Abstract

A hinge structure connects between a first housing and a second housing. The hinge structure includes a first frame, a second frame, a first shaft, a second shaft, a supporting frame and a slide plate. When the first housing rotate along a second axis and the rotation angle of the first housing is less than a lower limit, the slide plate is engaged with a first fixing portion of the first shaft to prohibit the first housing rotating along a first axis. When the rotation angle of the first housing is larger than the lower limit and less than an upper limit, the slide plate moves toward the second axis and engages with a second fixing portion to unlock the engagement of the slide plate and the first shaft. Hence, the first housing can rotate along the first axis.

之滑動及限位,以限制當第一殼體202的旋轉角度小於下 限值或大於上限值時’第一殼體202不能在軸向γ上水平 灰轉,以克服習知的螢幕常因開啟的角度不夠而碰撞到主 機,或是開啟的角度太大而碰撞到桌面。 請參考圖3A〜圖3C的樞轴結構,第—支架212固定 於圖2的第一殼體202 (螢幕)上,而第二支架214固定 於圖2的第二殼體204 (主機)上。第一轉軸216位於第 一軸向Y上,且第一轉軸216連接第一支架212,以使第 一殼體202支撐於第一轉軸216上,並可在第一轴向γ上 旋轉。此外,第一轉軸218位於第二轴向X上,且第二轉 軸218之兩端連接第二支架214之相對兩侧,以使第一殼 體202支撐於第二支架214上,並可在第二轴向χ上旋轉' 另外,支撐架220連接於第一轉軸216與第二轉軸218之 間,以使第一殼體202可在第一軸向γ或第二軸向χ上相

