本申请的一些实施方式作详细说明。在不冲突的情况下,下述的实施方式及实施方式中的特征可以相互组合。
实施例
可折叠设备,如一些可折叠的手机、平板电脑等,通过转轴机构实现折叠或展开。
图1和图2示出了一种可折叠设备100,其具体为一可折叠的手机。可折叠设备100主要包括两个中框(分别命名为第一中框101和第二中框102)、柔性屏103和转轴机构110。第一中框101和第二中框102分别连接于转轴机构110的两侧,柔性屏103覆盖在第一中框101、转轴机构110和第二中框102上。通过转轴机构110,该可折叠设备100的第一中框101和第二中框102可相对展开或折叠,同时带动柔性屏103展开或折叠。可折叠设备100的展开状态请参见图1,折叠状态请参见图2。
图1和图2示出的可折叠设备100为外折设备,即折叠后的柔性屏103位于第一中框101和第二中框102的外侧。在其他实施例中,该可折叠设备100也可以为内折设备,即折叠后柔性屏103位于第一中框101和第二中框102之间。
在其他实施例中,可折叠设备100也可以是能够进行两次或两次以上折叠的设备,在此不做限定。
配合参见图3和图4,本实施例中,转轴机构110包括基座111和两个摆臂门板件115,两个摆臂门板件115分别连接于基座111的两侧,并用于分别连接第一中框101和第二中框102。
配合参见图5,本实施例中的摆臂门板件115具有一体的门板112和摆臂113,摆臂113用于可转动地配合于基座111,门板112用于支撑可折叠设备100的柔性屏103。
本实施例中,摆臂门板件115与中框和基座111分别转动配合形成转动副,通过这些转动副,在柔性屏103的展开状态下(见图3),两个门板112共面地支撑展开的柔性屏103;在柔性屏103的折叠状态下(见图4),两个门板112相对基座111转动一定角度,从而可靠支撑折弯后的柔性屏103,利于适配柔性屏103不同状态的支撑。
再次参见图5,本实施例中,摆臂门板件115包括门板112和多个摆臂113(图中为三个)。门板112为沿第二方向X延伸的长条形板状结构,且厚度方向沿第一方向Z。门板112用于支撑柔性屏103。多个摆臂113沿第二方向X依次间隔地成型于门板112,用于与其他构件形成旋转副。
图5中的摆臂113为双旋摆臂,由两个摆臂部分一体成型,双旋摆臂的一侧用于转动连接基座111、另一侧用于转动连接第一中框101/第二中框102,从而形成两个转动副。
图5示出的摆臂门板件115作为单一结构件用于转轴机构110,能够减小转轴机构110的装配零件数量,且能够降低门板112和摆臂113之间组装误差对转轴机构110的转动精度的影响。并且,通过一体成型,还可以减小门板112和摆臂113的额外连接需求带来的转轴机构110的厚度增加,利于转轴机构110乃至可折叠设备100整体厚度的减薄设计。
而一些已知技术中,转轴机构的摆臂和门板采用分别成型后连接的方式得到,即,先分
别单独成型得到门板和摆臂,然后将门板和摆臂通过焊接或点胶连接在一起。这种摆臂和门板分体设计成型后连接的方式,对单体零件精度要求较高,尤其单体零件的连接处的尺寸需要精确适配,制造成本较高。并且,通过焊接或点胶连接的连接方式,较难确保单体零件之间的相对位置精度,从而使得摆臂门板组合结构两侧的转动副精度难以保证,装配后的转轴机构容易卡滞,影响转轴机构的良率。
图5示出的摆臂门板件115,作为一个一体的结构件可以由两个或两个以上的成型部分构成。例如,摆臂门板件115包括两个成型部分,分别命名为第一成型部11和第二成型部12。摆臂门板件115的第一成型部11和第二成型部12划分可以根据需要确定。
例如,图6-图10示出了摆臂门板件115的第一种划分方式;图17-图19示出了摆臂门板件115的另一种划分方式,下面将分别介绍。
参见图6和图7,该实施方式中,摆臂门板件115的第一成型部11为图7中的门板112,第二成型部12为图6中的摆臂113。
该摆臂门板件115在制造时,可以先成型门板112,后通过二次成型的方式在门板112上成型三个摆臂113,从而形成一体的摆臂门板件115;也可以先成型三个摆臂113,后通过二次成型的方式在三个摆臂113上成型门板112,从而形成一体的摆臂门板件115。
