Description

SLIDING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING SLIDING DEVICE

The present invention relates to a slide device and an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a mobile, or an electronic notebook / small personal computer using the slide device.

For example, a conventional foldable mobile phone is provided with an operation unit on which the numeric keys and function keys are arranged on the upper surface side of the lower main unit, and a liquid crystal panel on which a predetermined display is made by the key operation of the operation unit. The display part is provided on the lower surface side (polymerization side) of the superposition part on the upper side, this main part and superposition part are connected via a hinge device, and the main part and superposition part are folded in half and operated From the folded superposition blockage state in which the part is concealed by the superposition part, the superposition part is swung upside down by the hinge device and inverted to be switched to the open state in which the operation part and the display part are exposed.

Therefore, in the conventional electronic equipment that covers the operation part of the main body part with the overlapping and rotating superposition part, it can be folded and compactized, but the display part is also concealed in the superposition state where the operation part is concealed. In many cases, use in a compact state is inevitably limited.

In addition, when operating the operation unit, it is necessary to wake up a heavy overlapping unit provided with a display unit and rotate it in a reverse direction, which has a drawback that it is difficult to perform this opening / closing operation (especially an opening operation).

Therefore, if it is configured to open and close by sliding the overlapping part in the front-rear direction along the overlapping surface instead of opening and closing by rolling up and down, a display part can be provided on the upper side of the overlapping part, For example, when it is not used or when it is superposed when no key operation is required, in other words, the display part is placed on the upper side even in a compact state where the operation part is hidden by superimposing the superposition part with the display part on the main body part It is possible to visually recognize and function the display unit, and in this case, it is possible to display the operation by operating on a touch panel type, or the state where the operation unit is exposed from the compacted state When switching to, it can be done by sliding the overlapping part in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction along the overlapping surface. Easily performed, the use versatility and the equipment device, yet the opening and closing operation can be facilitated cellular phone, the electronic equipment such as mobile.

However, such a conventional slide opening and closing method is configured to open and close by simply moving in the overlapping surface direction (horizontal direction), so that the overlapping portion is always relative to the main body portion in both the slide overlapping position and the slide opening position. They are superposed in parallel, and the upper surface of the superposition part remains flat.

On the other hand, in the case of the above-described undulation rotation method, when the overlapping portion is undulated and reversed and opened, the opening and rotation more than a predetermined rotation is prevented by a stopper mechanism or the like so that it does not reverse 180 degrees. Thus, in the rotation open state, the exposed surface and the inverted exposed surface are not flat, and are often configured to be in an inclined state within a range of several degrees to 20 degrees.

That is, in particular, when a display unit is provided on the reverse exposure surface (the reverse upper surface which is the concealed surface) of the overlapping part, the rising and tilting state is within a range of several degrees to 20 degrees at the rotation open position (use position). It is configured so that the display can be easily seen from the front.

On the other hand, with the conventional slide opening and closing method, it is not possible to provide such an angle simply by sliding in parallel with a flat surface, the use application is limited, it may be difficult to handle, especially when a display part is provided Is not easy to see because it does not get up and incline.

Therefore, the applicant can provide a tilt-up mechanism in the slide structure that realizes the slide opening / closing method, so that, for example, the slide is gradually angled or slides to a predetermined slide position, or at least the slide end slide opens. It is configured to automatically rise and tilt at the position (tilt up), and by simply sliding, it automatically rises slightly from the parallel and compact overlapping state at the slide open position, making it easy to use and expanding its usage In particular, when the display unit is provided on the upper surface, when sliding from the compacted overlapped closed position to the slide open position, the slide tip automatically rises slightly forward and tilts, making it very easy to see and very practical. Electricity using a revolutionary slide device We have developed a device (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-74411).

However, by simply curving the slide guide mechanism and regulating the slide direction, the overlapping portion slides along the curved slide guide mechanism, and the overlapping portion rises slightly at the end of the slide and is inclined. Since the curved slide guide mechanism is provided, the thickness is inevitably increased and obstructing the reduction in thickness, and when the overlapped portion is viewed from the side, the curved slide guide portion is visible and the appearance is poor and the design is often poor.

In addition, it is proposed to automatically raise the turn by a turning mechanism provided separately from the slide guide mechanism at the end of the slide so that it rises at the end of the slide, which is very innovative, but the structure is There is a risk that it becomes complicated and expensive.

On the other hand, a return bias is generated until a predetermined amount of sliding occurs, and a closing bias is generated in a superposed blockage state, and if the slide exceeds a predetermined amount, this time, an automatic bias occurs, and the slide operation becomes lighter or automatic. It is desirable to provide a slide biasing mechanism that is configured to slide so that an open bias is generated at the end of the slide. In this case, the main body portion and the overlapping portion are connected by a spring that realizes the slide biasing mechanism. It becomes.

Tilt-up tilt at the end of the slide where one of the convex portions 10 has moved up the guiding inclined surface 12 provided on the tilt-up cam surface 8 and rotated approximately 90 degrees. The rotation link portion 5 is slightly raised and inclined by the surface 11, and the second member 2 is slightly raised and inclined (tilt up about 8 degrees).

