Description

Single-axis hinge that can be linked to external components

The present invention relates to a single-axis hinge, and more particularly to a single-axis hinge that can be linked to an external component during rotation.

Since the development of single-axis hinges, few manufacturers have introduced single-axis hinges that can push an external component during rotation, and the single-axis hinges are still only given the function for opening.

The main purpose of this creation is to solve the problem that today's single-axis hinges are only given the opening function and their application is limited.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a single-axis hinge that can be coupled with an external component. The single-axis hinge includes a fixed seat and a rotating shaft pivoted to the fixed seat and biased at an angle relative to the fixed seat. The rotating shaft is provided with an oblique rail, the fixing base has a body, a mounting post disposed on the mounting body, and a transmission rod disposed on the mounting post and pivoting with the mounting post as a fulcrum, The transmission rod has a working end disposed in the oblique rail and displaced in the oblique rail when the rotating shaft rotates, and pushing the external component according to the working end swinging in the oblique track position end.

In one embodiment, the fixing base has a mounting hole disposed on the seat body and assembled with the rotating shaft, and a limiting protrusion disposed adjacent to the mounting hole, the rotating shaft has a side facing the mounting hole and the limiting protrusion A rotation limiting track into which the block is placed to limit the angle.

In one embodiment, the rotating shaft has a sleeve disposed on the fixed shaft and a connecting member assembled with the sleeve, and the inclined rail is disposed on the sleeve.

In one embodiment, the oblique track includes a first segment and a second segment connecting the first segment, the slope of the first segment is opposite to the slope of the second segment, and the transmission rod is only displaced at the working end The push end is swung in the first segment or the second segment.

In one embodiment, the sleeve is integrally formed with the connector.

In one embodiment, the sleeve and the connecting member are separable members, and the connecting member has at least one limiting protrusion protruding toward the sleeve, the sleeve having at least one side of the connecting member and the limiting portion A limit groove in which the bumps are assembled.

In one embodiment, the sleeve includes a first pipe segment and a second pipe segment disposed in parallel with the first pipe segment, the diagonal track being defined by the first pipe segment and the second pipe segment.

As disclosed in the foregoing, the present invention has the following features: the present invention is provided with the oblique track on the rotating shaft, so that the transmission rod disposed on the fixed seat is subjected to the oblique orbit during the rotation of the rotating shaft. The oscillating motion is generated to push the outer component connected to the transmission rod, thereby giving the single-axis hinge a function other than opening, and the use of the single-axis hinge is increased.

The detailed description and technical content of this creation are described below with the following diagram:

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the present invention provides a single-axis hinge 100 that can be mounted on an electronic device (not shown) that enables two components to which the electronic device belongs. The operation of the opening, the so-called electronic device can be a notebook computer or the like. Moreover, in addition to the field of front field implementation, the single-axis hinge 100 can be implemented in other fields as needed.

Further, the single-axis hinge 100 can be interlocked with an external component (not shown) during the rotation, and the single-axis hinge 100 includes a fixing base 11 and a pivotal connection to the fixing base 11 and receives The shaft 12 is rotated by an angle relative to the fixed seat 11. The rotating shaft 12 is provided with an oblique rail 121. The fixing base 11 has a body 111, a mounting post 112 disposed on the mounting body 111, and a mounting post 112 disposed on the mounting post 112. 112 is a transmission rod 113 that swings at a fulcrum. Further, the fixing base 11 can be disposed on one of the components of the electronic device (such as the main body portion of the portable computer), and the rotating shaft 12 can be disposed on another component of the electronic device ( Such as the screen part of a portable computer). Moreover, the fixing base 11 is fixed after being assembled. Although the fixing seat 11 is illustrated in a plate-like structure, the aspect of the fixing seat 11 can be actually adjusted according to the design, and is not depicted by the illustration herein. limit. Moreover, the mounting post 112 may be integrally formed by the seat body 111, or may be assembled by additional components. The position of the mounting post 112 on the seat body 111 is to push the external component according to the transmission rod 113. The required thrust is set, in other words, the position at which the mounting post 112 is disposed on the seat body 111 depends on the fulcrum of the transmission rod 113. Furthermore, the transmission rod 113 is further connected to the external component (such as the connecting rod 20 shown in FIG. 1). The transmission rod 113 has a displacement in the oblique rail 121 and is displaced when the rotating shaft 12 rotates. The working end 114 in the oblique track 121 and a push end 115 for urging the outer component according to the position of the working end 114 in the oblique track 121.

On the other hand, the rotating shaft 12 can be implemented in a shaft state, and the oblique rail 121 can be directly formed on the rotating shaft 12 by machining. Moreover, the oblique direction of the oblique track 121 is not limited to the drawings, but can be adjusted according to the design (such as the operation of the transmission rod 113).

