As shown in Figure 3, the mounting screws 36a, 37a are inserted into the holes 36b, 37b of the pair of lever members 36, 37, and are locked to the internal threads 36c, 37c of the central connecting element 22, so that the pair of lever members 36, 37 Respectively move back counterclockwise from the position of the one-point lock line, press the pressing positions P36, P37, apply tension to the second belt-shaped member 26, and fix the pair of lever members 36, 37 to the central connecting element 22.

然而,如圖4的Z軸鉸鏈裝置4所示,在第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12安裝有側部連結元件23的狀態下,側部連結元件23會妨礙安裝螺絲32a、33a,使其無法鎖合;又,在第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12安裝有側部連結元件24的狀態下,側部連結元件24會妨礙安裝螺絲35a、36a,使其無法鎖合。因此,有關Z軸鉸鏈裝置4的第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26的安裝方法及對其附加張力的方法,請同時參照圖3、圖4與以下實行步驟的說明。However, as shown in the Z-axis hinge device 4 of FIG. 4, in the state where the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 are installed with the side connecting element 23, the side connecting element 23 interferes with the mounting screws 32a, 33a, In addition, when the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 are installed with the side connecting element 24, the side connecting element 24 will obstruct the mounting screws 35a, 36a, making it impossible to lock. Therefore, regarding the installation method of the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 26 of the Z-axis hinge device 4 and the method of applying tension thereto, please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4 at the same time and the description of the following steps.

首先,將第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12安裝至固定在組裝模具(未圖示)上的中央連結元件21、22,使其保持平行,由此,第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12可平行在一預定相位位置,且被定位在縱向方向上的一預定位置。於此狀態下,將捲繞有第一帶狀構件25的捲繞構件13、14插入第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12安裝;再將捲繞有第二帶狀構件26的捲繞構件15、16插入第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12安裝。First, install the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 to the central connecting elements 21 and 22 fixed on the assembly mold (not shown) so as to keep them parallel. As a result, the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 11 The hinge rod 12 may be parallel to a predetermined phase position and be positioned at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction. In this state, insert the winding members 13 and 14 with the first ribbon-shaped member 25 into the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 to install; then, the winding member with the second ribbon-shaped member 26 The components 15 and 16 are inserted into the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 for installation.

接著,將槓桿構件32、33對準中央連結元件21的內螺紋32c、33c,用安裝螺絲32a、33a鎖合,由此,使槓桿構件32、33安裝在中央連結元件21上,吸收第一帶狀構件25的鬆弛;將槓桿構件36、37對準中央連結元件22的內螺紋36c、37c,用安裝螺絲36a、37a鎖合,由此,使槓桿構件36、37安裝在中央連結元件22上,對第二帶狀構件26施加張力。Next, align the lever members 32, 33 with the internal threads 32c, 33c of the central connecting element 21, and lock them with the mounting screws 32a, 33a, so that the lever members 32, 33 are mounted on the central connecting element 21 to absorb the first The slack of the belt-shaped member 25; align the lever members 36, 37 with the internal threads 36c, 37c of the central connecting element 22, and lock them with the mounting screws 36a, 37a, so that the lever members 36, 37 are installed on the central connecting element 22 Above, tension is applied to the second belt-shaped member 26.

然後,將第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12插入側部連結元件23後,將外殼27從上方疊上側部連結元件23,安裝螺絲23a穿過孔23b,鎖合於內螺紋23c,由此,外殼27可包覆捲繞有第一帶狀構件25的捲繞構件13、14以及槓桿構件32、33;將第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12插入側部連結元件24後,將外殼28從上方疊上側部連結元件24,安裝螺絲24a穿過孔24b,鎖合於內螺紋24c,由此,外殼28可包覆捲繞有第二帶狀構件26的捲繞構件15、16以及槓桿構件36、37。Then, after inserting the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 into the side connecting element 23, the housing 27 is stacked on the side connecting element 23 from above, the mounting screw 23a passes through the hole 23b, and is locked to the internal thread 23c. Therefore, the housing 27 can wrap the winding members 13, 14 and the lever members 32, 33 of the first belt-shaped member 25; after inserting the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 into the side connecting element 24, The housing 28 is stacked on the side connecting element 24 from above, and the mounting screw 24a passes through the hole 24b and is locked to the internal thread 24c. Thereby, the housing 28 can cover the winding member 15 on which the second belt-shaped member 26 is wound. 16 and lever members 36, 37.

然後,如圖4所示,將安裝元件17A、17B、18A、18B壓入第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12的兩端部11d、11e、12d、12e安裝。Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the mounting elements 17A, 17B, 18A, and 18B are pressed into the two end portions 11d, 11e, 12d, and 12e of the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 for installation.

