1013016922-01378706 Modified on January 13, 2011, the following description of the invention: [0001] The present invention relates to a hinge structure, and more particularly to a mobile phone, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant, personal digital assistant) ) A hinge structure of a portable electronic device. [Prior Art] [0002] At present, portable electronic devices sold on the market, such as mobile phones, PDAs, etc., are mostly folded structures, that is, including a cover body and a body, and hinges are used to articulate the cover body and the body. Together. [0003] A hinge structure commonly used in the industry is a torsion spring type, that is, a torsion spring is used as a main component to achieve a certain opening and closing function of the cover body and the body. The hinge disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,493,542 (see the first figure) is a hinge structure of this type. The hinge includes a housing 91, a spring 92, and a main shaft 93. The housing 91 is a hollow cylinder which is open at one end, and has an end portion 912 at one end for engaging with the cover of the mobile phone, and an inner hole 914 is formed in the casing 91 at the closed end. The two ends of the spring 92 extend outwardly from the two holding ends $ 922, 924. The main shaft 93 is provided with a fixed end 932 having an external thread, and the other end is provided with a flange portion 934. The springs 92 are received in the housing 91. The holding ends 922 and 924 are respectively extended from the two ends of the housing 91. The holding end 922 is engaged with the housing 91, and the other holding end 924 is engaged with the mobile phone body. The main shaft 93 is inserted into the spring 92, and the fixed end 932 is screwed into the hole 914 of the housing 91, and the hinge structure is assembled. After being loaded into the mobile phone casing, the end portion 912 cooperates with the mobile phone cover body, and the catching end 924 cooperates with the mobile phone body. When the mobile phone cover is closed, the spring 92 has a certain pre-torque force, and the cover body is adsorbed or engaged with the body through other engaging structures, such as magnets. When you need to use a mobile phone, you will be released on the 09313461 (^单号号 A〇101 page 4/18 pages 1013016922-0 1378706 101 January 101 revision replacement page snap structure, the cover is in the spring 92 The above-mentioned hinge structure is simple in structure and convenient to operate. However, the disadvantage is that the holding end 924 of the spring 92 cooperates with the body of the mobile phone, and a special structure is required on the body, so that the versatility is poor. The torsion is received by the end portion 912 and the holding end 924, and the holding end 924 is small in volume, and the holding end 924 is required to have a large strength. The hinge structure has a relatively simple function. The mobile phone adopting the hinge structure, The angle at which the cover body and the body are opened is generally defined by the structure of the cover body and the body, and the impact force when the cover body is opened is also borne by the cover body and the body, which is easy to wear and affect the life of the mobile phone. [0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinge structure which is highly versatile, has its own opening and closing angles, and has various functions. [0005] In order to achieve the object of the present invention, The invention provides a hinge structure, which comprises a main shaft, a torsion spring, a casing, a fixing piece and a pin. One end of the main shaft is provided with a fixing end, and the casing is a hollow cylinder with one end open, a sliding groove is formed on the casing, and a convex rib is protruded on the outer side. Two limiting slots are formed on the ribs; the fixing piece is provided with a receiving portion, the receiving portion is received in the limiting slot of the housing, the torsion spring is sleeved on the main shaft, and the main shaft is accommodated in the housing, and the main shaft is clamped The end is exposed outside the casing, one end of the torsion spring is combined with the receiving portion, and the other end is coupled with the main shaft, one end of the pin is fixed to the main shaft, and the other end protrudes into the sliding groove and can slide therein. [0006] The hinge structure of the present invention is versatile by the engagement of the spindle clamping end and the housing and the mobile phone cover body and the body; the angle of the spindle rotation is defined by the housing chute, thereby limiting the opening and closing of the mobile phone cover body. The angle does not need to be defined by the mobile phone housing, so it does not hit and wear when the mobile phone is opened in the mobile phone 09313461 (^单单页1 5/18 pages 1013016922-0 1378706 101 January 101 [0007] Mobile phone housing; through the housing The hinge shape is changed to enable the hinge structure to achieve different functions. [Embodiment] The hinge structure of the present invention is used for a folding portable electronic device having a body and a cover. In