The second rotating shaft is located in the second axial direction, and the two ends of the second rotating shaft are connected to opposite sides of the second bracket. The support frame is coupled between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft to rotate the first housing relative to the second housing in the first axial direction or the second axial direction. The sliding piece is slidably disposed between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft. When the first casing rotates in the second axial direction and the rotation angle is less than a lower limit, the sliding piece is engaged with the first rotating shaft. In the positioning portion, the first housing is prohibited from rotating in the first axial direction, and when the rotation angle of the first housing is greater than the lower limit value and less than an upper limit value, the sliding piece moves toward the second axial direction and is engaged with In a second positioning portion, the locking of the sliding piece and the first rotating shaft is released, so that the first housing can rotate in the first axial direction. In an embodiment of the invention, when the rotation angle of the first housing is greater than the upper limit value, the slider is reversely moved and engaged in the first positioning portion of the first shaft. In an embodiment of the present invention, one end of the sliding piece has -201033489 1 32230twf.d〇c/n convex portion' and the first positioning portion of the first rotating shaft is provided with a concave hole corresponding to the convex portion, The sliding piece is engaged in the first positioning portion. In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned subrack has two arm members and one flail, and the two support arms are connected to the second bracket by the two ends of the second rotating shaft, and the connecting rod is located between the two supporting arms. The first bracket is connected by the first shaft. In an embodiment of the invention, the second positioning portion is disposed on the second bracket and located in the second axial direction. In the embodiment of the invention, the sliding piece is provided with an elastic member in the second axial direction to move the sliding piece toward the second axial direction and to engage in the second positioning portion. In one embodiment of the present invention, one end of the sliding piece has a - block, and the second positioning portion is provided with a recess corresponding to the block, and is engaged with the second positioning portion. In one embodiment of the invention, the size of the block is matched to the size of the recess. ^ In an embodiment of the invention, the above-mentioned card block has a size smaller than the size of the recessed hole and the card block can slide in the recessed hole. In an embodiment of the invention, the recess has two bevels and is V-shaped. In an embodiment of the invention, the lower limit is between 90 and 96 degrees. & In an embodiment of the invention, the upper limit is between 97 degrees and 108 degrees. Further 5 201033489 TP2009011 32230twf.doc/n Based on the above, the present invention is slidably disposed between the first rotating fish shaft by the sliding piece, and can be engaged in the material-positioning portion or the second portion. When the housing rotates in the second axial direction and the rotation angle is less than the lower limit value, the first housing cannot rotate in the first axial direction. When the angle of the first housing is greater than the lower limit and less than the upper limit, the first housing can be rotated in the first direction. The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the configuration of an electronic device and a tow shaft structure according to the present invention, and FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram showing the operation of the pivot structure of FIG. Please refer to the 11 2 ' electronic device 2, for example, a notebook computer, which includes a first housing 202, a second housing 204, and a pivot structure 21A. A housing 202 can be an upper cover having a screen, and the second housing 2〇4 can be a mainframe having a keyboard and a central processing unit located inside the mainframe, including a motherboard, an input/output module, and a hard The disc module, the memory module, the optical disc drive module, the wireless transmission module, the ρ 八 connector, the earphone connector, etc. are all common system components, and will not be described in detail herein. The pivot structure 21 is coupled between the first housing 202 and the second housing 204 to open or close the first housing 2〇2 relative to the second housing 204. In addition, when the first housing 2〇2 is opened to be larger than a certain angle, the first housing 2〇2 can be horizontally rotated in the axial direction relative to the second housing 2〇4, and the screen is made 180 degrees. Rotate so that the display side of the screen faces outward. At the same time, the present invention limits the sliding and limiting of the sliding member 23〇 (see FIG. 3Α) 201033489 irxwyvil 32230twf.doc/n to limit when the rotation angle of the first housing 202 is less than the lower limit value or greater than the upper limit value. The first housing 202 cannot be horizontally grayed out in the axial direction γ to overcome the conventional screen often hitting the host due to insufficient opening angle, or the opening angle is too large to hit the table top. Referring to the pivot structure of FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C, the first bracket 212 is fixed to the first housing 202 (screen) of FIG. 2, and the second bracket 214 is fixed to the second housing 204 (host) of FIG. . The first rotating shaft 216 is located in the first axial direction Y, and the first rotating shaft 216 is coupled to the first bracket 212 such that the first housing 202 is supported on the first rotating shaft 216 and is rotatable in the first axial direction γ. In addition, the first rotating shaft 218 is located in the second axial direction X, and the two ends of the second rotating shaft 218 are connected to opposite sides of the second bracket 214, so that the first housing 202 is supported on the second bracket 214, and The second axial cymbal is rotated. In addition, the support frame 220 is coupled between the first rotating shaft 216 and the second rotating shaft 218, so that the first housing 202 can be opposite to the first axial γ or the second axial χ. The second housing 204 rotates, wherein the first axial direction γ and the second axial direction are perpendicular to each other. When the first casing 202 is closed on the second casing 2〇4, referring to the drawing from the trailing shaft structure 'which indicates the initial position when the first casing 2〇2 is not rotated, the rotation angle is set to zero. The sliding piece 230 is engaged in the first positioning portion 216 of the first rotating shaft 216. For example, one end of the sliding piece 23 has a convex portion 230, and the first positioning portion 216 of the first rotating shaft 216 corresponds to the convex portion 230 and is provided with a concave hole. The bosses 23 are matched to each other so that the bosses 23GA can be inserted into the recesses. Therefore, when the housing 202 (f) is combined with the second housing 204 or the second housing 204 or the first housing 202 has a rotation angle of 201033489 32230 twf.doc/n greater than the lower limit value, the first housing 202 cannot rotate on the first axial direction to avoid The first housing 202 collides with the second housing 204 due to insufficient opening angle. The lower limit is preferably between 9 and 96 degrees. Then, when the rotation angle of the first housing 202 is greater than the lower limit value and less than an upper limit value, please refer to the pivot structure of FIG. 3, which indicates the position where the rotation angle of the first housing 202 is the lower limit value, and the rotation The angle 0 1 is, for example, %, but the invention is not limited. At this time, the sliding piece 23 is moved toward the second axial direction X and is engaged with a second positioning portion 214, and the locking of the sliding piece 230 with the first rotating shaft 216 is released. In detail, referring to a partial enlarged view of FIG. 3A, the second positioning portion 214 is disposed on the second bracket 214 and located in the second axial direction X. The slider 230 is provided with a resilient member 230A in the second axial direction X to move the slider 230 toward the second axial direction X and to engage in the second positioning portion 214A. The elastic member 230 is, for example, a spring, a spring piece or an elastic pad or the like. For example, one end of the sliding piece 230 has a block 230C' and the second positioning part 214A is provided with a recess corresponding to the block 230C, and the recess has two slopes, for example, a V-shaped bevel. By the action of the two inclined surfaces, the block 230C can be slid into the concave hole along the inclined surface, and the block 23〇c can be slid out of the concave hole along the inclined surface. At the same time, by the action of the elastic member 230B, the sliding piece 230 can be forced in the second axial direction X so that the block 230C corresponds to the concave hole at a specific rotation angle (for example, about 96 degrees), and by The elastic force pushes the card block 230C toward the recessed hole, thereby sliding the block 230C into the recessed hole. As described above, the block 230C matches the shape of the recessed hole, but the size of the block 230C is also small, and the size of the recessed hole is large, so that the block 23〇c 201〇33489ii 32230twfd〇c/n can slide in In the recessed hole, a stroke can be moved in the recessed hole. With the above design, the first housing 202 can be horizontally rotated in the first axial direction as long as the rotation angle of the first housing 202 is greater than the lower limit value and smaller than an upper limit value. The upper limit value is, for example, between 97 degrees and 108 degrees. In addition, in another embodiment, when the block 230C is closely matched with the size of the recessed hole, the 'block 230C will not move in the recessed hole, so as long as the rotation angle of the first housing 202 is greater than a specific value, the card Block 230C will immediately slide out of the recess.