在其他实施例中,摆臂113的数量也可以根据需要设置为其他数量,在此不做限定。
在其他实施例中,摆臂113也可以仅包括一侧摆臂部分,使其仅形成一个旋转副。摆臂113也可以替换为其他附接在门板112上的结构。
为确保门板112和摆臂113的可靠结合,本实施例中,在门板112和摆臂113上分别设置有用于相互配合的部分。
配合参见图8和图9,门板112为长条形板状结构,门板112沿厚度方向(即第一方向Z)朝向摆臂113的一侧表面为第一表面P1,第一表面P1凸设的凸台17。凸台17的在平行于第一表面P1的平面内的外轮廓的形状为非圆形,例如为多边形。门板112在凸台17外轮廓内侧的部分开设有两个连接孔K1,两个连接孔K1分别沿第一方向Z贯通门板112。两个连接孔K1沿门板112的长度方向(即第二方向X)间隔,使两个连接孔K1之间限定分隔部16。可选地,相邻的连接孔K1沿门板112的宽度方向(即第三方向Y)错开。
凸台17对应于分隔部16的位置凸设有凸柱18。可选地,凸柱18的最大外形尺寸设置在1.0mm以内。凸柱18可以为圆柱、棱柱或异形柱状结构。
本实施例中,连接孔K1包括第一孔段K2和第二孔段K3,第一孔段K2从第一表面P1凹入,第二孔段K3连通于第一孔段K2远离第一表面P1的一端,第二孔段K3的截面大于第一孔段K2,以使连接孔K1呈T形。其中,第一孔段K2的形状和第二孔段K3的形状可以相同或不同,例如图8和图9中示出的,第一孔段K2为腰圆形,第二孔段K3为矩形和单侧半圆结合的形状。
对应地,如图6示出的摆臂113包括主体部14和两个连接部15。主体部14包括两个旋转臂13,用于分别转动配合于基座111和中框。主体部14具有第二表面P2,且主体部14具有从第二表面P2凹设的凹槽C2,两个连接部15分别凸设于凹槽C2的槽底面,且两个连接部15沿第二方向X间隔,两个连接部15之间限定分隔槽C1;分隔槽C1的槽底面设有内凹的凹孔K4。
连接部15呈T形(结合参见图10),连接部15和主体部14构成工字形结构。连接部15包括第一连接段25和第二连接段26,第一连接段25连接于主体部14,第二连接段26连接
于第一连接段25远离主体部14的一端。
图10示出了图6的摆臂113一体成型于图7-图9的门板112后的状态。
参见图10,摆臂113通过二次成型的方式一体成型于门板112,第二表面P2叠合于第一表面P1,凸台17配合于凹槽C2,凸柱18配合于凹孔K4,两个连接部15分别配合于两个连接孔K1,且两个连接部15夹于分隔部16和凸柱18两侧。其中,连接部15的第一连接段25配合于连接孔K1的第一孔段K2,连接部15的第二连接段26配合于连接孔K1的第二孔段K3。
该摆臂门板件115中,连接部15配合于连接孔K1内,以使摆臂113和门板112结合成一体并形成相互限位,确保门板112和摆臂113之间可靠结合。通过主体部14和T形的连接部15构成的工字形结构来配合门板112,在摆臂113二次成型于门板112时,摆臂113的成型材料沿第一方向Z收缩形成抱紧力,将使夹于摆臂113的第二表面P2和第二连接段26之间的部分可靠地结合于门板112,确保两者的结合牢固程度,且能够可靠地限止摆臂113相对门板112沿第一方向Z的位移,提高两者的一体性和结构尺寸精度。
对于连接孔K1呈沿门板112的长度方向(即第二方向X)延伸的长条形的实施方式,连接孔K1和连接部15的配合能够限制摆臂113绕平行于第一方向Z的轴线相对门板112旋转,从而确保门板112和摆臂113的相对方向的一致性,保证摆臂门板件115的尺寸精度和一体化程度。
通过间隔设置的两个连接孔K1来配合摆臂113的两个连接部15,能够进一步挺高摆臂113和门板112的连接可靠性。同时,连接孔K1间的分隔部16配合在分隔槽C1中,能够进一步提高门板112对摆臂113沿第二方向X的限制作用。并且,位于中间的分隔部16能够限制摆臂113相对门板112沿第二方向X向左或向右的位移,限位效果更佳。同时,两侧的连接部15成型于分隔部16的两侧,在成型时能够分别以分隔部16为基准收缩,确保连接部15与门板112的相对位置准确,利于确保成型的摆臂门板件115的结构精度,确保摆臂门板件115与基座111或其中框的精确配合,确保转轴机构110旋转顺滑不容易卡滞。
