具体实施方式
为了更好的理解本申请的技术方案,下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行详细描述。

参照图1至图5,其中,图1为本申请一实施例提供的电子设备在打开120度状态的结构示意图;图2为本申请一实施例提供的一种电子设备在打开180度状态的结构示意图;图3为本申请一实施例提供的一种电子设备在打开270度状态的结构示意图;图4为本申请一实施例提供的一种电子设备在打开360度状态的结构示意图;图5为本申请一实施例提供的一种电子设备在闭合状态的结构示意图。
本申请一实施例提供了一种电子设备,如图1-5所示,该电子设备包括第一部分2和第二部分3,第一部分2和第二部分3之间转动连接转轴组件1。该电子设备可以为可折叠式的手机、平板、笔记本电脑等。其中,第一部分2和第二部分3可以分别为主机和显示屏,如折叠式的笔记本;或者可以为显示屏和显示屏,如可折叠式的智能手机或平板。为了实现电子设备的折叠,转轴组件1可以为双转轴或多轴联动的结构配合形式,以达到主机与显示屏之间的折叠,或显示屏之间的折叠。
现有技术中的双转轴机构在实现电子设备的折叠时,两个转轴之间只可相对转动却无法相对移动,无法使电子设备保持在固定的折叠角度,造成使用上的不便。而现在普遍采用的多轴联动,虽然能够使电子设备维持在所需的折叠角度,但为了达到此效果,其多轴联动机构所使用的零部件较多,装配复杂,对装配的要求较高,从而造成了成本的提升。
有鉴于此,以下以主机和显示屏之间能够折叠的电子设备为例,如图8所示,本申请一实施例提供了一种电子设备的转轴机构,该转轴机构包括至少一组转轴机构11,以将主机与显示屏之间连接,实现主机与显示屏之间的折叠。
为了能够达到主机与显示屏之间的折叠需求,如图10、图16和图17所示,转轴机构11包括多个转轴111,第一齿轮组116包括啮合的第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b,第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b分别连接转轴111,第一齿轮116a驱动与第一齿轮116a连接的转轴111绕与第二齿轮116b连接的转轴111转动,以形成传动组119;第二齿轮组117,第二齿轮组117包括啮合的第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b,所述第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b分别连接转轴111;在第一齿轮组116的带动下,第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b啮合转动;和/或,第二齿轮组117驱动另一所传动组119运动。
在同一传动组119中,两个转轴111通过第一齿轮组116中第一齿轮116a与第二齿轮116b的啮合连接,具体表现为,在折叠主机与显示屏时,外部的转动力施加于主机和显示屏中的至少一者,该转动力传递至其中一个传动组119中时,转动力传递至连接的其中一个转轴111,使该转轴111产生随显示屏或主机一起转动的转动力,该转轴111转动时产生一定的位移。与此同时,由于两个转轴111中第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的啮合,限制了两个转轴111之间的相对运动,从而通过两个齿轮的啮合以在该传动组119中通过转动力运动的转轴111绕另一个转轴111转动,以形成电子产品折叠时的产生折叠角度的主要来源。
在相邻传动组119中,相邻的转轴111通过设置的第二齿轮组117中第三齿轮117a与第四齿轮117b的啮合实现将上一传动组119的转动力传递至相邻下一传动组119,在上一传动组119中第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的啮合,使其中一个转轴111绕另一个转轴111转动,即两转轴111之间除相对转动外,二者之间还能够相对移动,两转轴11的相对移动能够实现电子设备的第一部分2和第二部分3的折叠。
