AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing hinge mechanisms cannot switch between manual and electric modes and lack motor overload protection, resulting in a poor user experience for end devices.

Method used

A hinge mechanism is designed to achieve automatic switching between electric and manual modes by setting a detachable groove and slide structure between the first and second connectors, combined with a limiting member and a friction plate assembly, and to disconnect the connection to protect the motor in case of overload.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables automatic switching between electric and manual modes of the hinge mechanism, protecting the motor from overload damage and improving the user experience of the terminal device.

Abstract

The application provides a hinge mechanism and a terminal device. The hinge mechanism comprises a first fixing member, a second fixing member, a first connecting member, a second connecting member, a first rotating shaft and a limiting member. The first fixing member is fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft, the second fixing member is rotationally connected with the first rotating shaft, and the first connecting member and the second connecting member are located on the same axis of the first rotating shaft. The first connecting member is provided with a first groove, and the second connecting member is provided with a second groove matched with the first groove. In the electric mode, the limiting member is located in a space formed by the matched first groove and the second groove, the second connecting member rotates with the first connecting member, and the second connecting member drives the second fixing member to rotate around the first rotating shaft. When the torque is greater than the connecting force between the second connecting member and the first connecting member, the limiting member is separated from the groove, the first connecting member is disconnected from the second connecting member, the electric mode is converted into the manual mode, and the motor can be protected from being damaged due to excessive external force.