實施形態1的Z軸鉸鏈裝置4,如圖9所示,在第一張力調節機構31中,於第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12之間,在第一帶狀構件25被拉伸的兩面的轉動方向上錯開位置地按壓,對第一帶狀構件25施加張力。另外,如圖10所示,在第二張力調節機構35中,於第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12之間,在第二帶狀構件26被拉伸的兩面的轉動方向上錯開位置地按壓,對第二帶狀構件26施加張力。由此,因分別設置了按壓第一帶狀構件25的第一張力調節機構31和按壓第二帶狀構件26的第二張力調節機構35,即使其各自的按壓力道小,仍能對第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26施加大的張力;且,因在第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26被拉伸的兩面的轉動方向上錯開位置地按壓,賦予其張力,即使其兩面各自受到的按壓力道小,仍能對第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26施加大的張力。The Z-axis hinge device 4 of Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 9, in the first tension adjustment mechanism 31, between the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12, the first belt-shaped member 25 is stretched Pressing with shifted positions in the direction of rotation of both sides of the device, applies tension to the first belt-shaped member 25. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, in the second tension adjustment mechanism 35, between the first hinge lever 11 and the second hinge lever 12, the position is shifted in the direction of rotation of both sides of the second belt-shaped member 26 being stretched. Ground pressing applies tension to the second belt-shaped member 26. Therefore, since the first tension adjusting mechanism 31 pressing the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second tension adjusting mechanism 35 pressing the second belt-shaped member 26 are separately provided, even if their respective pressing forces are small, they can still A band-shaped member 25 and a second band-shaped member 26 apply a large tension; and, because the first band-shaped member 25 and the second band-shaped member 26 are pressed at positions shifted in the direction of rotation of the two stretched surfaces, they are given to them The tension can apply a large tension to the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 26 even if the pressing force on both surfaces is small.

又,實施形態1的Z軸鉸鏈裝置4中,第一張力調節機構31和第二張力調節機構35分別具有一對槓桿構件32、33、36、37,該些槓桿構件可透過調節角度並固定到中央連結元件21、22上,進而得以調節按壓力道。此,在使用了一對槓桿構件32、33、36、37的單純機構中,即使在厚度相對較薄的外殼27、28內的空間裡,也能確保對第一帶狀構件25和第二帶狀構件26施加大的按壓行程,賦予其大的張力。In addition, in the Z-axis hinge device 4 of the first embodiment, the first tension adjustment mechanism 31 and the second tension adjustment mechanism 35 have a pair of lever members 32, 33, 36, 37, respectively, and these lever members can be adjusted and fixed by angle adjustment. On the central connecting elements 21, 22, the pressing force can be adjusted. Therefore, in a simple mechanism using a pair of lever members 32, 33, 36, 37, even in the space inside the housings 27, 28 with relatively thin thicknesses, it is possible to ensure that the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 25 and the second The belt-shaped member 26 applies a large pressing stroke, giving it a large tension.

另外,實施形態1的Z軸鉸鏈裝置4中,側部連結元件23支承在第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12的一端部;側部連結元件24支承在第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12的另一端部。然後,在側部連結元件23和側部連結元件24之間,透過第一帶狀構件25和第二帶狀構件26設置中央連結元件21、22;一對的槓桿構件32、33、36、37則被中央連結元件21、22支承。由此,透過中央連結元件21、22,第一張力調節機構31和第二張力調節機構35背對背配置,故可從Z軸鉸鏈裝置4的兩外側操作該一對的槓桿構件32、33、36、37。In addition, in the Z-axis hinge device 4 of Embodiment 1, the side connecting element 23 is supported by one end of the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12; the side connecting element 24 is supported by the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod. The other end of the hinge rod 12. Then, between the side connecting element 23 and the side connecting element 24, the central connecting elements 21, 22 are provided through the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 26; a pair of lever members 32, 33, 36, 37 is supported by the central connecting elements 21,22. Thus, through the central connecting elements 21, 22, the first tension adjusting mechanism 31 and the second tension adjusting mechanism 35 are arranged back to back, so that the pair of lever members 32, 33, 36 can be operated from both outsides of the Z-axis hinge device 4. , 37.

另外,由於實施形態1的Z軸鉸鏈裝置4具有第一張力調節機構31和第二張力調節機構35,該第一張力調節機構31可在第一帶狀構件25安裝完成後,調節第一帶狀構件25的張力,該第二張力調節機構35可在第二帶狀構件26安裝完成後,調節第二帶狀構件26的張力,因此,第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26沒有鬆弛或產生游隙的問題,故Z軸鉸鏈裝置4擁有良好的開闔操作性。In addition, since the Z-axis hinge device 4 of the first embodiment has the first tension adjustment mechanism 31 and the second tension adjustment mechanism 35, the first tension adjustment mechanism 31 can adjust the first belt after the installation of the first belt-shaped member 25 is completed. The second tension adjustment mechanism 35 can adjust the tension of the second belt-shaped member 26 after the installation of the second belt-shaped member 26 is completed. Therefore, the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 26 There is no problem of slack or play, so the Z-axis hinge device 4 has good opening and closing operability.

