[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of door sliding, and more specifically, to a sliding door device. The present application also relates to an electronic device. Background Art

[0003] To improve the user experience, some desktop computer cases' plastic front panels are designed with large-span sliding doors for shielding and switching at locations such as the front I / O ports and optical drive ports.

However, in the prior art, track mechanisms are separately provided on both sides of the sliding door. When the moving point deviates far from the center of the sliding door, only one side of the sliding door is subjected to force, which makes it easier to tilt and get stuck, resulting in the entire sliding door being unable to slide synchronously.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a sliding door device, which realizes synchronous sliding of the entire sliding door 2.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-7 The sliding door device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a sliding door 2, a first motion mechanism group and a second motion mechanism group; the sliding door 2 is arranged on the base 1 through a sliding component, and the sliding door 2 can slide relative to the base 1 when subjected to an external force that meets the conditions; the first motion mechanism group is arranged at the first end of the sliding door 2; the second motion mechanism group is arranged at the second end of the sliding door 2, and the first end of the sliding door 2 and the second end of the sliding door 2 are opposite ends (according to the arrangement direction of the sliding door 2, they can be the left and right ends, the upper and lower ends, or the front and rear ends of the sliding door 2); the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group can move synchronously relative to the sliding door 2, so that, if the sliding door 2 is subjected to an external force that meets the conditions, the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group can slide the first end of the sliding door 2 and the second end of the sliding door 2 on the base 1 at a matching progress through the above-mentioned synchronous movement.

[0035] It should be noted that the external force that meets the above conditions refers to the force that can be decomposed into a force along the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 , and the magnitude of the force is sufficient to drive the sliding door 2 to slide relative to the base 1 .

[0036] During use of the sliding door device provided by the present application, when the position of the sliding door 2 needs to be changed and a satisfying external force is applied to the sliding door 2, under the action of the external force, the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group move synchronously relative to the sliding door 2, so that the first end of the sliding door 2 and the second end of the sliding door 2 slide on the base 1 at a matching progress, thereby achieving synchronous sliding of the entire sliding door 2 and preventing the sliding door 2 from tilting and getting stuck.

[0037] like Figure 6-7 As shown, optionally, the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group are connected by a connecting rod 5, and the connecting rod 5 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 on the base 1. Specifically, in order to improve the service life and strength, the connecting rod 5 is specifically a metal rod, and of course it can also be a plastic rod or a rod of other materials. In this embodiment, the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group are synchronized by the connecting rod 5, so as to drive the two ends of the sliding door 2 to slide synchronously. One end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the first motion mechanism group, and the other end is connected to the second motion mechanism group. The structure is relatively simple. The connecting rod 5 can also be replaced by a long connecting plate with a certain width, which does not affect the implementation of the present application.

[0038] It is understandable that the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group can also be connected by other structures, such as a belt drive mechanism, a chain drive mechanism, a four-bar linkage mechanism, a wireless signal connection mechanism, a coil-magnet matching structure, etc., to achieve the same synchronous motion effect.

[0039] Optionally, the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group have the same structure. In this case, the structures of the two motion mechanism groups are symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the sliding door 2. In this way, the present application only needs to process a motion mechanism group of one structure, which is convenient for processing and assembly. Of course, the structures of the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group can also be different, such as one is a crank slider mechanism and the other is a gear rack mechanism, as long as the two can move synchronously to drive the first end of the sliding door 2 and the second end of the sliding door 2 to slide on the base 1 at a matching progress.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, both motion mechanism groups include a motion block 3 that moves in a plane perpendicular to the sliding door 2 , one end of the motion block 3 is hinged to the sliding door 2 , and the other end is hinged to the base 1 and slidably cooperates with the base 1 .

[0041] When the sliding door 2 is subjected to an external force that satisfies the conditions and slides, the motion block 3 of the motion mechanism group converts the sliding motion of the sliding door 2 into a rotational motion of the motion block 3, and during the rotational motion, the motion block 3 avoids the movement distance that is not in the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 caused by the rotational motion by sliding relative to the base 1.