为了将此种转动形式的转动力传递至下一传动组119中,上一传动组119与相邻下一传动组119中相邻的转轴111分别设置第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b,由于第二齿轮组117中的其中一个齿轮位于上一传动组119,另一个齿轮位于相邻的下一传动组119,第三齿轮117a会随上一传动组119的动作产生相应的转动力,随着第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b的啮合,从而将上一传动组119的转动力传递至下一传动组119,以使下一传动组119中的第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b啮合时,使其中一个转轴111绕另一个转轴111转动。当在转轴机构11中存在多个传动组119时,以此类推即可得出转轴机构11的转动原理。
因此,通过上述中第一齿轮组116实现传动组119内的两个转轴111的转动,第二齿轮组117实现传动组119间的转动力的传递,以通过第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117的联动,实现转轴机构11的转动,结构简单,配合稳定性较好,保证电子产品折叠的稳定性能。
作为本申请的一种具体实施方式,如图8和图9所示,相邻的第一齿轮组116之间无啮合。由于第一齿轮组116用于传动组119内的连接,第二齿轮组117用于传动组119间的连接,当转轴机构11中具有多个传动组119时,为了保证只在传动组119内实现一个转轴111绕另一个转轴111的转动,以通过此种转动形式产生折叠时夹角改变的效果,需要保证相邻的第一齿轮组116之间无啮合关系,即动力无法在相邻第一齿轮组116之间直接传递,只能通过第二齿轮组117传递相邻两第一齿轮组116之间的运动。
具体的,沿转轴111的轴向,第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117组交错排布;第三齿轮117a与一个第二齿轮116b同轴,第三齿轮117a和与其同轴的第二齿轮116b的分度圆不同;第四齿轮117b与另一个第二齿轮116b同轴,第四齿轮117b和与其同轴的第二齿轮116b的分度圆不同。为了实现上述中第一齿轮组116用于实现传动组119内的传动,第二齿轮组117用于将上一传动组119的力传递至下一传动组119,以使下一传动组119的第一齿轮组116啮合。而为了达到此种齿轮联动的效果,相邻传动组119中的第一齿轮组116无啮合,这需要在一个传动组119中同一转轴中的第三齿轮117a与第二齿轮116b的分度圆不同,且相邻的下一传动组119同一转轴111中的第四齿轮117b与该传动组119中的第二齿轮116b的分度圆不同,第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b才能实现啮合,以进行传动组119间力的传递。
在电子产品的折叠中,需要在驱动主机或显示屏中的一者转动时,另一者也能够在转轴机构11的作用下转动相应的角度,为了达到此种效果,需要对第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117中的齿轮做具体限定。即第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的齿数相同,且分度圆相同,第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b的齿数相同,且分度圆相同;第三齿轮117a的分度圆大于第一齿轮116a的分度圆。
在一种具体实施例中,当转轴111个数为3个时,如图18所示,其中相邻的两个转轴111通过第一齿轮组116连接形成传动组119,第三个转轴111与传动组119中相邻的转轴111通过第二齿轮组117连接,第二齿轮116b和第三齿轮117a均连接于同一转轴111。在外部施加转动力至传动组119时,设置第一齿轮116a的转轴111接收到该力后,该转轴111产生随外部施加力运动的趋向,产生位移,由于第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的啮合,使设置第一齿轮116a的转轴111绕另一转轴111转动,在此转动过程中,设置第二齿轮116b的转轴111在第二齿轮116b的带动下绕转轴111的轴线自身转动,转动过程中带动连接的第三齿轮117a与第三个转轴111的第四齿轮117b啮合,第四齿轮117b啮合 时的转动带动与其连接的主机或显示屏随之转动,从而实现电子产品的折叠。