實施形態1的Z軸鉸鏈裝置4中,在第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12之間,帶狀構件25、26(前者以大致S字形,後者以反S字形)分別捲繞於第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12,當其中一方鉸鏈桿轉動時,將改變其轉動方向並傳遞至另一方鉸鏈桿,同步傳遞轉動驅動力,從而能用少量零件,使第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12的轉動角度產生聯繫,實現左右對稱的開闔動作。並且,若將原應捲繞呈S字形的帶狀構件,分割為相互平行但分別以相反方向捲繞的第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26,則消除了當帶狀構件以大致S字形捲繞時其中間的扭曲部份,從而實現Z軸鉸鏈裝置4的薄型化。In the Z-axis hinge device 4 of the first embodiment, between the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12, the belt-shaped members 25, 26 (the former is in a substantially S-shape and the latter is in the reverse S-shape) are respectively wound around the first hinge. A hinge rod 11 and a second hinge rod 12, when one of the hinge rods rotates, it will change its direction of rotation and transmit it to the other hinge rod, synchronously transmitting the rotational driving force, so that a small number of parts can be used to make the first hinge rod 11 It is connected with the rotation angle of the second hinge rod 12 to realize a symmetrical opening and closing action. Moreover, if the band-shaped member that should be wound in an S-shape is divided into the first band-shaped member 25 and the second band-shaped member 26 that are parallel to each other but wound in opposite directions, it is eliminated when the band-shaped member is wound in opposite directions. The twisted part in the middle of the winding is roughly S-shaped, so that the Z-axis hinge device 4 can be made thinner.

與現有技術相比,藉由組合卡合突起13t、14t、15t、16t與金屬薄片的捲繞結構,作為第一帶狀構件25和第二帶狀構件26的端部相對於捲繞構件13、14、15和16的固定結構,可縮小第一鉸鏈桿11及第二鉸鏈桿12之間的軸距;藉由使用有一對的槓桿構件32、33、36、37的第一張力調節機構31及第二張力調節機構35,即使在狹小的空間中,仍可對第一帶狀構件25及第二帶狀構件26施加其所需的足夠張力。又,本發明雖未記載實際尺寸,但有了上述的特徵結構,再透過使用直徑1mm的鉸鏈桿11、12,並縮小捲繞構件13、14、15、16的外徑,即可達到將第一帶狀構件25和第二帶狀構件26在捲繞時的外徑收在直徑3mm程度的水準。由此,藉由縮小安裝於第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12的捲繞構件13、14、15、16的各個外徑,再省略齒輪式驅動機構中的中間齒輪,縮小第一鉸鏈桿11和第二鉸鏈桿12之間的軸距,從而實現Z軸鉸鏈裝置4的構造的簡單化、小型化、及薄型化。然後,透過Z軸鉸鏈裝置4的小型化和薄型化,從而實現第一殼體2和第二殼體3的薄型化,達成電子機器1整體的薄型化。Compared with the prior art, by combining the winding structure of the engaging protrusions 13t, 14t, 15t, 16t and the metal foil, the ends of the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 26 are opposed to the winding member 13 , 14, 15 and 16 fixed structure, can reduce the wheelbase between the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12; by using a pair of lever members 32, 33, 36, 37 the first tension adjustment mechanism 31 and the second tension adjusting mechanism 35, even in a small space, can still apply sufficient tension to the first belt-shaped member 25 and the second belt-shaped member 26. In addition, although the actual size is not described in the present invention, with the above-mentioned characteristic structure, by using hinge rods 11, 12 with a diameter of 1 mm, and reducing the outer diameter of the winding members 13, 14, 15, 16 can be achieved. The outer diameters of the first band-shaped member 25 and the second band-shaped member 26 at the time of winding are retracted to a level of about 3 mm in diameter. Thus, by reducing the respective outer diameters of the winding members 13, 14, 15, 16 mounted on the first hinge rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12, the intermediate gear in the gear-type driving mechanism is omitted, and the first hinge is reduced. The axis distance between the rod 11 and the second hinge rod 12 realizes the simplification, miniaturization, and thinning of the structure of the Z-axis hinge device 4. Then, through the miniaturization and thickness reduction of the Z-axis hinge device 4, the thickness reduction of the first housing 2 and the second housing 3 is achieved, and the overall thickness reduction of the electronic device 1 is achieved.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the central connecting element 54 is provided with guide pieces 54a, 54a, 54b, 54b, and these guide pieces abut on both sides of the tension adjusting members 55, 56 to prevent the tension adjusting members 55, 56 shake. Through the above structure, the tension adjusting members 55, 56 located between the mounting screws 55a, 56a and the guide pieces 54a, 54a, 54b, 54b can be stabilized, and even after years of use, the belt-shaped member 53 can still be effectively prevented from slack . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be omitted.
