The inner wall of the fixing portion 141, the elastic portion 142 and the fastening portions 143, 144 is provided with a plurality of oil holes (not shown) for storing lubricating oil to reduce friction between the rotating shaft 13 and the fixing member 14. To prevent excessive friction from damaging the fixing member μ and the rotating shaft 13. The elastic portion 142 is a half-opening ring having a substantially c-shaped cross section which is elastically deformable, and one of the elastic portions 142 is partially bent to form a protrusion 1421 protruding toward the center of the elastic portion 142. The protrusion 1421 is used for the shaft 13 The groove 1331 is fitted in the same direction and the elastic portion 142 is the same as the opening direction of the engaging portion 143. Of course, the opening direction of the elastic portion 142 may also coincide with the opening direction of the engaging portion 144 and the opening directions of the engaging portions 143 and 144 may also coincide. Further, a flat portion may be formed on the elastic portion 142. The straight portion cooperates with the tangent plane of the bottom of the recess 1331 of the rotating shaft 13. Of course, the elastic portion m2 may not be lifted 1421 as long as one of the elastic portions 142 can abut against the tangent plane of the bottom of the recess 1331 of the rotating shaft 13. Further, the engaging portions 143, 144 may be integral with the elastic portion 142 near the bottom of the fixing portion 141 as long as the engaging portions 143, 144 and the elastic portion 142 are separated from the portion of the recess 1331 of the rotating shaft 13. Please also refer to 圊3 'Assembly, the mounting portion hi of the base 11 is fixed to the body 21 of the electronic device 100, the fixing portion 121 of the bracket 12 and the connecting portion 122 097138143 Form No. 1010101 Page 8 / Total 20 pages 1003310388-0 [0016 1J53816 _ Aug. 24, 100, the replacement of the page is fixed to the cover 22 of the electronic device 100, the fixing member 14 is fixed to the fixing portion 113 of the base 11, and the joint portion 131 of the rotating shaft 13 is fixed to the shaft hole of the bracket 12. In the 1231, the shaft portion 133 of the rotating shaft 13 is inserted into the shaft hole 1121 of the base 11 and the shaft hole 145 of the fixing member 14 in order, so that the rotating shaft 13 is not rotatably fixed to the bracket 12 with respect to the bracket 12, but can be opposite to the base. The fixing member 14 is rotatably disposed in the shaft hole 1121 and 145 of the base member 11 of the base member 11. Of course, the shaft hole 1121 may not be formed on the base portion 11, and the rotating shaft 13 may be directly inserted into the shaft hole 145 of the fixing member 14. [] At the same time, referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 'When the cover 22 of the electronic device 1 is to be opened, the cover 22 is pulled, and the bracket 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, due to the elastic portion 142 of the rotating shaft 13 and the fixing member 14. There is a large friction between the inner walls of the engaging portions 143 and 144, so that the cover 22 can stay at any position. When the rotating shaft 13 is rotated to a certain angle, the protrusion 1421 of the fixing member 14 is buckled on the shaft of the rotating shaft 13. The groove 1331 of the rod portion 133, so that the operator feels that the cover body 22 has been opened to the required angle with respect to the body 21, and the positioning function is required to change the state when a large external force is required to make the protrusion 14 2 J slip. The groove 1331 is pulled out so that the projection 1421 abuts against the shaft portion 133 of the rotating shaft 13, and at this time, the portion of the elastic portion 142 which is close to the opening is turned upward. When the cover 22 of the electronic device 100 needs to be closed, the reverse operation is sufficient. [0018] The protrusions 1421 of the fixing member 14 in the hinge structure 10 are formed by bending deformation of the fixing member 14, which is convenient for manufacture, and the engaging portions 143, 144 provided on both sides of the elastic portion 142 of the fixing member 14 are The elastic portion 142 is separated. When the protrusion 1421 slides out of the groove 1331, although the elastic portion 142 is inclined upward toward the portion of the opening, the elastic portion 142 does not affect the cooperation of the engaging portion 143' 144 with other portions of the rotating shaft 13. The degree can thus be maintained 097138143 Form bat number A0101 1003310388-0 Page 9 / Total 20 page 1353816 100 August 24 Correction of the replacement page is more stable torque. In addition, the groove 1 3 31 of the rotating shaft 13 is formed by cutting off a part of the shaft portion 133, and the bottom of the groove 1331 is all planes. Therefore, the protrusion 1421 of the elastic portion 142 needs to slide out of the cutting plane at the bottom of the groove 1331. Sliding a large distance allows the stability of the positioning angle to be maintained. [0019] It can be understood that a plurality of grooves can be formed on the shaft portion 133 of the rotating shaft 13, so that the cover 22 of the electronic device 100 can be positioned at a plurality of angles with respect to the body 21, and can be on the shaft portion 133 of the rotating shaft 13. A ring portion having a diameter smaller than that of the other portion of the shaft portion 133 is formed, and then a groove 1331 is formed in the annular portion, so that the entire elastic portion 142 of the fixing member is buckled to the annular portion, thereby further preventing the rotation shaft 13 from being Axial movement. Further, the engaging portions 143, 144 of the fixing member 14 are not limited to the number provided in the embodiment, and may be one or more. [0020] In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent, and submits a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art of the present invention should be included in the following claims.