当转轴111个数为4个时,如图8和图19所示,在四个转轴111中,前两个转轴111通过第一齿轮组116连接形成第一传动组119a,后两个转轴111通过另一第一齿轮组116连接形成第二传动组119b,第一传动组119a和第二传动组119b之间通过第二齿轮组117连接。在外部施加转动力至第一传动组119a时,设置第一齿轮116a的转轴111接收到该力后,该转轴111产生随外部施加力运动的趋向,产生位移,由于第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的啮合,使设置第一齿轮116a的转轴111绕另一转轴111转动,在此转动过程中,设置第二齿轮116b的转轴111在第二齿轮116b的带动下绕转轴111的轴线自身转动,转动过程中带动同轴连接的第三齿轮117a与第二传动组119b中的第四齿轮117b啮合,第四齿轮117b与第二传动组119b中的第二齿轮116b同轴,在第四齿轮117b的作用下,与其同轴的第二齿轮116b与第一齿轮116a啮合,从而带动设置第一齿轮116a的转轴111相对另一转轴111转动,带动与该第二传动组119b连接的主机或显示屏随之转动,从而实现电子产品的折叠。
本申请还提供了一种具体实施方式,如图18和图19所示,第一齿轮116a与转轴111转动连接,第二齿轮116b与转轴111固定连接;第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b分别与转轴111转动连接。以实现第一齿轮116a与第二齿轮116b的啮合使传动组119内其中一个转轴111绕另一个转轴111转动,第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b的啮合用于将传动组119力的传递传递至下一传动组119或齿轮组,提高配合的稳定性。
具体的,方孔和圆孔实现固定连接和转动连接。
在一种可能的设计中,如图8和图9所示,为了保证将第一齿轮组116的啮合力传递至第二齿轮组117,转轴机构11还包括第一连接件112,第一连接件112与啮合的第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b连接的转轴111固定连接;第一连接件112用于将第一齿轮组116的运动传递至第二齿轮组117。第二连接件113,在传动组119中,第二连接件113将相邻两个转轴111连接;第二连接件113与 一个转轴111固定连接,与另一个转轴111转动连接。
在转轴111的转动过程中,由于传动组119中的两个转轴111之间通过第二连接件113连接,在第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b啮合转动时,该第二连接件113用于限制第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b啮合状态下,第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b中的一者能够绕另一者转动,从而实现同一传动组119中的一个转轴111绕另一个转轴111的转动。
另外,由于啮合的第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b连接的转轴111之间通过第一连接件112连接,该第一连接件112用于将上一传动组119中的力传递以驱动第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b啮合,通过两个齿轮的啮合运动,以将力传递至另一传动组119中,带动本传动组119中的一个转轴111绕另一个转轴111转动。
更为具体的,在转轴机构11中,通过使第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117的啮合方向均相同的形式,使齿轮组之间的联动以使电子产品折叠的方式,能够使其折叠的稳定性更好,不会受到转轴的影响而受到制约。为了能够使在第一齿轮组116啮合时,位于同一第三转轴111b中的第二齿轮116b与第三齿轮117a的转动方向相反,第二连接件113还包括第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b;第一套筒113a的内壁与转轴111转动连接,第一套筒113a的外壁与第三齿轮117a固定连接,且第一套筒113a的外壁与第二连接件113固定连接;第二套筒113b的内壁与转轴111转动连接,第二套筒113b的外壁与第四齿轮117b固定连接,且第二套筒113b的外壁与第二连接件113固定连接。
为了能够更稳定的实现在对显示屏或主机中的任一者施加转动力时,通过第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117与第一连接件112、第二连接件113的共同配合带动连接的另一者显示屏或主机也随之转动,通过显示屏和主机的同时运动以节约用力和节约折叠同样夹角时所花费的时间。下面对第一齿轮组116、第二齿轮组117、第一连接件112和第二连接件113间的结构配合做进一步的说明:
