[0028] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.
[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.
[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0031] See also Figures 1 to 8 , which is a rotating shaft structure that can be automatically opened at a uniform speed according to an embodiment of the utility model, includes a self-driving component 10, a first damping component 20 installed at one end of the self-driving component 10, and a second damping component 30 installed at the other end of the self-driving component 10.
[0032] The self-driving assembly 10 includes a support seat 11, a rotating main shaft 12 rotatably passing through opposite sides of the support seat 11, a swing arm cam 13 coaxially connected to each rotating main shaft 12, a swing arm 14 connected to the outside of each swing arm cam 13, an intermediate gear 15 connected between the two swing arm cams 13, and a double torsion spring 16 installed inside the support seat 11. The double torsion spring 16 includes two spring bodies 161 arranged side by side, a limiting portion 162 extending outward from each spring body 161, and an arched connecting rod 163 connected between the two spring bodies 161; the arched connecting rod 163 is fixed on the support seat 11, the two spring bodies 161 are respectively passed through by the rotating main shaft 12, and the limiting portion 162 is fixedly connected to the swing arm cam 13 one by one, so that the spring body 161 can drive the swing arm cam 13.
[0033] In actual use, one swing arm 14 is used to connect one body of the digital product, and the other swing arm 14 is used to connect the other body of the digital product, so that the two bodies of the digital product can be opened or folded, realizing the opening and closing function of the digital product.
[0034] In this embodiment, there are two intermediate gears 15 , which are meshed with each other, and the intermediate gears 15 are meshed with the swing arm cams 13 one by one, so that the two swing arm cams 13 rotate in opposite directions.
[0035] In this embodiment, if Figures 5 to 8 As shown, through holes 111 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the support base 11, and the through holes 111 are used for the rotation main shaft 12 to pass through. A fan-shaped limiting recess 112 is provided on one side of the support base 11 away from the swing arm cam 13 and corresponding to each through hole 111; a fan-shaped limiting block 121 is protruded outwardly on one side of the rotation main shaft 12, and the limiting block 121 is matched and accommodated in the inside of the limiting recess 112 to limit the rotation range of the rotation main shaft 12 and realize a specific opening and closing angle of the digital product.
[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of grooves 122 are provided at intervals on the outer surface of one end of the rotating main shaft 12 for connecting to the second damping assembly 30 .
[0037] The first damping assembly 20 includes a bearing plate 21, a damping cam 22 connected to opposite ends of the bearing plate 21, a bracket 23 arranged at intervals on one side of the bearing plate 21, and two damping springs 24 sandwiched between the bearing plate 21 and the bracket 23; the damping springs 24 correspond to the damping cams 22 one by one. The rotating main shaft 12 is respectively penetrated by the damping cam 22, the damping spring 24 and the bracket 23, and then connected with the retaining spring 25 to achieve the matching connection between the first damping assembly 20 and the self-driving assembly 10. Among them, the damping spring 24 provides a damping force for the damping cam 22 to elastically adjust the meshing between the damping cam 22 and the swing arm cam 13; the intermediate gear 15 is rotatably connected between the support seat 11 and the bearing plate 21.
[0038] In actual use, when the digital product is in a completely closed state, the two bodies of the digital product are buckled together through structures such as buckles. At this time, the two swing arms 14 are close to each other, the double torsion spring 16 is in a stressed state, and the double torsion spring 16 has accumulated torque. When the user presses the power button of the digital product, the buckle will be released, allowing the bodies to separate. As the buckle is released, the double torsion spring 16 begins to release the previously accumulated torque. The torque of the double torsion spring 16 drives the swing arm cam 13 to rotate and overcome the limit of the damping cam 22, thereby driving the swing arm 14 to unfold, realizing the automatic opening of the digital product. When the two swing arms 14 are completely flattened, the rotating shaft is in a fully open state. At this time, the double torsion spring 16 has completely released the torque and is in a free state, and no longer applies force to the swing arm cam 13.
[0039] The second damping assembly 30 includes a damping base 31 installed on one end of the support base 11 facing away from the double torsion spring 16, and damping grease (not shown) filled in the interior of the damping base 31 on opposite sides; the damping base 31 is provided with a receiving cavity 32 on opposite sides, and the receiving cavity 32 is used to receive the rotating spindle 12, and the damping grease is filled in the interior of the receiving cavity 32 and wraps the rotating spindle 12. Specifically, the damping grease is not only filled around the rotating spindle 12, but also specifically filled in the groove 122 on the outer surface of the rotating spindle 12, thereby increasing the contact area between the damping grease and the rotating spindle 12 and improving the damping effect. The viscosity and friction of the damping grease act on the surface of the rotating spindle 12, especially the area of the groove 122, effectively slowing down the rotation speed of the rotating spindle 12, making it rotate more uniformly and stably, thereby allowing the body to maintain a uniform and stable motion state when opened.
[0040] The above-mentioned rotating shaft structure that can be automatically opened at a uniform speed has a simple structure and is easy to use. It introduces a self-driving component 10 and is fixedly connected to the swing arm cam 13 through a double torsion spring 16, so that the rotating shaft can automatically provide appropriate driving force when unfolding, reducing the force required by the user during operation and improving the convenience and comfort of operation.
[0041] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0042] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