[0042] When the motion block 3 of the first motion mechanism group at the first end of the sliding door 2 rotates, its rotational motion is synchronously transmitted to the motion block 3 of the second motion mechanism group at the second end of the sliding door 2 through the middle connecting rod 5, so that the motion blocks 3 at both ends rotate synchronously, and the sliding of the motion block 3 relative to the base 1 is used to avoid the movement distance that is not in the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 caused by the rotational motion; at the same time, the motion block 3 of the second motion mechanism group converts the rotational motion of the motion block 3 into the sliding motion of the sliding door 2 through the hinge connection with the sliding door 2, thereby realizing the synchronous sliding of the entire sliding door 2 in the same plane.

[0043] In this embodiment, a single moving block 3 cooperates with the sliding door 2 and the base 1 to form a moving mechanism group, and through the transmission of the connecting rod 5, the first end of the sliding door 2 and the second end of the sliding door 2 slide on the base 1 at a matching progress. The structure is relatively simple, the number of parts is small, the assembly is convenient, the cost is low, and the sliding is smooth and continuous, and the synchronization effect is very good.

[0044] It is understandable that the motion mechanism group can also be other structures, such as a gear rack mechanism or a crank slider mechanism (in this case, the sliding door 2 acts as a slider structure), etc., to achieve the same effect of converting the sliding motion of the sliding door 2 into another motion, and then driving the first end of the sliding door 2 and the second end of the sliding door 2 to slide on the base 1 at a matching progress. This application will not go into details here.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the moving block 3 is hinged to the sliding door 2 through a sliding shaft 4, and the other end is provided with a U-shaped connecting portion with an opening toward the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a guide shaft 6 slidably located in the middle groove of the U-shaped connecting portion.

[0046] On the one hand, during the sliding process of the sliding door 2, its sliding motion is converted into the rotational motion of the moving block 3 around the sliding shaft 4. During the rotation process of the moving block 3, its U-shaped connection part rotates around the guide shaft 6 of the base 1, and slides relative to the guide shaft 6 of the base 1 (specifically, the guide shaft 6 slides in the middle groove of the U-shaped connection part), thereby avoiding the movement distance that is not in the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 caused by the rotational motion of the moving block 3; on the other hand, the connecting rod 5 synchronously transmits the rotational motion, driving one end of the moving block 3 to rotate around the sliding shaft 4, and the U-shaped connection part at the other end rotates around the guide shaft 6 of the base 1, and slides relative to the guide shaft 6 of the base 1. During the rotation process of the moving block 3, its rotational motion is converted into the sliding motion of the sliding door 2, thereby driving the synchronous sliding of the sliding door 2.

[0047] The motion block 3 of the present application converts the rotational motion of the motion block 3 and the sliding motion of the sliding door 2 through the sliding shaft 4, and the structure is relatively simple; alternatively, the motion block 3 can also be hinged to the sliding door 2 through a hinge; the U-shaped connection part can also be a rectangular block connection part with a waist-shaped hole. The present application can also set a sliding protrusion on the motion block 3, and set a sliding groove on the base 1 that rotates and slides with the sliding protrusion to achieve the same effect of the motion block 3 rotating relative to the base 1 and sliding relative to the base 1. The present application will not repeat them one by one here.

[0048] In order to facilitate assembly, the first end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the middle hole of the motion block 3 of the first motion mechanism group, and the second end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the middle hole of the motion block 3 of the second motion mechanism group. Specifically, the middle hole of the motion block 3 is a semicircular hole, and the first end and the second end of the connecting rod 5 are fixedly connected to the semicircular hole through a semicircular rod segment, so as to avoid rotation of the connecting rod 5 during transmission and improve working reliability. Of course, the connecting rod 5 can also be fixed to the motion block 3 by a screw.