在一种可能的设计中,如图9和图11所示,转轴111包括第一转轴111a、第二转轴111c和第三转轴111b,所述第三转轴111b位于第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c之间;第三转轴111b包括多个,多个第三转轴111b顺序排布于第一转轴111b和第二转轴111c之间。
在第一转轴111a、第二转轴111c和第三转轴111b之间,第一齿轮组116将第一转轴111a和第三转轴111b连接,第二齿轮组117将第二转轴111c和第三转轴111b连接,且第一齿轮116a转动连接于第一转轴111a,第二齿轮116b固定连接于第三转轴111b,第三齿轮117a转动连接于与第二齿轮116b相同的第三转轴111b,第四齿轮117b转动连接于第二转轴111c。在对主机或显示屏之中的一者施加转动力时,该转动力形成位于第一转轴111a或第二转轴111b的转动力和第一齿轮组116的驱动力,同时,通过第一齿轮组116将该转动力传递至第二齿轮组117,在第二齿轮组117的啮合作用下,将该转动力传动至未施加转动力的主机或显示屏。以使在对主机和显示屏的任一者施加作用力时,主机和显示屏都能够同时转动,以改变折叠夹角,以此能够节省施加的作用力,即可较快速的折叠至所需的角度。
并且,为了使推动主机或显示屏转动时,齿轮组能够接收到该力,第一连接部142和第二连接部143在分别与第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c转动连接的同时,第一连接部142和第二连接部143还与位于第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c中的某个齿轮固定连接,对于其固定连接的齿轮,根据齿轮组件113的啮合形式和转轴111数量以及折叠方向的不同均会产生适应性的调整(详见下述实施例)。
其中,如图8所示,在多转轴111状态下,最外侧的两个转轴111(即第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c)能够同时改变相对第三转轴111b的转动夹角,从而实现电子设备的折叠。
另外,由于位于最外侧的第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c分别连接显示屏或主机,转轴机构11是能够改变显示屏和主机之间的夹角,以达到折叠效果。 所以说,在折叠过程中,分别与显示屏和主机连接的第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c均需要绕第三转轴111b转动。而第一转轴111a与第三转轴111b、第二转轴111c与第三转轴111b之间设置的第一齿轮组116,需要使相邻传动组119中的第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b排布顺序相反。而在相邻传动组119之间,两个第二齿轮116b相对或者两个第一齿轮116a相对。
根据不同电子设备、不同用户的使用需求,上述各实施例中的第三转轴111b,可以包括1个,也可以包括多个,当包括多个第三转轴111b时,各第三转轴111b顺序排布于第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c之间。具体的,当转轴111个数为奇数(即第三转轴111b的个数为奇数)时,如图18和图19所示,第一连接部142与第一齿轮组116固定连接,第二连接部143与第二齿轮组117固定连接时,第一连接部142和第二连接部143转动方向相反,或者,第一连接部142和第二连接部143分别与第一齿轮组116固定连接时,第一连接部142和第二连接部143转动方向相同。
当转轴111个数为偶数(即第三转轴111b的个数为偶数)时,如图19所示,第一连接部142和第二连接部143分别与所第一齿轮组116固定连接时,第一连接部142和第二连接部143转动方向相反,或者,第一连接部142与第一齿轮组116固定连接,第二连接部143与第二齿轮组117固定连接时,第一连接部142和第二连接部143转动方向相同。
