Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hinge modules, and in particular to a hinge module and functional equipment. Background Art

[0002] The hinge modules of the multi-functional peripherals (MFP) and copy machines currently on the market usually have multi-angle support functions in consideration of the convenience of users. The design principle is to utilize a cam shaft to contact a slider, which is installed in a frame. There is at least one compression spring at the bottom of the slider. The relative height of the slider is changed by rotating the cam, thereby compressing the spring and generating a supporting force. Since the slider usually maintains contact and friction with the cam for a long time in a relatively small area, the slider causes wear in this relatively small area, thereby affecting the angle of the shaft module when it opens and stops.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] 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.

In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the shaft module according to the embodiment of the present application includes a first support member 10 , a rotating member 20 , a sliding block 30 and an elastic member 40 .

[0035] Specifically, the first support member 10 defines a first installation cavity; the rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the first support member 10; the slider 30 is movably arranged in the first installation cavity, and a first rotating shaft 31 is installed at one end of the slider 30 close to the rotating member 20, and the rotating member 20 can abut against the first rotating shaft 31; the elastic member 40 is arranged in the first installation cavity, and the elastic member 40 is located on the side of the slider 30 away from the rotating member 20 and abuts against the slider 30.

[0036] In detail, the first support member 10 defines a first installation cavity, and the rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the first support member 10, so that the rotating member 20 can be supported by the first support member 10, and the elastic member 40 is arranged in the first installation cavity. The elastic member 40 is located on the side of the slider 30 away from the rotating member 20 and abuts against the slider 30. That is to say, the slider 30 is arranged between the rotating member 20 and the elastic member 40, and the slider 30 abuts against the rotating member 20 and the elastic member 40 at the same time. During the rotation of the rotating member 20, the rotating member 20 will press the slider 30 and then press the elastic member 40. Under the action of the elastic member 40, the rotating member 20 will generate a part of the horizontal lateral component force on the slider 30. The horizontal lateral component force acts on the first rotating shaft 31, which will cause the rotating member 20 to rotate and contact with the first rotating shaft 31, thereby avoiding the rotating member 20 from wearing the slider 30, thereby extending the service life of the shaft module.

[0037] In addition, the first rotating shaft 31 can also play a certain supporting role for the rotating member 20, so as to ensure that the rotating member 20 can stay at any position when it rotates to that position and maintain balance and stability.

[0038] The first support member 1010 defines a first mounting cavity, and the first mounting cavity can be configured into any desired shape, such as a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, a cylinder, an elliptical cylinder, etc. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first mounting cavity is configured in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0039] According to the rotating shaft module of the embodiment of the present application, the first rotating shaft 31 is in contact with the rotating member 20. The first rotating shaft 31 can rotate during the contact with the rotating member 20, thereby reducing the friction force of the rotating member 20 on the slider 30 and improving the service life of the slider 30.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, according to the rotating shaft module of the embodiment of the present application, the rotating member 20 includes a cam portion 21 , the slider 30 includes a protruding portion 22 , a first rotating shaft 31 is provided on the protruding portion 22 , and the cam portion 21 abuts against the first rotating shaft 31 .

[0041] In detail, the rotating member 20 includes a cam portion 21, and the slider 30 includes a protrusion 22. The protrusion 22 is provided with a first rotating shaft 31. The cam portion 21 abuts against the first rotating shaft 31. The cooperation between the cam portion 21 and the first rotating shaft 31 can make it easier for the rotating member 20 to hover at multiple angles when rotating, achieve balance, and greatly improve the convenience of the user. The protrusion 22 is provided on the slider 30, and the first rotating shaft 31 is provided on the protrusion 22. The protrusion 22 can be used to shorten the position of the first rotating shaft 31 and the rotating member 20. At the same time, the gap between the protrusion 22 and the edge of the slider 30 is used to avoid the cam portion 21.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the protruding portion 22 is provided with two assembly holes 221 which are arranged opposite to each other, and the first rotating shaft 31 passes through the assembly holes 221 .

[0043] In detail, the first rotating shaft 31 is inserted into the assembly hole 221. In this way, the first rotating shaft 31 is supported and limited by the assembly hole 221, so that the first rotating shaft 31 can be rotatably arranged on the protruding portion 22. In the specific assembly process, the first rotating shaft 31 is first inserted into the assembly hole 221 from one end, and then the limiting member is matched with the assembly hole 221 to prevent the first rotating shaft 31 from coming out of any assembly hole 221.

[0044] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is provided on the protrusion 22, and a portion of the first rotating shaft 31 is embedded in the limiting groove. In this way, the first rotating shaft 31 can be limited while allowing the first rotating shaft 31 to contact the rotating member 20. The limiting groove can support the first rotating shaft 31, so that the first rotating shaft 31 can support the rotating member 20 while sliding in contact with the rotating member 20.

[0045] In some embodiments, a bearing is further inserted into the assembly hole 221 , and the bearing is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 31 , thereby supporting the rotation of the first rotating shaft 31 , making the rotation of the first rotating shaft 31 more stable.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first rotating shaft 31 is a metal part or a plastic part.

[0047] During use, the first rotating shaft 31 needs to be in rotational contact with the rotating member 20 for a long time and needs to provide certain support for the rotating member 20 when it is suspended. Therefore, configuring the first rotating shaft 31 as a metal part or a plastic part with higher hardness can improve the structural strength of the first rotating shaft 31, thereby extending the service life of the first rotating shaft 31.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a stopper 32 is provided on the protruding portion 22, and the stopper 32 is provided on the outer side of the first rotating shaft 31, and the stopper 32 is spaced apart from the cam portion 21. It is understandable that, during use, the first rotating shaft 31 needs to be in rotational contact with the rotating member 20 for a long time and needs to provide certain support for the rotating member 20 when it is suspended. Therefore, the stopper 32 can support the first rotating shaft 31, and can further improve the stability of the rotating member 20 staying in this position and maintain balance and stability.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, the hinge module according to the embodiment of the present application also includes a second support member 50, which is disposed in the first installation cavity. The second support member 50 is detachably connected to the first support member 10, and the second support member 50 also defines a second installation cavity. The rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the first support member 10 and the second support member 50 at the same time, and the slider 30 and the elastic member 40 are both disposed in the second installation cavity.

