[0031] See also Figures 1 to 11The figure schematically shows a hinge for an electronic product according to the present disclosure, which is mainly used to achieve the folding and opening of the electronic product. The hinge for an electronic product according to the present disclosure includes a first button 1, a first cam 2, a second cam 3, a third cam 4, a first elastic member 5 and a second elastic member 6. The third cam 4 cooperates with the first cam 2 and the second cam 3 respectively. The first elastic member 5 cooperates with the first cam 2, and the second elastic member 6 cooperates with the third cam 4. That is, under the action of the first elastic member 5 and the second elastic member 6, the first cam 2 and the third cam 4 elastically interact with each other, and the third cam 4 and the second cam 3 also elastically interact with each other. Usually, the second cam 3 is relatively fixed, and the second cam 3 limits the third cam 4. The third cam 4 can rotate relative to the second cam 3. When the product is in the closed state, under the action of the first elastic member 5, the first cam 2 cooperates with the third cam 4, thereby generating a pre-compression torque to keep the product closed, that is, the direction of the pre-compression torque is consistent with the direction of product closing; when the first button 1 is pressed, the first button 1 drives the first cam 2 to move axially, so that the first cam 2 is separated from the third cam 4. Under the action of the second elastic member 6, the separated third cam 4 rotates and moves axially under the limitation of the second cam 3. After releasing the first button 1, the first cam 2 and the rotated third cam 4 are re-matched. At this time, the direction of the torque generated is consistent with the direction of product opening. Under the action of the first elastic member 5 and the limitation of the third cam 4, the first cam 2 rotates relative to the third cam 4, thereby driving the product to open.

[0032] A first pressing portion 13 is provided at one end of the first button 1 . The shape and size of the first pressing portion 13 depend on specific circumstances, such as a circle or other suitable shape.

[0033] When in use, the first cam 2 is arranged on the first housing of the product, and the third cam 4 is arranged on the second housing of the product. The first cam 2 and the first housing rotate relative to the second housing to open and close, so that the product is opened and folded closed. The first pressing portion 13 of the first button 1 can extend outside the first housing and the second housing for easy operation. When the product is in the folded closed state, Figures 5-7 As shown, under the action of the first elastic member 5, the first cam 2 interacts with the third cam 4, thereby generating a pre-compression torque to keep the product closed, that is, the direction of the pre-compression torque is consistent with the direction of product closing, which can prevent the product from being damaged by a slight opening in the closed state, etc., with high safety, stability and reliability, and improved service life. When the product needs to be opened, the first button 1 is pressed, and the first button 1 drives the first cam 2 to move axially, so that the first cam 2 is separated from the third cam 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 8As shown, the pre-compression torque that keeps the product closed is released. Under the action of the second elastic member 6, the second cam 3 limits the third cam 4, so that the separated third cam 4 rotates and moves axially. After releasing the first button 1, the first cam 2 and the rotated third cam 4 are re-matched. At this time, the direction of the torque generated is consistent with the direction of opening the product, thereby realizing the conversion of the torque direction from the direction of keeping the product closed to the direction of opening the product. Under the action of the first elastic member 5 and the limitation of the third cam 4, the first cam 2 rotates relative to the third cam 4, as shown in FIG. Figures 9-11 As shown, the product can be driven to open and refolded and closed manually. The product can be automatically opened with one click by pressing the first button 1. The operation is more convenient and quick, and the operation feel and comfort are better, which can meet the user's increasingly high usage needs.

When the product is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. Figures 5-7 As shown, under the action of the first elastic member 5, the second inner cam surface 43 cooperates with the convex portion on one side of the first outer cam surface 21, thereby generating a pre-compression torque to keep the product closed, that is, the direction of the pre-compression torque is consistent with the direction of product closing; when the product needs to be opened, the first button 1 is pressed first to drive the first cam 2 to move axially, so that the first cam 2 is separated from the third cam 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the second inner cam surface 43 is separated from the convex portion on one side of the first outer cam surface 21. Under the action of the second elastic member 6, the second cam 3 limits the third cam 4, so that the separated third cam 4 rotates and moves axially. The separated third cam 4 rotates and moves axially under the limitation of the second cam 3, and the second inner cam surface 43 rotates synchronously with the third cam 4. The second inner cam surface 43 rotates to a position corresponding to the convex portion on the other side of the first outer cam surface 21. After releasing the first button 1, the rotated second inner cam surface 43 cooperates with the convex portion on the other side of the first outer cam surface 21. The direction of the torque generated at this time is consistent with the direction of opening the product, thereby realizing the conversion of the torque direction from the direction of keeping the product closed to the direction of opening the product. Under the action of the first elastic member 5 and the limitation of the third cam 4, the first cam 2 rotates relative to the third cam 4, thereby driving the product to open. Figures 9-11 shown.