上述中对于转轴111的设置,无论转轴111的个数为奇数还是偶数时,在使与第一转轴111a连接的显示屏或主机沿顺时针或逆时针转动时,只要通过第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117的啮合与传递能够实现与第二转轴111c连接的显示屏或主机沿相同的方向或相反的方向运动皆可。而显示屏和主机分别能够沿相同方向或相反方向的运动,是为了满足不同的条件下、不同用户的折叠需求。对于电子设备所需折叠的角度较小的情况下,可以将显示屏和主机设计为同向的转动,只要保证其中一个的转动角度大于另一个的转动角度,同样可以实现电子设备的折叠。当对电子设备折叠的角度要求较大时,甚至 需要实现0到360度的折叠,需要将显示屏和主机设计为反向的转动,以满足不同的使用需求。
在一具体实施例中,当转轴111的个数为偶数时,以第三转轴111b为2个时做具体说明(如图9、图10所示):
转轴111包括第一转轴111a、第二转轴111c和第三转轴111b,一个传动组119中的第一齿轮116a转动连接于第一转轴111a,第二齿轮116b固定连接于相邻的第三转轴111b,第三齿轮117a固定连接于该第三转轴111b,第四齿轮117b固定连接于另一第三转轴111b,下一传动组119中的第二齿轮116b固定连接于固定有第四齿轮117b的第三转轴111b,第一齿轮116a转动连接于第二转轴111c。并且,第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117交错排布,第一齿轮组116所在转轴111的位置相同,以形成波浪形的排布结构,相邻的传动组119中的第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的排布顺序相反(即相邻传动组119中相邻的两个转轴111之间同为第一齿轮116a或同为第二齿轮116b)。由于两个齿轮组的分度圆不同,以使两个第一齿轮组116之间具有间隙,从而保证啮合时力的传递路径为从第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117之间交替组合而形成(详见下述)。
其中,各齿轮间力的传递路径及各部分具体配合关系如下:通过第二连接件113与设有第一齿轮116a的转轴111固定连接,与设有第二齿轮116b的转轴111转动连接,以使在折叠的过程中,当对第一转轴111a中的第一齿轮116a施加转动力时,第一齿轮116a与第二齿轮116b啮合,使第一转轴111a绕第三转轴111b转动,与此同时,由于第一齿轮116a与第一转轴111a转动连接,第一连接部142与第一转轴111a转动连接,第一转轴111a绕第二转轴111c的转动不会使第一转轴111a自身转动,而第二连接件113与第一转轴111a固定连接,在第一转轴111a绕第三转轴111b转动时,第二连接件113会随着第一转轴111a移动。而在第一齿轮116a与第二齿轮116b啮合时,第二齿轮116b与第三转轴111b固定连接,第三转轴111b会随着第二齿轮116b的啮合,沿啮合方向随之转动,第二连接件113与第三转轴111b转动连接,以通过第二连接件113能够 保证第一齿轮116a与第二齿轮116b啮合的稳定性,避免在第一转轴111a绕第三转轴111b转动时发生位置偏移。
并且,与第二连接件113配合的第一套筒113a至少部分连接第三齿轮117a,以使第一转轴111a绕第三转轴111b转动时,第三齿轮117a与第四齿轮117b产生啮合。
该第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b内壁分别与转轴111转动连接,外壁与第二连接件113固定连接,且该第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b延伸至布置于第三齿轮117a或第四齿轮117b与转轴111的配合间隙,以使该第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b外壁分别与第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b固定连接,该第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b内壁与第三转轴111b转动连接。通过此种结构的配合,以通过第二连接件113和第一连接件112在第一转轴111a绕第三转轴111b转动时,第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b的转动方向与该连接的转轴111的转动方向相反,第一套筒113a和第二套筒113b的转动带动第三齿轮117a与第四齿轮117b啮合,以使啮合方向与第一齿轮组116的啮合方向相同。