Further explaining the implementation of the present invention, it is assumed that FIG. 1 depicts the state in which the single-axis hinge 100 is not rotated, and FIG. 5 depicts the state in which the single-axis hinge 100 is rotated by the angle. First, when the member assembled with the rotating shaft 12 is forced to be displaced away from the other member, the rotating shaft 12 is simultaneously driven to rotate relative to the fixed seat 11. At this time, although the fixing base 11 does not move, the working end 114 of the transmission rod 113 is displaced in the oblique rail 121 due to the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, and at the same time, because the transmission rod 113 is due to the working end The displacement of 114 generates a wobble with the mounting post 112 as a fulcrum. In this embodiment, the displacement direction of the working end 114 will be opposite to the pushing end 115, as shown in the direction 30, 31 of FIG. Thereafter, the push end 115 will interlock the external component during the displacement process. For further example, the external component may be a keyboard module (not shown) assembled in the electronic device, and the keyboard module is connected to the single-axis hinge 100, and is performed on the electronic device. During the opening operation (that is, when the single-axis hinge 100 rotates), the keyboard module is pushed by the transmission rod 113 to perform an ascending or descending motion with respect to the housing of the electronic device. Specifically, the keyboard module performs an upward movement with respect to the electronic device housing when the two components of the electronic device are turned on, so that the electronic device can form a flow guiding space in the housing to assist heat dissipation. On the other hand, when the keyboard module is on the two components of the electronic device, the single-axis hinge 100 returns to the state of FIG. 1 , and the keyboard module is driven by the transmission rod 113 to perform a descending action, so that the electronic device is paralyzed. The thickness after the upper and lower is reduced.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in an embodiment, the oblique track 121 includes a first segment 122 and a second segment 123 connected to the first segment 122 . The slope of the first segment 122 and the second segment 123 In the opposite direction, the transmission rod 113 swings the push end 115 only when the working end 114 is displaced by the first segment 122 or the second segment 123. In the above, the opposite slope means that when the first segment 122 has a positive slope, the second segment 123 is a negative slope. As can be seen from the foregoing, the direction of displacement of the working end 114 and the pushing end 115 is opposite. Therefore, the present invention allows the oblique track 121 to have a turning in a direction, and the turning divides the oblique track 121 into two working sections. One of the sections is a force application section, and the other is a holding section. Further, the force-applying section means that when the working end 114 is displaced, the transmission rod 113 is oscillated, and the holding section refers to the displacement of the working end 114, the transmission rod 113 will not swing. The external component remains in the current state. In the present embodiment, the force applying section is the first section 122 and the holding section is the second section 123. Furthermore, the turning position of the oblique rail 121 can be determined according to the implementation requirement. For example, when the rotating shaft 12 is opened 90 degrees with respect to the fixing base 11, the working end 114 of the transmission rod 113 is displaced to the oblique direction. The turning to the track 121, that is, the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 before the opening of the fixed seat 11 is 90 degrees, the external component is linked by the driving rod 113, and when the rotating shaft 12 is opened relative to the fixed seat 11, After 90 degrees, the drive rod 113 will maintain the state of the outer assembly.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , since some electronic devices still have a limitation of the opening angle, in one embodiment, the fixing base 11 has a mounting hole 116 disposed on the mounting body 111 and assembled with the rotating shaft 12 . A limiting protrusion 117 disposed adjacent to the mounting hole 116 has a rotation restricting rail 124 that faces the mounting hole 116 and allows the limiting protrusion 117 to be inserted therein to limit the angle. Further, the rotation restricting rail 124 can be a notch provided by the rotating shaft 12 facing the mounting hole 116. The rotation restricting rail 124 is not disposed around the circumference of the rotating shaft 12, but is disposed at a local position according to implementation requirements. In this way, the rotating shaft 12 is in the middle of the rotation, as long as the limiting protrusion 117 bears against the end of the rotation restricting rail 124, that is, the rotating shaft 12 is restricted from rotating.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the fixing seat 11 can have a supporting wall 118 extending from the seat body 111 . The supporting wall 118 has an angle with respect to the seat body 111 , and the supporting wall 118 can be formed. There is this mounting hole 116.

In addition, the present reel 12 can be implemented in another manner in addition to the foregoing. Referring to FIG. 6 , in this embodiment, the fixing base 11 has a fixed shaft 119 which is assembled in parallel with the seat body 111 . The rotating shaft 12 has a sleeve 125 disposed on the fixing shaft 119 and a sleeve. The connecting member 126 is assembled with the sleeve 125, and the inclined rail 121 is disposed on the sleeve 125. Further, the fixed shaft 119 is parallel to the seat body 111, but does not necessarily need to be located at the same height. The fixing shaft 119 can be integrally formed with the seat body 111 or assembled on the seat body 111 by another member. Moreover, the inner diameter of the sleeve 125 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the fixed shaft 119, and the sleeve 125 and the fixed shaft 119 cannot be in a tightly assembled relationship, and the sleeve 125 needs to be rotated at least relative to the fixed shaft 119. . Moreover, the sleeve 125 may have the oblique track 121 after being formed, or may be formed after machining. In an embodiment, the oblique track 121 may also be formed with the first segment 122 and the second segment 123. For the description of the first segment 122 and the second segment 123, please refer to the foregoing, and no further description is provided herein. . Moreover, the connector 126 is used to assemble one of the components of the electronic device, and the connector 126 is not limited to the drawings. The connecting member 126 can be integrally formed with the sleeve 125, as shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 7 , in addition to the foregoing, the connecting member 126 can also be a separable member with the sleeve 125 , and the connecting member 126 has at least one limiting protrusion 127 protruding toward the sleeve 125 , the sleeve The tube 125 has a limiting recess 128 for engaging the connecting member 126 and the limiting protrusion 127 on at least one side. Therefore, after the limiting protrusion 127 is assembled with the limiting groove 128, the sleeve 125 will not be able to rotate relative to the connecting member 126, so that the sleeve 125 and the connecting member 126 are co-operating.

Referring to FIG. 8 , in an embodiment, the sleeve 125 can be implemented in a plurality of sections, and includes a first tube section 129 and a second tube section 120 disposed in parallel with the first tube section 129. The oblique track 121 is defined by the first pipe section 129 and the second pipe section 120. Further, the first pipe section 129 facing the end of the second pipe section 120 and the end of the second pipe section 120 facing the first pipe section 129 may have a plurality of connection structures respectively, so that the assembly structure The first pipe section 129 is in a combined relationship with the second pipe section 120 and does not rotate relative to each other.