[0035] The first cam 2 is provided with a first inner cam surface 22 located inside the first outer cam surface 21, and the first button 1 is provided with a second cam surface 14 that cooperates with the first inner cam surface 22. When opening the product, after pressing and releasing the first button 1, the direction of the torque is converted from the direction of keeping the product closed to the direction of opening the product. Under the action of the first elastic member 5 and the limitation of the third cam 4, the first cam 2 rotates relative to the third cam 4. At the same time, the first inner cam surface 22 of the first cam 2 cooperates with the second cam surface 14 of the first button 1, thereby driving the product to open more stably and reliably.

[0036] The first cam 2 and the first elastic member 5 are arranged in the first connecting sleeve 7. The first cam 2 is fixed to the first connecting sleeve 7 in the circumferential direction. The first cam 2 can slide axially in the first connecting sleeve 7, and the axial sliding of the first cam 2 can elastically deform the first elastic member 5. The first connecting sleeve 7 is used to be fixedly connected to the first housing of the product, such as by a plug-in connection method, and the first housing and the first connecting sleeve 7 are fixed in the circumferential direction through a flat structure. It can also be fixed or welded by fasteners such as pins and screws.

[0037] The second cam 3, the third cam 4 and the second elastic member 6 are arranged in the second connecting sleeve 8. The second cam 3 is fixedly connected to the second connecting sleeve 8, for example, by using fasteners such as pins and screws for fixed connection or welding connection, the third cam 4 and the second connecting sleeve 8 can rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction, and the third cam 4 can also slide axially along the second connecting sleeve 8, and the axial sliding of the third cam 4 can elastically deform the second elastic member 6. The second cam 3 is located at one end of the second connecting sleeve 8 close to the first connecting sleeve 7, and the first button 1 is located at the other end of the second connecting sleeve 8, which is convenient for operating the first button 1. The second cam 3 is provided with a first avoidance hole 31 for cooperating with the first cam 2, the third cam 4 is provided with a second avoidance hole 41 for cooperating with the first button 1, and the second connecting sleeve 8 is provided with a first through hole 81 for cooperating with the first button 1. The first cam 2 can pass through the first avoidance hole 31 to cooperate with the third cam 4 and the first button 1, and the first button 1 can pass through the first through hole 81 and the second avoidance hole 41 to cooperate with the first cam 2. The first pressing portion 13 of the first button 1 extends outside the corresponding first and second housings, resulting in a more compact, stable, and compact structure. The first pressing portion 13 is located at the end of the first button 1 away from the second connecting sleeve 8. The second connecting sleeve 8 is used to be fixedly connected to the second housing of the product, for example, using a plug-in connection method, and the second housing and the second connecting sleeve 8 are fixed in the circumferential direction by a flat structure. Alternatively, fasteners such as pins and screws can be used for fixed connection or welding. The first cam 2 and the first housing rotate together relative to the second housing to open and close, allowing the product to be opened and folded closed.

[0038] The first connecting sleeve 7 and the second connecting sleeve 8 are connected by a first connecting shaft 9, which is coaxial with the first connecting sleeve 7 and the second connecting sleeve 8. The first cam 2, the second cam 3, the third cam 4 and the first button 1 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the first connecting shaft 9. One end of the first connecting shaft 9 is provided with a first limiter 91 that cooperates with the first connecting sleeve 7, and the other end of the first connecting shaft 9 is provided with a second limiter 92 that cooperates with the second connecting sleeve 8. The first limiter 91 can be a shaft elastic circlip, a lock nut, etc., and the second limiter 92 can be a elastic circlip, a lock nut, a shaft shoulder or a flange, etc., which makes the structure more stable and reliable and more convenient to operate. The first cam 2, the second cam 3 and the third cam 4 are also coaxial with the first connecting shaft 9, and the first cam 2 is provided with a through hole for the first connecting shaft 9 to pass through. The first elastic member 5 and the second elastic member 6 are compression springs. The first elastic member 5, the first cam 2, the second cam 3, the third cam 4, the second elastic member 6 and the first button 1 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the first connecting shaft 9. The first elastic member 5 and the first cam 2 are arranged in the first connecting sleeve 7, and the second cam 3, the third cam 4 and the second elastic member 6 are arranged in the second connecting sleeve 8. One end of the first elastic member 5 presses against the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve 7, the other end of the first elastic member 5 presses against the first cam 2, and one end of the second elastic member 6 presses against the second connecting sleeve 8, a groove body, a positioning column and other positioning structures that cooperate with the spring can also be provided on the inner wall of the first cam 2 and the third cam 4 and in the second connecting sleeve 8.