this embodiment, a mobile phone is taken as an example. Referring to the second and third figures, the hinge structure of the present invention comprises a main shaft j, two torsion springs 2, a resisting post 3, a compression spring 4, a housing 5, two fixing pieces 6 and Two pins 7. • [0009] The main shaft 1 is provided with a flange 12 and a fastening end 14 , and a central portion of the main body is provided with a slot 16 extending from the flange 12 to the other end, and the slot 16 is used for the main body of the main shaft It is divided into two branching portions 18, and a through hole 182 is opened in each of the divided portions 18. The positions of the two through holes 182 do not correspond to each other, and are further opened and disposed on the branching portion 18 The upper through hole 182 corresponds to the card hole 184, and the card hole 184 is non-through. [0010] The two torsion springs 2 are identical in structure, and are all columnar springs, one end of which is provided with an insertion end 22 extending toward its axis, and the other end is provided with a holding end 24 extending in the axial direction thereof. The torsion spring 2 is sleeved on the main shaft 1, and the insertion end 22 is inserted into the slot 16 of the main shaft 1. [0011] The resisting jaw 3 is a hollow cylinder that is open at one end, and a positioning post 32 extends therefrom. One end of the main shaft 1 is inserted into the opening of the abutting post 3, and the positioning post μ is inserted into the slot 16 of the main shaft 1 [0012] The compression spring 4 is a columnar spring, one end of which abuts against the abutting post 3. [0013] The housing 5 is a hollow cylinder closed at one end and closed at the other end, and two ribs 52 extending in the axial direction are protruded from the outer side of the housing 5, and the two ribs 52 are 180 09313461# single number AQ1Q1 on the outer side of the housing 5 6 pages / a total of 18 pages 1378706 After the 13th of January, 101, the remaining page degree distribution. Each of the ribs 5 2 defines a non-penetrating square hole 54 extending in the axial direction. The square hole 54 further defines a position of the limiting groove 542 ′ extending in the axial direction and the position of the two limiting holes 542. Does not correspond. Further, two through slots 56 are formed in the housing 5, and the plane of the slots 56 is perpendicular to the axis of the housing 5. The positions of the two chutes 56 do not correspond. From one end of the chute 56 to the other end, the axis line of the housing 5 is rotated by about ι 60 degrees. The pressure spring 4, the abutting column 3, the spring 2, and the main shaft 1 are accommodated in the housing 5. One end of the compression spring 4 abuts against the inner wall of the casing 5. [0014] The fixing piece δ is formed by bending a rectangular metal piece, and the middle portion is bent into a semi-cylindrical receiving portion 62'. The receiving portion 62 is received in the limiting groove 542 of the housing 5. The canister [0015] is a cylindrical body which passes through the through hole 182 of the bifurcation portion 18 of the main shaft 1, one end of which is received in the card hole 184 of the sub-portion 18, and the other end of which is inserted into the chute 56 of the casing Zhao 5 [0016] When assembling, the compression spring 4 is first placed in the casing 5, and then the two divided portions 18 of the main shaft 1 are sequentially inserted into the two torsion springs 2 and the 枉·3, so that the torsion spring 2 The insertion end 22 and the positioning post 32 of the abutting post 3 are inserted into the slot 16 of the main shaft 1 to press the compression spring 4 to have a certain pre-pressure. The above-mentioned installed spindle 丨, torsion spring 2 and abutment post 3 are placed in the housing 5, so that the latching ends 24 of the torsion springs 2 are respectively exposed from the two limiting slots 542 of the housing 5, and the fixing pieces are 6 is inserted into the square hole 54 of the housing 5 from the outside, and the receiving portion 62 is inserted into the limiting slot 542, and the fixing piece 6 is slid along the square hole 54 to a proper position, so that the locking end 24 of the torsion spring 2 is inserted into the receiving portion. 62. Finally, the angle of the main shaft 1 relative to the housing 5 is adjusted such that the through hole 182 is aligned with the sliding groove 56 of the housing 5. The pin 7 is passed through the sliding groove 56 and the through hole 182, and inserted into the locking hole 184. The interference with the card slot 184 is such that the pin 7 is fixed to the spindle 1. Thus, the entire hinge structure is assembled into a whole 09313461 (^ single number Α0101 1013016922-0 page 7 / total 18 pages U / 8706 [0017] 11 〇 1 January 13 revision of the replacement page body, as shown in the third figure The above-mentioned assembled hinge structure is placed at the junction of the mobile phone body and the cover body to make the locking end 14 of the main shaft 1 engage with the cover body, and the housing 5 cooperates with the body to close the cover body to the