由于第四齿轮117b与该第三转轴111b上的第一连接件112设有第二套筒113b,在第四齿轮117b转动时,该第二套筒113b转动,以带动该第第二连接件113转动,从而第二连接件113带动与其固定连接的第二转轴111c运动,下一组传动组119中的第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b啮合,以使第二转轴111c绕相邻的第三转轴111b转动。从而通过此种结构配合实现在驱动第一转轴111a或第二转轴111c上连接的第二连接件113转动时,通过齿轮组的联动,即可实现另一个转轴111上的第二连接件113同时运动,从而实现同时进行折叠。
另外,如图14所示,为了使第三转轴111b之间齿轮啮合的稳定性,通过第一连接件112与将相邻传动组119中相邻的两个转轴111连接,即第二连接件113的一端与上一传动组119中的第三转轴111b固定连接,另一端与相邻下一传动组119中的第三转轴111b固定连接,两个第三转轴111b中分别转动连接第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b。
在采用上实施例实现电子设备的折叠中,两端连接的显示屏和主机两者转动方向可以相同,也可以不同。在转动方向相同时,只要使一端的第一连接部142与第一齿轮组116上最外侧的齿轮固定连接,另一端的第二连接部143与第二齿轮组117上最外侧的齿轮固定连接即可。为了达到折叠效果,只要适当调整各转轴111上的齿轮齿数,同样能够达到折叠一定角度的目的,在此不做具体说明。为了满足现有的电子设备能够实现0到360度自由翻转的目的,本申请重点以显示屏和主机两者的转动方向相反做详细描述。
为了保证显示屏和主机的转动方向不同,以实现0到360度自由折叠,最外侧的两个第一齿轮组116的齿轮分别固定连接第一连接部142和第二连接部143,以通过第一齿轮组116和第二齿轮组117的联动实现显示屏和主机之间同时靠近或远离。
其中,为了实现显示屏和主机之间反向能够转动的角度相同,第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的齿数相同,且分度圆相同,第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b的齿数相同,且分度圆相同;第三齿轮117a的分度圆大于第一齿轮116a的分度圆。
在主机与显示屏折叠0度或360时,如图20和图21所示,以四转轴111为例,第一连接部142和所述第二连接部143相互平行,第一连接部142和第一转轴111a的轴心与第三转轴111b的轴心之间的连线的夹角为m,第二连接部143和第二转轴111c的轴心与第三转轴111b的轴心之间的连线的夹角为t;第一转轴111a的轴心与第三转轴111b的轴心之间的连线与相邻第三转轴111b轴心之间的连线的夹角为n,第二转轴111c的轴心与第三转轴111b的轴心之间的连线与相邻第三转轴111b轴心之间的连线的夹角为f;第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b的齿数相同,且分度圆相同,第三齿轮117a和第四齿轮117b的齿数相同,且分度圆相同时,m=t,n=f,且m与n之和为90度。传动组119中第一齿轮116a与所述第二齿轮116b的齿数比为n:m,且第三齿轮117a与第四齿轮117b的齿数相同时,第一转轴111a、第二转轴111c和第三转轴111b转动至处于同一平 面。在折叠的电子产品中,m与n可调。
在一具体实施例中,第三转轴111b为奇数个时,位于转轴111上的齿轮组件的配合形式与偶数个时的配合形式相同,如图18所示,为齿轮组件配合的简单示意图,其具体部件的连接与配合与偶数个的原理相同,在此不做赘述。
在上述具体实施例中,当第三转轴111b的个数为偶数个时,转轴机构11还包括第五齿轮118,第五齿轮118设置于第二齿轮组117的端部,沿转轴111轴向,第五齿轮118用于将同一位置相邻轴之间力的传递;第五齿轮118的分度圆与第一齿轮116a和第二齿轮116b均不同。
并且,转轴机构11还包括扭力部113a;扭力部113a用于连接同一传动组119中的两个转轴111,扭力部113a的一端与设有第一齿轮116a的转轴111固定连接,另一端与设有第二齿轮116b的转轴111转动连接。通过扭力部113a的设置,在各转轴111转动时,提供摩擦扭力,以提高折叠时稳定性,确保电子设备开合效果。
