provided on both sides of the second plate. realizable.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the said fixing | fixed part exhibits a disk shape whose thickness is substantially equivalent to the thickness of the said elastic member.

  The means for attaching one end of the elastic member to the fixing portion can be realized by, for example, a structure in which an engaging groove is formed in the fixing portion and one end of the elastic member is fixed to the engaging groove.

  The present invention solves the above-described problem, and the thickness of the elastic member is substantially equal to the thickness of the fixed portion, and one end of the elastic member is fixed to the engaging groove in the fixed portion and the other end is fixed. The slide mechanism of the present invention in which the first pivot member, the second pivot member, and the elastic member are assembled is reduced in weight and Since miniaturization can be achieved, it is excellent in practicality.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the following Example is only what showed the preferred embodiment of this invention, and the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the following Example itself at all.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the portable device slide mechanism according to the present invention is installed in a portable device 9 having a cover 90 and a main body 91, and includes a first plate 10 and a first pivot member 20. A second pivot member 30, a second plate 40, and an elastic member 50.

  The first plate 10 is fixed to the cover 90, and the second plate 40 is fixed to the main body 91 and is slidably installed on the first plate 10. In order to smoothly slide the first plate 10 with respect to the second plate 40, rails 11 are provided on both sides of the first plate 10, and the rails are provided on both sides of the second plate 40, respectively. 11 and the corresponding slide groove 42 are formed.

  One end 201 of the first pivot member 20 is pivoted on the first plate 10. As the pivot means, for example, a rivet (not shown) is inserted into the opening 12 in the first plate 10. You may do it. In addition, a fixing portion 21 is provided at the other end of the first pivot member 20, and a plurality of through holes 212 are provided in the first pivot member 20 in order to fix the fixing portion 21 to the first pivot member 20. In addition to being formed, a plurality of rods 211 fitted into the corresponding through holes 212 are provided on one side of the fixed portion 21. As shown in FIG. 5, the fixing portion 21 preferably has a disk shape, and an engagement groove is formed on the periphery of the disk-shaped fixing portion 21 and a rod-shaped protrusion is provided on the other side. It is done. In the present embodiment, the fixing portion 21 is detachably provided on the first pivot member 20, but may be formed integrally with the first pivot member 20.

  The second pivot member 30 is pivotally mounted on the second plate 40 by rivets, and one end thereof is pivotally mounted on the fixing portion 21 of the first pivot member 20, and is fixed to the one end. An arcuate groove 32 for accommodating the rod-like protrusion 22 in the portion 21 is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the elastic member 50 has a spiral shape, and is wrapped around the outer periphery of the fixed portion 21 between the first pivot member 20 and the second pivot member 30, and one end 51 of the elastic member 50 is provided. The other end 52 is attached to the second pivot member 30 while being fixed to the engagement groove 214 in the fixing portion 21 of the first pivot member 20. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the other end 52 of the elastic member 50 is installed in the center part 33 of the 2nd pivot member 30 with a rivet.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the elastic member 50 is substantially equal to the thickness of the fixing portion 21, and one end thereof is fixed to the engaging groove 214 in the fixing portion 21. Since the other end is wound so as to make one or several rounds on the outer periphery of the fixed portion 21, the first pivot member 20 and the second pivot member 30 can smoothly rotate. Can solve the problem of increasing the thickness of portable electronic devices.

  7 to 9 are plan views showing a slide operation of the slide mechanism 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, when the second plate 40 is located on one side of the first plate 10, the rod-like protrusion 22 in the fixing portion 21 is located on one side of the arcuate groove 32 in the second pivot member 30, Since the first plate 10 slides to the other side of the second plate 40 and the rod-shaped protrusion 22 moves in the arc-shaped groove 32, the sliding distance of the second plate 40 with respect to the first plate 10 is the arcuate shape. It is controlled by the length of the groove 32.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the second plate 40 is pushed to the other side of the first plate 10, the elastic member 50 is compressed to generate an urging force, and the second plate 40 is further moved to a specific position. The second plate 40 is slid to the other side of the first plate 10 by the urging force of the elastic member 50 and positioned.

  According to the above configuration, the present invention can reduce the thickness of the portable device and provide a smoother sliding operation.