多边形的凸台17和凹槽C2的配合限位能够进一步限制摆臂113相对门板112沿第二方向X或第三方向Y的位移,以及限制两者绕平行于第一方向Z的轴线转动。并且通过设置凸台17,加厚了门板112连接摆臂113之处的厚度尺寸,利于提高该处的结构强度和刚度,降低门板112该处受力变形或破坏的可能。同时,摆臂113设置凹槽C2来容置凸台17,减小了整体结构沿厚度方向的尺寸占用,利于结构小型化设计。
通过凹孔K4和凸柱18的配合,能够实现门板112和摆臂113在第二方向X和第三方向Y的定位和紧固,进一步提高门板112和摆臂113的结合牢固程度。并且,在摆臂113二次成型于门板112时,摆臂113的材料收缩会使得其凹孔K4周围的材料收缩沿第二方向X和第三方向Y包紧凸柱18,进一步提高了摆臂113和门板112的结合牢固程度。
相邻的连接孔K1沿第三方向Y错开设置的实施方式,提高了摆臂113和门板112在第三方向Y的总配合尺寸。同时,非共线的错开设置,还能降低共线情形下两个连接部15绕两者中心转动的程度,提高摆臂113和门板112的相对位置可靠性。
综合上述描述可知,图7-图10示出的摆臂门板件115,其门板112和摆臂113之间除了通过两者接触界面的材料结合力实现相互连接外,还能通过门板112和摆臂113两者之间在第一方向Z、第二方向X、第三方向Y上的相互限位结构以及限制旋转结构来确保两者的相对位置精度并使两者相互抱紧。
并在,对于先成型门板112,再在门板112上二次成型摆臂113的实施方式,先成型的门板112上的分隔部16和凸柱18可以作为摆臂113的成型基准,使得二次成型摆臂113时,摆臂113的两个连接部15均以分隔部16为基准相向收缩,确保成型后的摆臂113与门板112之间的相对位置精度。
通过二次成型的方式制造摆臂门板件115,也可降低了门板112和摆臂113结合面处尺寸精度设计要求。
图11和图12示出了门板112的另一种实施方式。图11和图12中的门板112与图8-图9的门板112的不同之处主要在于以下两点:
第一点,图11和图12的门板112中,其多边形的凸台17的外轮廓上的折角处设置圆角19或倒角20过渡。通过圆角19或倒角过渡,一方面可增大凸台17和凹槽C2的接触和结合面积,另一方面能够减小折角处的应力集中,降低了成型的摆臂门板件115在结合处收缩开裂的问题;
第二点,图11和图12的门板112中,第一孔段K2沿第一方向Z两端面处的边线设置圆角19或倒角20过渡,第二孔段K3沿第一方向Z靠近第一孔段K2一端的边线设置圆角19或倒角过渡。通过圆角19或倒角20过渡,一方面可增大连接部15和连接孔K1的接触和结合面积,另一方面能够减小折角处应力集中,降低了成型的摆臂门板件115在结合处收缩开裂的问题。
图13-图16示出的门板112和摆臂113,采用不同于图7-图10的门板112和摆臂113所采用的结合结构。
参见图14和图15,门板112开设有两个沿第二方向X间隔的连接孔K1,该连接孔K1为直孔,例如为长度方向沿第二方向X的矩形截面的直孔。两连接孔K1之间限定分隔部16。在连接孔K1沿第二方向X的两个侧面之间连接有条形部21,条形部21为沿第二方向X延伸的长条形结构,且条形部21位于沿第一方向Z靠近摆臂113一侧。
对应地,参见图13,摆臂113包括主体部14和两个连接部15,两个连接部15沿第二方向X相互间隔并分别一体成型于主体部14。两个连接部15之间限定分隔槽C1,连接部15为矩形块状结构,并具有沿第二方向X延伸的条形孔K5。
参见图16,条形孔K5适配条形部21,连接部15配合于连接孔K1,分隔槽C1配合分隔部16。二次成型于门板112的摆臂113,其条形孔K5各侧孔面包围条形部21,从而在第一方向Z和第三方向Y限位于门板112,同时连接部15和连接孔K1沿第二方向X端面的限位,可实现摆臂113和门板112在第二方向X的限位。此外,设置沿第二方向X的条形部21与摆臂113结合,能够实现门板112和摆臂113沿第二方向X的定位导向,确保两者结合后沿第二方向X的方向一致性。可选地,条形部21在垂直于第二方向X的平面内的截面为方形,如此可限止摆臂113相对门板112绕平行于第二方向X的转轴转动,确保了门板112和摆臂113的一体性和结合牢固程度。
