Slide cover hinge and portable electronic device having the same

This creation is a sliding cover hinge, especially a portable electronic device with a touch screen that can improve the supporting force.

With the development of tablet PCs, the deformation of various tablet computers, such as slider panels, has gradually been developed to meet the user's usage habits. To facilitate user manipulation accustomed to keyboard input, the slide tablet combines a tablet with a base with a physical keyboard. The design of this product usually includes a sliding structure and a rotating structure. When using a touch operation, the tablet is superimposed on a base having a physical keyboard; and when a physical keyboard is to be used, the tablet can be relatively opposed by a sliding structure. Sliding open on the base to expose the physical keyboard, and then rotating and erecting by rotating structure to adjust to the angle suitable for viewing, such as the new patent "Sliding Structure (2)" of the Republic of China Announcement No. M425308 owned by the applicant. As shown, this is a slide tablet.

When the user inputs using the physical keyboard, the touch operation may also be performed at the same time. Since the screen is in the upright state, the screen is only connected by the bottom end shaft and the base, and the screen is easily affected by the touch of the screen. The support of the shaft is insufficient to shake or tilt backward.

For notebook computers, computers with touch screens are gradually becoming the trend of development in the future. Similarly, after the touch screen is stressed, it is also prone to sway or tilt backwards due to insufficient support.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a sliding cover hinge and a portable electronic device having the same, which comprises a sliding structure and a support member The support can improve the support of the hinge on the screen, so that the screen is more stable after being turned on, and the screen is prevented from shaking or tilting backward when the touch operation is stressed.

The technical means for the portable electronic device of the present invention comprises the aforementioned sliding cover hinge, the electronic device comprising a screen and a base, the hinge being mounted on both sides of the electronic device. The fixing frame of the hinge is fixed on the screen, and the fixing rail is fixed to the base.

When the screen is opened, the screen is rotated by the first rotating shaft. Since the distance from the first rotating shaft to the second rotating shaft is different from the distance from the third rotating shaft to the second rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft is slipped on the fixed rail by the sliding rail. And gradually slide forward, that is, the bottom of the screen will slide forward along the base, and the screen opening mode is to slide forward while rotating. And the screen and the support piece are separated by the rotation of the second rotating shaft, and the supporting piece is supported on the back of the screen. At this time, when the screen touch operation is stressed, since the support piece is supported on the back side and the sliding structure is connected to the base at the bottom end, the stability of the screen is greatly improved, and the shaking or the backward tilting can be avoided.

The two fixing brackets 63 of the connecting rod 6 are locked to the screen 7 of the electronic device, and the fixed rails 11 are locked to the base 8 of the electronic device. When it is opened, the screen 7 is slid by the first rotating shaft 3 at one end of the connecting rod 6, and the support member 2 is simultaneously driven by the second rotating shaft 4, and is rotated by the third rotating shaft 5 as a fulcrum, since the first rotating shaft 3 is second The distance of the rotating shaft 4 is different from the distance from the third rotating shaft 5 to the second rotating shaft 4, and therefore, the first rotating shaft 3 is slid forward on the fixed rail 11 by the sliding rail 12. That is, the bottom end of the screen 7 is slid open relative to the base 8 by the sliding structure 1, and the screen 7 and the support member 2 are rotated and separated by the second rotating shaft 4, so that the supporting member 2 supports the screen 7, for example, As shown in Fig. 5, it is a schematic diagram of opening about 70 degrees. Therefore, during the opening process, the screen 7 is slid open while rotating.

When continuing to open, please refer to Fig. 6, in order to open the schematic diagram of about 135 degrees, the screen 7 is rotated to open the side and slide forward, and the angle between the screen 7 and the support piece 2 The degree is gradually increased, and the screen 7 is opened to an angle suitable for viewing and touch operation. At this time, when the touch operation of the screen is stressed, the support piece 2 is supported on the back side, and the sliding structure 1 is connected to the base 8 at the bottom end. Therefore, the stability of the screen 7 is greatly improved, and swaying or tilting backward can be avoided.

In addition, since the creative hinge is disposed on both sides of the electronic device, the overall appearance of the electronic device is not affected, and the sliding structure 1 and the support member 2 and the rotating shaft of the screen, that is, the first rotating shaft 3 are integrated into one component, Make assembly easier.

Please refer to Fig. 7, which is another embodiment of the present creation. The aforementioned connecting rod 6 may also be omitted, and instead of two separate fixing brackets. As shown in the figure, one of the fixing frames 91 is sleeved on the first mandrel 30 by a circular shaft hole 910, and the fixing frame 91 is provided with fixing holes for fixing to the screen. The other fixing frame 92 is sleeved on the second mandrel 40 by a shaft hole 920, and the fixing frame 92 is provided with a fixing hole for fixing to the screen. Therefore, the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4 can be fixed to the screen by the two fixing frames 91, 92, so that the screen can be rotatably opened by the first rotating shaft 3, and the support member 2 can be rotated by the second rotating shaft 4 Provides support relative to the screen turning away.

Please refer to Fig. 8, which is another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the connecting rod can be replaced with two separate fixing brackets, and the fixing bracket of the first rotating shaft is formed at one end of the first spindle. As shown in the figure, the first rotating shaft 3 includes a first mandrel 30 and a frame 31 fixed to the sliding rail 12. One end of the first mandrel 30 forms a fixing frame 300, and the fixing frame 300 is provided with a fixing hole for locking Solid on the screen. The other end of the first mandrel 30 passes through the shaft hole 310 of the bracket 31 and is locked by a nut 32. The other fixing frame 92 is sleeved on the second mandrel 40 by a shaft hole 920, and the fixing frame 92 is provided with a fixing hole for fixing to the screen. Therefore, the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4 can be fixed to the screen by the two fixing frames 300, 92, so that the screen is rotatably opened by the first rotating shaft 3, and the support member 2 is rotated by the second rotating shaft 4 Support can be provided relative to the screen.