In addition, the distal end portion of the rotation link portion 5 arranged side by side in this manner is pivotally attached to the second connection portion 4 that employs a plate material attached to the overlapping surface of the second member 2. The pivoting portion is slidably provided so as to be contactable / separable in the left-right direction, and a slide urging mechanism 14 is provided between the front end portions of the opposing cam portions 6 so that a return urging occurs halfway along the slide, While realizing the slide urging mechanism 14 that automatically advances from the middle and generates urging, the cam portion 6 and the cam engaging portion 7 are connected to the base end portion of the rotation link portion 5 provided with the slide urging mechanism 14. The tilt-up cam mechanism 9 is incorporated so as to be realized.

Specifically, the distal end portion of each rotation link portion 5 is pivotally attached to the plate-like second connection portion 4 connected to the second member 2 instead of directly to the second member 2. The second member 2 is configured to be slidable linearly so as to be movable in the direction. The plate-like second connecting portion 4 is provided with a slide guide hole 16, and a slide pivoting portion 17 is slidably provided in the slide guide hole 16 that functions as a slide stopper.

Further, in this embodiment, the respective rotation link portions 5 are connected by the synchronization links 18 so that the left and right rotation link portions 5 can be smoothly rotated in synchronism with each other without backlash and the slide can be smoothly performed. That is, the synchronization link 18 is constructed and connected between the base end portions so as to connect the base end portions of the rotary link portions 5.

Specific Example 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The present embodiment is a slide device similar to that of the first embodiment, but the configuration of the synchronization link 18 and the configuration of the tilt-up cam mechanism 9 are different, and the other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the synchronization link 18 and the configuration provided with this synchronization link 18 are as follows.

The synchronous link 18 has a configuration in which four link bracket plates 21 are combined. Specifically, both end portions of each link bracket plate 21 are pivotally attached to each other and formed into a deformable quadrangular shape.

Of the two pairs of pivoting portions 20 that are opposed to each other on the diagonal line of the quadrangular synchronization link 18, one pair of pivoting portions 20 is pivotally attached to the distal end portion of the rotary link portion 5, and the other set The pivoting portion 20 is provided in a groove-like fitting portion 22 disposed in the center portion of the second connecting portion 4 in the overlapping surface direction so as to be slidable in the overlapping surface direction.

Further, a slide pivoting portion 17 is provided on the base end side with respect to the distal end portion of the rotation link portion 5, and the slide pivoting portion 17 is formed in the slide guide hole 16 orthogonal to the overlapping surface direction provided in the second connecting portion 4. It is slidably movable along.

With the configuration as described above, the movement of each part when the second member 2 is slid back and forth with respect to the first member 1 is slid while the respective rotation link parts 5 are reciprocatingly rotated toward the opposite inner side. The pivoting portion 17 reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the overlapping surface direction, and the synchronous link 18 moves vertically (long in the overlapping surface direction) or horizontally long (in the overlapping surface direction) as the slide pivoting portion 17 moves back and forth. It is deformed into a rhombus state that is long in the direction orthogonal to.

Specifically, for example, when the first member 1 and the second member 2 slide the second member 2 in the overlapping surface direction from the overlapped blocking position to bring the operating portion into an exposed state, In the state, each slide pivot portion 17 provided in each rotation link portion 5 is located at an outer end portion of each slide guide hole 16 orthogonal to the overlapping surface direction provided in the second connection portion 4, and each slide pivot portion 17. The space is the farthest away, and the synchronization link 18 has the most horizontally long diamond shape.

When the second member 2 is slid and moved from this state to the direction in which the operation portion is exposed, each slide pivot portion 17 provided in each rotation link portion 5 moves inward of the slide guide hole 16. The synchronization link 18 is deformed from a horizontally long rhombus shape to a vertically long rhombus shape.

Further, when the second member 2 is in an intermediate position between the overlapped closing position and the state where the operation portion is completely exposed, each rotary link portion 5 is in a state perpendicular to the overlapped surface direction, and each slide pivot is attached. The portion 17 is located at the inner end of each slide guide hole 16 so that the slide pivot attachment portions 17 are closest to each other, and the synchronization link 18 has the longest rhombus shape.

Further, when the slide movement of the second member 2 progresses, each slide pivot 17 provided on each rotation link 5 moves to the outside of the slide guide hole 16 and the synchronization link 18 changes from a vertically long rhombus shape to a horizontally long shape. It transforms into a diamond shape.

When the second member 2 is slid to the slide opening position at the end of the slide and the operation unit is completely exposed, each slide pivot provided in each rotation link unit 5 is the same as in the overlapped blocking position. The portion 17 is located at the outer end of each slide guide hole 16 orthogonal to the direction of the overlapping surface provided in the second connecting portion 4 so that the slide pivots 17 are most distant from each other, and the synchronization link 18 is the most horizontally long The rhombus shape.

Thus, by providing the synchronization link 18, the operation of each of the left and right rotation link portions 5 is rotated smoothly in synchronism without rattling, and the slidability of the second member 2 is further smoothened. The slide device has excellent practicality.