同时,图13-图16示出的实施方式,其门板112同样可设置凸柱18来配合摆臂113的凹孔K4,具体可参见图7-图10的对应描述,在此不赘述。
图17-图19示出了图5的摆臂门板件115的第二种划分形式。
参见图17,摆臂门板件115包括多个子结构段22(如图17示出的三个子结构段22),子结构段22包括门板段23和一体设置于门板段23的摆臂113,门板段23和摆臂113可以采用同种材料一体成型,如铸造成型、3D打印成型等,也可以通过相同或不同材料二次成型。
多个门板段23沿第二方向X结合,从而形成图5示出的摆臂门板件115。相邻的子结构段22中的一个作为第一成型部11,另一个作为第二成型部12。
示例性地,图17中,中间的子结构段22为第一子结构段22a,两侧的子结构段22为第二子结构段22b。第一子结构段22a作为第一成型部11先成型,第二子结构段22b作为第二成型部12,通过二次成型的方式成型于第一子结构段22a。
第一子结构段22a的门板段23和第二子结构段22b的门板段23之间的连接方式见于图18和图19。
配合参见图18和图19,第一子结构段22a的门板段23沿第二方向X的端部设有第一叠合段24a,第一叠合段24a的厚度小于门板段23的厚度;第一叠合段24a开设有两个连接孔K1,两个连接孔K1沿第二方向X间隔,两个连接孔K1之间限定分隔部16。
第二子结构段22b的门板段23靠近第一子结构段22a的一端设有第二叠合段24b,第二叠合段24b朝向第一叠合段24a的一侧表面凸设有两个连接部15,两个连接部15沿第二方向X间隔并在两者之间限定分隔槽C1。
第二叠合段24b沿厚度方向与第一叠合段24a叠合,且两个连接部15分别配合于两个连接孔K1,分隔部16配合于分隔槽C1,两个连接部15分别夹于分隔部16两侧。
可选地,两个第一叠合段24a和第二叠合段24b叠合后的总厚度(沿第一方向Z的尺寸)等于门板段23的板厚。如此,成型后的摆臂门板件115,其门板112的厚度在长度方向保持一致。
该实施方式中的连接孔K1的形状和连接部15的形状可以参考图7-图10示出的实施方式。即,该实施方式中的连接孔K1可以设置为T形孔,对应地,连接部15呈适配该连接孔K1的T形,且连接部15和第二叠合段24b连接形成工字形结构。
通过连接部15和第二叠合段24b连接形成工字形,结合T形的连接孔K1,两第一叠合段24a和第二叠合段24b能够可靠地在第一方向Z、第二方向X和第三方向Y相互限位,确保两者结合形成的摆臂门板件115具有较高的一体性和结构精度。连接成工字形的第二叠合段24b和连接部15,通过二次成型工艺成型于第一子结构段22a时,还能够通过材料的收缩来抱紧另一子结构段22,能够进一步提高两者的结合可靠性。
在其他实施例中,连接孔K1也可以设为锥形孔,对应地,连接部15设置为倒锥形。通过锥形孔和倒锥形的配合,利于第一叠合段24a和第二叠合段24b相互抱紧。
本实施例中,通过第一成型部11和第二成型部12一体成型形成摆臂门板件115的方式,除了用于前述摆臂门板件115外,还可以用于可折叠设备100的门板、轴盖、支撑板或其他结构,也可以用于其他产品的结构件,在此不做限定。
本实施例还提供转轴机构的制备方法,用于制备前述转轴机构110。
结合前述附图,本实施例中的转轴机构110的制备方法包括:
制备第一成型部11;
在第一成型部11上二次成型形成第二成型部12,以使第二成型部12与第一成型部11成型为一体的摆臂门板件115,且成型的第二成型部12的相邻连接部15夹于分隔部16两侧。
可选地,第一成型部11通过MIM(Metal Injection Molding,金属注射成型)工艺、3D打印成型工艺、冲锻成型工艺、CNC(Computer Numerical Control,计算机数字控制)加工工艺或非晶成型工艺成型;第一成型部11采用的成型材质为MIM类金属、冲压类金属、3D打印类金属或非晶类金属;
