Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a hinge, in particular to a rotating shaft structure of a foldable electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In existing "folding devices", different hinge structure designs are required depending on whether the device is folded inward or outward and the curvature of the curved portion, in order to avoid hindering the folding action of the screen and causing pulling. The opening and closing actions of the folding device with an inward-folding screen mainly follow the traditional folding device. After folding, the screen can be protected inside, and it is closer to user habits and easier to accept. However, in such products, the structural design of the hinge structure will be limited by the type of screen used, and it is also necessary to consider that the curved portion of the screen after folding inward will present a teardrop shape, a horseshoe shape, or a dual hard screen folding structure, which will form a difference. Among them, the components that need to be considered and the connection relationship and action between them are all key factors affecting whether the screen is easy to be damaged and its service life.

[0003] Regarding the above-mentioned rotating shaft structure, as shown in the patent publication numbers CN110630625B, CN109469680B, CN109654113B and CN209959699U, various structural designs are mainly tried to achieve both thinness and overall aesthetics. However, considering the existing manufacturing process and cost, in order to achieve the effect of thinness, the effect of providing displacement compensation through a virtual rotation center when the hinge structure is folded is better, such as the "flexible screen hinge structure" with patent publication number CN219345251U, which mainly pivots two hinge modules at two arc-shaped parts of the base, and the two ends of a shell connecting rod of any hinge module respectively have a protrusion and a limit part; a connecting plate is located at the top of the protrusion and pivoted to the shell connecting rod, and the connecting plate is connected to the shell connecting rod through a tension spring, or through at least one bending sheet to correspond to at least one limit plate of an arc-shaped swing arm; the arc-shaped swing arm has a guide part connected to the arc-shaped part, and the arc-shaped swing arm is pivoted to the protrusion of the shell connecting rod; one end of a gear connecting rod is connected to at least one shaft rod, and the sliding part at the other end of the gear connecting rod is coaxially sleeved with a guide column with the limit part.

[0125] The second linkage mechanism 4 has a corresponding structure to the first linkage mechanism 3, and the second linkage mechanism 4 includes a first rotating rod 41, a second rotating rod 42 and a third rotating rod 43, wherein one end of the first rotating rod 41 has a second tooth row 411, and the second tooth row 411 is toothed with the second arc-shaped tooth portion 25, so that the first rotating rod 41 rotates relative to the other side of the seat body 2; the second rotating rod 42 is connected to the second shell 92, one end of the second rotating rod 42 is connected to the other end of the first rotating rod 41 in a relatively movable manner, and one side of the second rotating rod 42 has a second supporting portion 421; and one end of the third rotating rod 43 is connected to the second rotating rod 42 in a relatively sliding manner, and the other end of the third rotating rod 43 has a second positioning hole 431, and the second positioning hole 431 is sleeved with a second rotating shaft 432, so that the third rotating rod 43 and the second rotating shaft 432 rotate synchronously. Thus, when the third rotating rod 43 and the first rotating rod 41 rotate simultaneously and the second rotating rod 42 and the third rotating rod 43 move relatively, an accommodating space 94 can be left at the junction of the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 to accommodate the curved portion in the middle of the screen 93 .

[0126] In this embodiment, the synchronous component 5 includes a first gear 53, an intermediate gear set 54 and a second gear 55 that are meshed in sequence; the support base 51 includes two elongated plates spaced apart and arranged in parallel, and the synchronous component 5 is sandwiched between the two elongated plates, so that the support base 51 can position the synchronous component 5; and the first rotating shaft 343 and the second rotating shaft 432 pass through the two ends of the support base 51, the first gear 53 and the second gear 55 of the synchronous component 5, and the two ends of the first positioning member 52 in sequence, and are locked to the ends of the first rotating shaft 343 and the second rotating shaft 432 with a first end seal 56 and a second end seal 57 respectively, so as to fix and compress the first positioning member 52, and allow the first rotating shaft 343 and the second rotating shaft 432 to rotate in opposite directions, so that the two halves of the relatively bent screen 93 can be stably rotated and positioned at a preset angle during the process of flipping to close or fully unfolding, and can freely stop at a certain angle during rotation.

[0127] Thus, when the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 are in a flattened state, the two elastic members (336, 336') of the first linkage mechanism 3 and the second linkage mechanism 4 respectively pull the two swing members (33, 33'), and one end of the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22 respectively abut the middle plate surfaces of the two support plates (95, 95'), so that the middle plate 26, the two plane portions (345, 433) and the two support plates (95, 95') can jointly support the screen 93 to generate a comprehensive and stable supporting force; at this time, the two elastic members (336, 336') are respectively stretched to accumulate elastic force and reduce the influence of the gap due to manufacturing tolerance.

[0128] And as Figure 3 and Figures 10 to 13 As shown, when the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 are flipped relative to each other, a group of similar four-bar structures composed of the base body 2, the first rotating shaft 343, the first rotating member 31, the second rotating member 32, and the third rotating member 34, and another group of similar four-bar structures composed of the base body 2, the second rotating shaft 432, the first rotating rod 41, the second rotating rod 42, and the third rotating rod 43, and then through the elastic restoring action of the two elastic members (336, 336'), the two swinging members (33, 33') produce a seesaw-like effect, and at the same time, the two positioning parts (334, 334') of the two swinging members (33, 33') are respectively stopped by the two limiting parts (314, 314'). One side edge of the screen 93 is pushed against the bottom ends of the two limiting portions (314, 314'), so that the two adapter plates (331, 331') and the two support plates (95, 95') are relatively offset by an angle, and then an accommodating space 94 is formed to accommodate the curved middle part of the screen 93.