In the first embodiment, the slide urging mechanism 14 employs an actuator type that is installed between the L-shaped tip portions of the slide pivoting portion 17 provided at the tip portion of the rotation link portion 5. However, in the present embodiment, the rotation link portion 5 is provided with one end of an anti-compression spring portion 15 such as a press spring or a torsion spring. Although the other end is provided in the connection part 4, the effect | action and effect are the same as that of a 1st Example.

The cam washer portion 24 is formed with a convex portion 26 that presses and slides against the cam inclined surface 25.

Specifically, the rotation shaft portion 13 is rotatably provided in the first member engaging portion 27 that engages with the first member 1, and the second member 2 side end portion of the rotation shaft portion 13 is connected to the first member engaging portion 27. When the second member 2 is slid in the overlapping direction with respect to the one member 1, it is provided in a laterally opposed state in a C shape or a reverse C shape that rotates in synchronization with the rotation operation of the rotation shaft portion 13. The base end portion of the rotation link portion 5 is fixed, the cam engagement portion 7 is fixed to the first member 1 side from this, and the cam washer portion 24 is further attached to the end portion of the rotation shaft portion 13 on the first member 1 side. It is stuck.

Further, the cam portion 6 that rotates relative to the cam engagement portion 7 is provided in a state where the rotation shaft portion 13 is in a penetrating state and is fixed to the first member engagement portion 27, and the cam is rotated relative to the cam washer portion 24. A rotation preventing projection is formed on the bearing tube portion 23, the cam bearing tube portion 23 is pivotally attached to the rotating shaft portion 13, and a rotation preventing recess is formed on the first member engaging portion 27, thereby forming the cam bearing tube portion 23. Is provided so as to engage with the rotation stop.

In this embodiment, the cam portion 6 that rotates relative to the cam engaging portion 7 is provided as a separate member and fixed to the first member engaging portion 27. For example, the convex portion 10 of the cam portion 6 is provided. The first member engaging portion 27 may be formed in advance to form the first member engaging portion 27 in which the cam portion 6 and the first member engaging portion 27 are integrated.

Accordingly, the cam member 6 and the cam engaging portion 7 are rotated relative to each other by sliding the second member 2 with respect to the first member 1 from the overlapped closed position to the overlapped surface direction in which the operation portion is exposed. At the same time, the tilt-up inclined surface 11 of the tilt-up cam surface 8 provided on the cam engaging portion 7 and the convex portion 10 provided on the cam portion 6 are pressed and slid, and the cam engaging portion 7 is rotated horizontally. In response to this, the turning shaft portion 13 is inclined, and the turning link portion 5 fixed to the turning shaft portion 13 is also inclined, and the second member 2 is raised and inclined.

On the other hand, the cam washer portion 24 and the cam bearing tube portion 23 are also relatively rotated in synchronization with the relative rotation between the cam portion 6 and the cam engagement portion 7, and the cam inclined surface 25 provided on the cam bearing tube portion 24 is The convex portion 26 provided on the cam washer portion 24 is pressed and slid to reduce the height interval between the cam washer portion 24 and the cam bearing tube portion 23, and the rotation shaft portion 13 moves upward by this reduced interval. Therefore, the convex portion 10 provided on the cam portion 6 can move upward while sliding on the tilt-up inclined surface 11 of the tilt-up cam surface 8 provided on the cam engaging portion 7. It has become.

In addition, the cam bearing tube portion 23 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape at the top, and the engagement surface of the first member engagement portion 27 that engages with the cam bearing tube portion 23 is also formed in a substantially hemispherical shape. is doing.

Thus, by forming the engaging part shape of the cam bearing cylinder part 23 and the first member engaging part 27 into a substantially hemispherical shape, the rotation shaft part 13 can be inclined when the second member 2 rises and inclines. Accordingly, the rotational movement of the cam bearing tube portion 23 can be smoothly performed without rattling.

Further, the second member 2 is slid relative to the first member 1 in the overlapping surface direction from the exposed state to the overlapped closed position, so that each part performs the reverse operation described above and the overlapped closed state. However, when the first member 1 and the second member 2 are in the overlapped closed position, the convex portion 26 provided on the cam washer portion 24 is located at the top of the cam inclined surface 25 of the cam bearing tube portion 23, That is, the rotation shaft portion 13 is at the lowest position.

That is, when the first member 1 and the second member 2 are in the overlapped closing position, the rotation shaft portion 13 cannot move in the vertical direction due to the engagement of the cam washer portion 24 and the cam bearing tube portion 23. The second member 2 does not float or rattle with respect to the one member 1.

Further, in this embodiment, a cam biasing spring 19 in a retracted state is provided between the cam bearing tube portion 23 and the cam washer portion 24, and the cam washer is driven by a force that the cam biasing spring 19 tries to extend from the retracted state. The portion 24 is pressed, whereby the same force is applied to the rotating shaft portion 13. That is, a force for moving the rotating shaft portion 13 in the direction of the first member 1 is applied to the rotating shaft portion 13. Since the force by which the portion 6 presses the cam engaging portion 7 acts, the backlash between the portions of the tilt-up cam mechanism 9 is further suppressed.
