Method for positioning pivot of pivoting unit of portable electronic device

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for positioning a pivot of a pivoting unit of a portable electronic device. By using superposed areas formed by a cover body and a body in an open state and in a closed state, the cover body and the body are alternatively superposed and the setting point of the pivot is found, so that in the closed state, the cover body and the body are tangent and occupy the minimum space, while in the open state, the cover body is centered to facilitate the use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pivot positioning method, in particular to a pivot positioning method for a hub in a portable electronic device. Background technique [0002] Portable electronic devices (such as mobile phones, digital cameras, etc.) have many different types to set the relative positions of their cover and body, one of which is to use the bottom surface of the cover to connect with the top surface of the body, and Set the screen of the electronic device on the top surface of the cover, such as US Patent No. US 7,319,892, US7,092,246, US Publication No. US 2007 / 0171195, US2008 / 0176607, US 2008 / 0232048, US 20080051162, US 2008 / 0125201, etc. . In the aforementioned patents, the cover can rotate or slide a distance relative to the main body to be in a closed or open state. When the electronic device is in the closed state, the cover body is overlapped with the main body so that the user can watch the display screen or directly control the ele...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Cooperating with the diversified functions of the portable electronic device, the hinge device in the prior art can make the cover body rotate together when sliding relative to the body, and in order to facilitate the user's operation, the center of the cover body and the body must be maintained before and after the rotation If the lines are aligned, in the prior art, multiple sets of complex tracks are used to set the hinge to achieve the above purpose. However, setting multiple sets of tracks requires more production costs, and foreign objects are easy to get stuck in the tracks, which will affect the cover. The smoothness of body rotation or sliding relative to the body

[0004] Furthermore, in order to enable the body to expose as much space as possible after the cover is rotated relative to the body, so as to provide more input units such as keys, the above-mentioned sets of tracks must be accurately set. , also must expend higher production cost, therefore, the prior art does have its inconvenience
