Embodiment 1

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 2-3 at the same time, FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a rotary support device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the rotary support device in FIG. 2 along the direction A-A'. As shown in FIGS. 2-3 , the rotary supporting device 20 mainly includes three parts, namely a base 220 , a carrying platform 240 and a pivot mechanism 260 . The pivot mechanism 260 is disposed between the base 220 and the carrying platform 240 to make the carrying platform 240 rotate relative to the base 220 . The carrying platform 240 has a clamping portion 250 mainly used for clamping objects, such as a portable electronic device or an optical drive. In this embodiment, the clamping part 250 has, for example, two clamping parts 252 respectively disposed on two ends of the carrying platform 240 . The clamping member 252 is preferably a concave structure, and the clamped objects can be placed in the recesses of the ...

Embodiment 2

[0020] Referring to FIG. 4 , it shows a cross-sectional view of a rotary support device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The difference between the rotary support device 30 of this embodiment and the rotary support device 20 of the first embodiment lies in the pivot mechanism 360 . As for other identical constituent elements, the original reference numerals continue to be used, and will not be repeated here. As shown in FIG. 4 , the pivot mechanism 360 includes a pivot 362 and a sleeve 364 . The pivot 362 is fixed on the base 220 , and its rotation axis is approximately perpendicular to the plane of the carrying platform 240 . One end of the sleeve 364 is fixed on the bearing platform 240 , and the other end of the sleeve 364 is sleeved on the pivot 362 so that the sleeve 364 can rotate relative to the pivot 362 . Because the bearing platform 240 is combined with the sleeve 364 to be fixed, and the pivot 362 is combined with the base 220 to be fixed, and t...

Embodiment 3

[0022] In order to illustrate the application of the present invention, an external optical drive using the above-mentioned rotary supporting device is proposed here. Referring to FIG. 5 , it shows a schematic diagram of an external optical drive according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5 , the external optical drive 200 includes an optical drive body 210 and a rotating supporting device. The rotary support device is, for example, the rotary support device 20 described in the first embodiment, and its constituent parts follow the original reference numerals of the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The optical drive body 210 is arranged on the rotary supporting device 20, and the two clamping parts 252 clamp the bottom end of the optical drive body 210 from both sides of the optical drive body 210, so that the optical drive body 210 is fixed on the concave structure of the two clamping parts 252. inside the notch. In this way, ...

Abstract

A rotary support device comprises a base, a support platform, and an axial connecting device, wherein the support platform is provided with a clamping part for clamping an object, and the axial connecting device is arranged between the base and the support platform, via which the support platform can rotate relative to the base.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rotary support device and an external optical drive using the device, in particular to a rotary support device connecting a base and a carrying platform with a pivot mechanism and an external optical drive using the device. Background technique [0002] The external optical drive is mainly connected with a desktop computer or a notebook computer by using a universal serial bus (USB) connector. Then place the external optical drive horizontally on the desktop or stand upright beside the host computer. In order to effectively use space, when setting up an external optical drive, it is usually chosen to place the external optical drive sideways. However, with the technological development of optical discs, the design of external optical drives is becoming thinner and smaller. Therefore, in order to securely place the external optical drive on the desktop, a supporting base is generally installed under the external optical driv...