其中,扭力部114包括胞套114a和胞体114b;胞套114a具有第一孔114c和第二孔114d,胞体114b套合于胞套114a的第二孔114d内,胞体114b与第二孔114d转动连接,胞体114b与转轴111转动连接,第一孔114c与转轴111固定连接。通过胞套114a与胞体114b的组合形式,提高了转动配合的效果,增强了扭力。为了进一步保证扭力部114的效果以及齿轮组件工作时适应各转轴111之间的相对位移,在第二孔114d上开有贯穿第二孔114d侧壁的第三孔114e。
另外,为了保证第一连接件142、第二连接件143与第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c转动连接的稳定性,且在第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c绕第三转轴111b转动时,产生一定的扭力,以达到较好的开合效果。如图13所示,设有驱动部115,该驱动部115包括固定连接有第一连接件142或第二连接件143的承架套115a,承架套115a开有第四孔115c,第四孔115c内配合有承架套体115b,该承架套体115b与第四孔115c转动连接,承架套体115b与第一转轴111a 或第二转轴111c固定连接,沿第四孔115c轴线方向,设有贯穿第四孔115c侧壁的第五孔115d。
在上述各部件之间所描述的转动连接和固定连接,具有多种的实现方式,如在转动连接时,两者的配合时配合部分的横截面均为圆形结构,在固定连接时,两者配合时的配合部分的横截面一者为圆形结构,另一者为方形结构。也可以为其他能够实现转动连接与固定连接的配合形式,在此不再赘述。
本申请提供一种具体实施方式,如图6和图7所示的电子设备,组成转轴组件1,通过固定连接部14将主机和显示屏之间连接。
本申请一实施例提供的电子设备中,转轴机构11为两组,分别将主机与显示屏连接。为了避免在折叠位置处有人手或某些物品的干扰,影响折叠效果以及外观的完整性,两组转轴机构11通过连接机构12连接。该连接机构12包括装饰管121、装饰盖13等。其中,如图6所示,两组转轴机构11中的转轴111之间设置装饰管121,未与装饰管121连接的另一端转轴111设有装饰盖13,该装饰盖13的侧端面与电子设备的外侧壁平齐。该装饰盖13能够使电子设备在折叠至不同角度时,从外部看,主机与显示屏的折叠处能够平滑过渡。
更为具体的,如图7所示,装饰管121和转轴111之间的连接,还包括支撑套122和套管124,该套管124与支撑套122套接,且两者套接配合的部分通过支撑杆123固定连接,以限制套管124与支撑套122之间的相对位移。然后支撑套122的另一端连接装饰管121,套管124的另一端连接转轴111,从而实现两者之间的连接。在此需要强调的是,转轴111与装饰管121、装饰盖13可以固定连接,也可以为可拆卸连接,在此不做具体限定。其中,上述支撑套122和套管124的可拆卸连接的形式,属于本领域常规的技术手段,其具体的配合结构及装配组合形式在此不再赘述。
其中,如图7所示,转轴机构11在分别与主机和显示屏连接时,通过固定连接部14实现转轴机构11、主机和显示屏之间的连接。其中,固定连接部14包括承架141、第一连接部142和第二连接部143。具体的,转轴机构11包括转 轴111,多个转轴111沿垂直于转轴111轴线的方向顺序排布,位于外侧的两个转轴111分别连接第一连接部142和第二连接部143,以通过转轴机构11将主机和显示屏连接。为了保证转轴机构11转动时能够更好的带动主机或显示屏的动作以实现翻转,由于与转轴111连接的装饰管121会随着转轴111的运动而运动,将位于外侧的两个装饰管121通过固定支架144连接承架141,承架141的另一端分别固定连接主机和显示屏。在手动推动主机或显示屏翻转时,通过承架141、第一连接部142和第二连接部143的固定连接,将力传递至转轴机构11,以提供转轴机构11运动的力。
在一具体实施例中,如图7所示,位于最外侧的两组第一转轴111a和两个第二转轴111c之间分别通过装饰管121固定连接,承架141的一端固定连接在装饰管121上,另一端固定连接主机或显示屏。另外,第一连接部142和第二连接部143均包括多个,分别用于不同转轴111的不同连接位置,包括,第一连接部142和主机或显示屏中的一者固定连接,第二连接部143和主机或显示屏的另一者固定连接。其中,第一连接部142和第二连接部143分别与第一转轴111a和第二转轴111c的连接,包括,第一连接部142与第一转轴111a转动连接,第一连接部142与位于第一转轴111a和上的齿轮固定连接;第二连接部143与第二转轴111a转动连接,第二连接部143与位于第二转轴111a和上的齿轮固定连接。