[0129] In addition, you can choose Figure 2 and Figures 14 to 17 As shown, when the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 are flattened from a closed state, one end of the middle portion of the two support plates (95, 95') is slidably connected to the first elongated guide groove 291 and the second elongated guide groove 292 respectively, wherein an arc surface (or a variable curvature arc surface) can be further formed in the two elongated guide grooves according to the situation, so that one end of the middle portion of the two support plates (95, 95') can slide along. During the flattening process, the plate surfaces of the two support plates (95, 95') always slide against one end of the first side plate 21 and the second side plate 22, thereby causing the two swinging members (33, 33') to rotate relative to the second rotating member 32 and the second rotating rod 42 respectively. When the inner ends of the two arc-shaped guide portions 333 contact the two arc-shaped portions 321 respectively, the second rotating member 32 and the second rotating rod 42 will be pulled to move toward the seat body 2 respectively to compensate for the displacement difference of the rotating shaft structure 1 when it is unfolded. The other side edges of the two limit portions (314, 314') respectively slide against the two positioning portions (334, 334') during the flattening process, and push the two swinging members (33, 33') in the opposite direction to respectively pull the second rotating member 32 and the second rotating rod 42 to move toward the seat body 2, thereby synchronously compensating for the displacement difference.

[0130] Another example Fig.18 , Fig.19As shown, the combination of the above-mentioned synchronous assembly 5, the support seat 51 and the first positioning member 52 can also be replaced by another set of structures, and the replaced structure mainly includes an elongated linkage plate 6, an elongated limiting plate 61, a third toothed member 62 and a fourth toothed member 63, wherein one side surface of the elongated linkage plate 6 presses against four parallel second positioning members 64; the elongated limiting plate 61 is arranged in parallel on the other side of the elongated linkage plate 6; a first toothed member 65 is coaxially arranged on the first rotating shaft 343, and the two ends of the first rotating shaft 343 are respectively positioned on the elongated linkage plate 6 and the elongated limiting plate 61 in a rotational manner; a second toothed member 66 is coaxially arranged on the second rotating shaft 432, and the two ends of the second rotating shaft 432 are respectively positioned on the elongated linkage plate 6 and the elongated limiting plate 61 in a rotational manner; the third toothed member 63 is coaxially arranged on the second rotating shaft 432, and the two ends of the second rotating shaft 432 are respectively positioned on the elongated linkage plate 6 and the elongated limiting plate 61 in a rotational manner; One end of 62 is positioned on the other side of the elongated linkage plate 6, and the third toothed member 62 is gearedly connected to the first toothed member 65 in a relatively movable manner; the fourth toothed member 63 is parallel to the third toothed member 62, and one end of the fourth toothed member 63 is positioned on the other side of the elongated linkage plate 6, and the fourth toothed member 63 is gearedly connected to the second toothed member 66 in a relatively movable manner, so that when the first rotating shaft 343 and the second rotating shaft 432 rotate in opposite directions relative to each other, the third toothed member 62, the fourth toothed member 63 and the elongated linkage plate 6 can move synchronously, and the elongated linkage plate 6 can push the four second positioning members 64, so that the two halves of the relatively bent screen 93 can be stably rotated and positioned at a preset angle during the process of flipping to close or fully unfolding, and can freely stop at a certain angle during rotation.

[0131] In summary, according to the contents disclosed above, the present invention sets a first arc-shaped tooth portion 24 and a second arc-shaped tooth portion 24 in opposite directions on both sides of the seat body 2, the first tooth row 313 of the first rotating member 31 is toothed in the first arc-shaped tooth portion 24, and the second tooth row 411 of the first rotating rod 41 is toothed in the second arc-shaped tooth portion 25, so that the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 can stably rotate in opposite directions, replacing the arc-shaped swing arm that provides displacement compensation in the traditional shaft structure, which helps to reduce the overall thickness and make the overall thinner. The first rotating shaft 343, the first rotating member 31, the second rotating member 32, and the third rotating member 34 form a group of similar four-bar structures, and the seat body 2, the second rotating shaft 432, the first rotating rod 41, the second rotating rod 42, and the third rotating rod 43 together form another group of similar four-bar structures. When the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 are matched, the third rotating member 34 / the third rotating rod 43 and the first rotating member 31 / the first rotating rod 41 are respectively slidably connected to the two positioning plates 36, so that when the first shell 91 and the second shell 92 are displaced and rotated, a The travel path and length are converted for compensation to compensate for the size difference between the radius of curvature formed by the bending part of the flexible screen or the double hard screen folding structure and the radius of curvature between the two shells, and at the same time, the two adapter plates (331, 331') are pulled to provide clearance space so that the flexible screen can be folded and folded; when the screen is flattened, the two adapter plates (331, 331') can be pulled respectively by the two elastic members (336, 336') to reset the two adapter plates (331, 331'), thereby forming a stable support for the screen and reducing the influence of the idling travel during the folding process.