[0050] In detail, the second support member 50 and the first support member 10 jointly support the rotating member 20, which can better disperse the force of the single support member (the first support member 10 and the second support member 50), avoid brittle cracking of the first support member 10 during long-term use, and thus extend the service life of the shaft module.

[0051] The second support member 50 defines a second mounting cavity, which can be configured into any desired shape, such as a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, a cylinder, an elliptical cylinder, etc. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the second mounting cavity is configured in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide portion is provided on the first support member 10 , and a guide groove 51 is provided on the second support member 50 , and the guide portion is clamped in the guide groove 51 .

[0053] In this way, the positioning and cooperation between the first support member 10 and the second support member 50 can be achieved, preventing the first support member 10 and the second support member 50 from being misplaced and shaking during use. At the same time, the setting of the guide portion and the guide groove 51 can also play a guiding role in the assembly and disassembly process of the first support member 10 and the second support member 50, simplifying the assembly and disassembly process of the first support member 10 and the second support member 50 and achieving an anti-misalignment effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is defined on the slider 30, and the elastic member 40 is clamped in the limiting groove, thereby preventing the elastic member 40 from getting stuck during compression and expansion and contraction, and always maintaining effective contact between the slider 30 and the elastic member 40.

[0055] According to the rotating shaft module of the embodiment of the utility model, the strength of the first support member 10 is less than the strength of the second support member 50. Since the second support member 50 is arranged inside the first support member 10, the second support member 50 is closer to the rotating member 20, especially when the second support member 50 is subjected to a greater force when the horizontal lateral force applied by the rotating member 20 is applied, the strength of the first support member 10 is set to be less than the strength of the second support member 50, that is, the strength of the second support member 50 is set to be greater than the strength of the first support member 10, which can reduce the structural strength standard of the first support member 10 while meeting the structural strength, thereby achieving the effect of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0056] According to the rotating shaft module of the embodiment of the utility model, the first support member 10 defines a first axial hole arranged opposite to each other, and the second support member 50 defines a second axial hole arranged opposite to each other, the second axial hole is opposite to the first axial hole, and two rotating shaft parts are provided on the rotating member 20, and the rotating shaft parts are successively passed through the second axial hole and the first axial hole along the direction in which the two rotating shaft parts move away from each other.

[0057] Specifically, each rotating shaft portion is simultaneously inserted into the first axial hole and the second axial hole. By providing two symmetrically distributed rotating shafts, the rotating member 20 can rotate more smoothly and the force is more evenly distributed during rotation, thereby preventing the rotating member 20 from tilting and getting stuck due to uneven force during rotation.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating member 20 is provided with an assembly hole 221 and a second rotating shaft 23, and the second rotating shaft 23 includes a connecting portion and a rotating shaft portion located at both ends of the connecting portion, and the connecting portion is inserted into the assembly hole 221. In this way, during assembly, the assembly hole 221 can be first aligned with the first shaft hole and / or the second shaft hole (the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole are aligned after assembly), and then the second rotating shaft 23 is sequentially inserted into the first shaft hole, the second shaft hole, the assembly hole 221, the second shaft hole and the first shaft hole. When disassembly and maintenance are required later, the second rotating shaft 23 is sequentially pulled out from the first shaft hole, the second shaft hole, the assembly hole 221, the second shaft hole and the first shaft hole, so that the assembly of the rotating member 20 and the first support member 10 and the second support member 50 can be simplified.

[0059] In some embodiments, the connecting portion and the two rotating shaft portions are integrally formed.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second support member 50 is made of metal, which can increase the structural strength of the second support member 50 .

[0061] In the first embodiment:

[0062] The second support member 50 is configured as a first metal member, and the second rotation shaft 23 is configured as an integrally formed second metal member.

[0063] Specifically, the second support member 50 is configured as a first metal member, that is, the second support member 50 is made of a metal material, and the second rotating shaft 23 is configured as a second metal member, that is, the second rotating shaft 23 is also made of a metal material. The first metal member and the second metal member mean that the metal materials used to make the second support member 50 and the second rotating shaft 23 can be the same or different, and there is no correlation between the two, and they can be set as needed. In addition, the second rotating shaft 23 is integrally formed to further simplify the preparation process, while enhancing the structural strength of the second rotating shaft 23 and extending the service life of the second rotating shaft 23.

[0064] According to the hinge module of the embodiment of the utility model, the second support member 50 is configured as a first metal member, and the second rotating shaft 23 is configured as an integrally formed second metal member, which can better increase the structural strength of the second support member 50 and the second rotating shaft 23, thereby ensuring that the second support member 50 is not easily deformed during long-term use, thereby ensuring the supporting force.

[0065] In the second embodiment:

[0066] The first support member 10 is configured as a plastic member, so that while ensuring the structural strength, the production cost can be effectively reduced and waste caused by excessive settings can be avoided.

[0067] The functional device according to the embodiment of the present application includes the above-mentioned hinge module.

[0068] According to the functional device of the embodiment of the present application, the first rotating shaft 31 is in contact with the rotating member 20. The first rotating shaft 31 can rotate during the contact with the rotating member 20, thereby reducing the friction force of the rotating member 20 on the slider 30 and improving the service life of the slider 30.

[0069] The functional device may be a multi-function server or a photocopier.