可选地,第二成型部12通过MIM工艺、非晶成型工艺或注塑成型工艺一体成型于第一成型部11;第二成型部12采用的成型材料为MIM类金属、非晶类金属、塑胶或Peek(聚醚醚酮)类材质。
摆臂门板件115可采用多次成型的方式制得。根据各成型部的划分、成型次序不同,可选用多种制备方法,下文将示例性地介绍。
第一种制备方法:
摆臂门板件115被划分为门板112和多个摆臂113。将摆臂门板件115的门板112作为第一成型部11,通过一次成型制备;摆臂113作为第二成型部12,通过二次成型工艺成型在门板112上,从而得到一体的摆臂门板件115。
一次成型中,门板112的成型材料可以为不锈钢、钛合金等,成型方法可以为MIM成型、3D打印成型、精密铸造成型、冲锻后CNC加工成型、非晶成型等。门板112用于与摆臂113结合的结构(如前述的连接孔K1)可以在一次成型中直接成型于门板112上,也可以在一次成型后通过后制程(如CNC加工)加工于门板112上。
二次成型中,摆臂113可采用二次MIM成型、二次真空压铸、二次注塑成型等方式成型于门板112上。二次成型的材料可以与一次成型的材料相同,也可以不同。
结合前述设计为工字形的摆臂113和带T字形的连接孔K1的门板112的配合,以及双连接部15、凸台17、凸柱18等结构设计,在摆臂113成型于门板112后,摆臂113与门板112之间形成双孔定位柱错层结构,能够实现第一方向Z、第二方向X和第三方向Y的相互定位和连接,还能够实现防相对旋转能功能,且成型的摆臂113的两个连接部15分别以分隔部16为基准收缩,能够得到可靠性和精度均较高的摆臂门板件115。
第二种制备方法:
相对第一种制备方法,调换了门板112和摆臂113的成型次序,多个摆臂113作为第一成型部11一次成型;然后在多个摆臂113上二次成型得到作为第二成型部12的门板112,从而得到一体的摆臂门板件115。
第三种制备方法:
相对第一种制备方法,改变摆臂门板件115的划分方式,将摆臂门板件115沿长度方向(即第二方向X)划分为多个子结构段22。首先一次成型一个或几个子结构段22(定义为第一子结构段22a),然后在已成型的子结构段22的基础上,二次成型出剩下的子结构段22(定义为第二子结构段22b)。例如采用图17中的方式,将摆臂门板件115划分为三个子结构段22,一次成型时,先成型中间的子结构段22(即第一子结构段22a),然后再在中间的子结构段22上二次成型出左边的子结构段22(即第二子结构段22b)和右边的子结构段22(即第二子结构段22b),从而得到一体的摆臂门板件115。该处的“左边”、“中间”、“右边”以图17中的状态描述。
相邻的第一子结构段22a和第二子结构段22b通过第一叠合段24a的两连接孔K1和第二叠合段24b的两连接部15结合,能够实现可靠结合。在连接位置可能存在清晰的分界线。
其中,一次成型可以采用MIM工艺,得到的第一子结构段22a的长度(沿第二方向X的尺寸)可限定为小于70.0mm。
该制备方法适用于长度大于60.0mm的摆臂门板件115。
在摆臂门板件115厚度较小,无法在厚度上分层为第一叠合段24a和第二叠合段24b时,可直接使第一子结构段22a和第二子结构段22b的长向端面结合,再通过额外的焊接等方式
加强结合强度。
在其他实施例中,摆臂门板件115还可以采用其他制备方法,例如通过如不锈钢、钛合金、锆基非晶合金等材料单次成型而得,得到的摆臂门板件115的各部分无明显分界线或分界面。单次成型的方式可以为MIM成型、非晶成型、3D打印成型、精密铸造等。
综合以上描述,本申请实施例中的转轴机构110,其第一成型部11和第二成型部12结合强度较高且通过第一成型部11的分隔部16作为基准二次成型出的第二成型部12的相邻连接部15,能够确保摆臂113和门板112之间具有更高的相对位置精度,利于转轴机构110与其他结构的转动配合顺滑而不易卡滞。
以上实施方式仅用以说明本申请的技术方案而非限制,尽管参照以上较佳实施方式对本申请进行了详细说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解,可以对本申请的技术方案进行修改或等同替换都不应脱离本申请技术方案的精神和范围。
