Benefits of technology

The present disclosure relates to a communication system for electronic devices that addresses limitations of conventional communication systems. The invention provides an improved communication system that includes a hinge assembly pivotally connecting the cover and base of an electronic device, with a first hinge subassembly fixed to the base and a second hinge subassembly fixed to the cover. The second hinge subassembly includes a second joint axle and an insulating sleeve to insulate the communication system from the second joint axle. The communication system includes a first signal line and a second signal line, with the first signal line including an arched flat cable and a straight flat cable, and the second signal line including an arched flat cable and a straight flat cable. The invention improves the durability and reliability of the communication system, and reduces the likelihood of damage to the cables when the cover rotates.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the cover rotates with respect to the base around the hinge assembly, the cables or wires frequently bend and can easily break with use.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]References will now be made to the drawings to describe certain inventive embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0010]Referring to FIG. 1, an electronic device 99 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment includes a base 20, a cover 30, a hinge assembly 40 pivotally connecting the cover 30 and the base 20, and a communication system 60 electrically connecting circuits (not shown) disposed in the cover 30 and the base 20.

[0011]The base 20 and the cover 30 are both substantially cuboid. The base 20 includes two fastening portions (not shown). The cover 30 includes a pair of sleeves 32 formed at a connecting side of the cover 30 connected to a connecting side of the base 20 via the hinge assembly 40. The two sleeves 32 have the same axis.

[0012]The hinge assembly 40 includes two first hinge subassemblies 42 and a second hinge subassembly 44 coaxially disposed between the two first hinge subassemblies 42. The two first hinge subassemblies 42 are fixed to the connecting side of one...

Abstract

A communication system electrically connecting circuits in a hinged cover and base of an electronic device includes an arched first flat cable wrapping around and rotatable with respect to a hinge assembly, a straight second flat cable electrically connected to the first flat cable and disposed in the base, an arched third flat cable wrapping around the first flat cable electrically connected to and rotatable with respect to the first flat cable, and a straight fourth flat cable electrically connected to the third flat cable and disposed in the cover. Also provided is an electronic device including a base, a cover, a hinge assembly pivotally connecting the cover to the base, and the communication system.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to communications, and particularly relates to a communication system and electronic device utilizing the system.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Electronic devices often include a cover, a base, and a hinge assembly pivotally connecting the cover to the base, which often includes a processing circuit. The cover can include a display screen electrically connected to the processing circuit by cables or wires.[0005]Conventionally, the often flat cables or wires may pass through a hole defined by the hinge assembly to electrically connect the processing circuit to the display screen, or proceed in a circular course bypassing the hinge assembly. However, when the cover rotates with respect to the base around the hinge assembly, the cables or wires frequently bend and can easily break with use.[0006]Therefore, an improved communication system for an electronic device is needed to address ...