[0049] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, a rectangular hole 11 extending along the sliding direction of the sliding door 2 is provided on the base 1, and the moving block 3 is located in the rectangular hole 11. Figure 5 As shown, the guide shaft 6 of the base 1 is located in the rectangular hole 11, so that during the rotational movement of the moving block 3 and the sliding movement relative to the guide shaft 6, a part of the moving block 3 is always located in the rectangular hole 11, and the rectangular hole 11 limits the moving block 3 to move only in the plane along the sliding direction of the sliding door 2, thereby preventing the moving block 3 from shaking in other directions, thereby improving the smoothness of the sliding of the sliding door 2. It can be understood that the present application can also be provided without the above-mentioned rectangular hole 11, and only the shaking of the moving block 3 is limited by the connecting rod 5.

[0050] Optionally, the first motion mechanism group and the second motion mechanism group are respectively arranged at the middle position of two opposite sides of the sliding door 2. For example, when the sliding door 2 is a rectangular door, the first motion mechanism group is arranged at the middle position of the first short side of the sliding door 2, and the second motion mechanism group is arranged at the middle position of the second short side opposite to the first short side; in this way, when switching the position of the sliding door 2, i.e., opening and closing the door, the sliding stroke of the sliding door 2 is small, which is convenient for operation. The above two motion mechanism groups can also be arranged near the edge position of the short side of the sliding door 2 or in the middle position of the long side of the sliding door 2, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0051] Specifically, the sliding components of this embodiment are two groups, which are respectively located at the two ends of the sliding door 2. The sliding components include a sliding groove 12 set on the base 1 and a sliding buckle 22 set on the sliding door 2. The sliding buckle 22 slides with the sliding groove 12 to achieve the sliding of the sliding door 2 relative to the base 1; the sliding component can also include the cooperation of sliding rails and pulleys to achieve the same sliding cooperation effect, which will not be listed one by one in this application.

[0052] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in , 6, the sliding door device also includes a distance-limiting buckle 21 for preventing the middle part of the sliding door 2 from arching during the sliding process. One end of the distance-limiting buckle 21 is fixed to the middle part of the sliding door 2, and the other end is slidably hooked on the base 1. Specifically, the distance-limiting buckle 21 passes through the slot of the base 1 and is hooked on the surface of the base 1 away from the sliding door 2. During the sliding process of the sliding door 2, the distance-limiting buckle 21 slides along the base 1 to limit the distance between the middle part of the sliding door 2 and the base 1. On the one hand, it prevents the middle part of the sliding door 2 from deforming and arching during the sliding process, and on the other hand, it also achieves the effect of sliding the sliding door 2 and improves the sliding smoothness. The present application can also not set the above-mentioned distance-limiting buckle 21, and the sliding door 2 can achieve the purpose of not deforming the middle part by reducing the size of the sliding door 2 or through a certain processing technology.

[0053] In a specific implementation, the base 1 is the front panel of the chassis. The present application installs the sliding door 2 on the front panel of the chassis, so that the sliding door 2 slides relative to the front panel, thereby realizing the shielding and exposure of some structures on the front panel, such as interfaces. Of course, the above-mentioned base 1 can also be a cabinet frame, and the cabinet door can be opened and closed by sliding the sliding door 2; it can also be a charging stand, and the charging port can be exposed and shielded by sliding the sliding door 2, so as to be dustproof and waterproof when not in use; the above-mentioned base 1 can also be other structures that can be equipped with the sliding door 2, and the present application will not repeat them one by one here.

[0054] An embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, including a sliding door device, which is the sliding door device provided by any of the above embodiments. When the sliding door 2 slides, the electronic device exposes different interfaces, thereby achieving synchronous sliding of the entire sliding door 2. The advantages are brought by the sliding door device. For details, please refer to the relevant parts of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0055] In this embodiment, the electronic device is specifically a desktop computer, and the sliding door device is arranged on the front panel of the chassis to realize the shielding and switching of the two interfaces of the front I / O port and the optical drive port on the chassis. Of course, the above electronic device can also be an all-in-one computer or a printer, an air conditioner, etc., and the sliding door device is installed at the structure that needs to be switched between shielding and exposure.

[0056] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0057] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
