[0022] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 6 As shown: The present invention provides a three-axis hinge folder, comprising a front joint 1 and a rear joint 2, wherein a connection groove 102 is arranged on the back side of the right end of the front joint 1, and a pair of limiting protrusions 103 are arranged at one end of the connection groove 102; a connection groove 202 in communication with the connection groove 102 is arranged on the back side of the left end of the rear joint 2, and a connection shaft 15 and a connection shaft 26 are fixedly inserted in the interiors of the connection groove 102 and the connection groove 202 respectively, the connection shaft 15 is rotatably connected to a hinge part 13, the connection shaft 26 is fixedly connected to a hinge part 24, and the hinge part 24 is rotatably connected to the hinge part 13 through a connection shaft 37; the hinge part One end of the second 4 is provided with a pair of limiting grooves 401 connected with the limiting protrusion 103, which can ensure that when the front joint 1 is opened, it can be opened around the connecting axis 5 first, and then the front joint 1 and the hinge part 3 are opened around the connecting axis 7 to prevent the front joint 1 from being rotated and stuck; the left end front side of the rear joint 2 is provided with an installation groove 201, and the inner side of the installation groove 201 is rotatably installed with a handle 8, and the right end front side of the front joint 1 is provided with an installation groove 101 for accommodating the handle 8, and the interior of the installation groove 101 is fixedly installed with a fixing bolt 13, and one end of the handle 8 is installed with a self-locking mechanism connected with the fixing bolt 13.

[0023] Among them, the hinge part 1 3 is in a "convex" shape, and the hinge part 2 4 is in a "concave" shape matching it, so that the two can be stably connected with the cooperation of the connecting shaft 3 7.

[0024] Among them, a slide groove is arranged on the front side of one end of the handle 8, and a through groove connected to the back side of the handle 8 is arranged at the bottom of the slide groove; the self-locking mechanism includes a slide key 10 slidably installed inside the slide groove, and a connecting block slidably connected to the through groove is arranged on one side of the slide key 10, and a self-locking part 11 is fixedly installed on the back side of the handle 8.

[0025] Among them, a snap-on socket for clamping with the port of the fixing bolt 13 is provided on one side of the self-locking member 11, so as to ensure that the handle 8 has high stability when locked by clamping the fixing bolt 13; a spring 12 is installed inside the through groove, and the other end of the spring 12 is connected to the side of the connecting block to press the connecting block so that the self-locking member 11 on one side is stably clamped with the fixing bolt 13 to ensure stability during use.

After folding and storing, the entire folder can have a smooth appearance with a good appearance effect. When the folder is opened, the connecting shaft 3 7 is the secondary rotating shaft and the connecting shaft 1 5 is the main rotating shaft, which can prevent the front joint 1 from being stuck in rotation; the hinge part 1 3 ensures the folding effect through the connecting shaft 3 7 and the connecting shaft 1 5 when the folder is opened, and ensures the stability effect when the folder is closed; the hinge part 2 4 is fixed to the rear joint 2 through the connecting shaft 2 6, which can ensure the stability and strength of the hinge assembly. The present invention uses two hinge main and secondary rotating shafts and a fixed anti-rotation shaft to ensure the folding effect and avoid the disadvantage that the center of the folding rotating shaft must be outside the joint, thereby achieving the goal of hiding the folding rotating shaft and optimizing the appearance.