body. The torsion spring 2 has a certain pre-torque force. When the mobile phone is in a non-use state, when the cover body is closed relative to the body, the cover body is engaged or adsorbed to the body by other engaging mechanisms or magnetic devices, since the torsion spring 2 has a pre-torsion force, The pin 7 of the hinge structure is at one end of the chute 56 of the housing 5. At this time, the hinge structure is in an unstable state. When the mobile phone is required, the above-mentioned engaging mechanism or magnetic device is released to release the cover. The torsion spring 2 has a certain pre-torsion force, and the clamping end 24 of the torsion spring 2 cooperates with the housing 5, and the opposite body does not move, and the insertion end 22 drives the main shaft 1 and the mobile phone cover body to rotate 'at the same time, the pin 7 is in the chute 56. Sliding in. When the spindle 1 turns about 160 degrees, 7 slides to the other end of the chute 56, the main shaft 1 stops rotating, and the mobile phone cover body reaches the open position, and the hinge key structure is in a stable state. When the cover body needs to be closed, the force is applied to the cover body, and the cover body drives the main shaft 1 Resisting the torsion of the torsion spring 2, the pin 7 slides in the chute 56 at the same time until the cover returns to the closed position, and is re-engaged or attracted by the engaging mechanism or the magnetic device, and the cover is closed. In the process, The function of the compression spring 4 is to push the spindle 1 to the end 5 of the housing, so that the pin 7 abuts against the side of the sliding groove 56 of the housing 5, so that the movement of the main shaft 1 is stable and does not occur in the housing 5. [0018] The second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the fourth figure, is substantially the same as the hinge structure of the first embodiment, except that the chute 57 of the housing 5 is located. The plane is not perpendicular to the drawing line of the casing 5, but is formed at an angle of less than 90 degrees. The rest of the component structure and assembly process are the same as the _461 (P number A 〇 101 page 8 / 18 pages 1013016922- 0 1378706 Modified on January 13, 101, the same as the one hundred embodiment. When the mobile phone cover body to which the hinge structure is applied is opened, the main shaft 1 is rotated by the combined action of the torsion spring 2 and the compression spring 4, thereby having a large rotational force, which is more performance than the hinge structure of the first embodiment. [0019] The third embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the fifth figure, is substantially the same as the hinge structure of the first embodiment, except that the chute 58 of the housing 5 further includes a first end. The portion 582, the concave portion 584, the convex portion 586 and the second end portion 588. The remaining element structure and assembly process are the same as those of the first embodiment. When the mobile phone cover body suitable for such a hinge structure is closed, the pin 7 is at the first end portion. 582. When the mobile phone is required, the engaging mechanism or the magnetic device of the mobile phone is released to release the cover body, and the main shaft 1 rotates under the joint action of the torsion spring 2 and the compression spring 4, since the convex portion 586 is higher than the concave portion 584, the pin 7 Sliding to the recess 584 is blocked by the convex portion 586. At this time, the cover body only opens a small angle. Then, a small force is applied to the cover of the mobile phone, so that the pin 7 passes over the convex portion 586, and the main shaft 1 can act as the torsion spring 2 and the compression spring 4. Further rotation is continued until the pin 7 slides to the second end 588 of the chute 58 and the cover is opened. The purpose of adopting such a structure is that when the user opens the folding mobile phone, the mobile phone body is usually held. If the weight of the mobile phone cover body is large, the cover body generates a large force when the device is opened, and the mobile phone is made. It is easy to slip off from the user's hand, and with the hinge structure in the third embodiment, when the cover body is opened, the cover body first opens a small angle, the impact force is small, and the mobile phone does not slip off, and then the cover is closed. Apply a small force to the body to open the cover. In addition, by changing the position and the number of the concave portion 584 and the convex portion 586, the purpose of the mobile phone cover body having a plurality of rest positions relative to the body can be achieved, which is an 93313461 which cannot be realized by the ordinary torsion spring hinge structure (P No. A0101 No. 9) Page / Total 18 pages 1013016922-0 1378706 101. 01月13日 [0020] It can be understood that the hinge structure of the present invention can also be provided without the compression spring 4 and the resisting post 3 'the two ends of the torsion spring 2 can also be used in other ways In combination with the housing 5 and the main shaft 1.
