[0049] To fully understand the present application, the following specific examples are described in detail, and the accompanying drawings, the purpose, features and effects of the present application can be understood by the disclosure of the present application. It should be noted that the present application can be implemented or applied by other different specific embodiments, and the details in the specification can be modified and changed based on different views and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. The following embodiments will further illustrate the related technical content of the present application, but the disclosed content is not used to limit the patent application range of the present application. The following is described:

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dual-axle hinge 100 of the present application comprises a first rotating member 1, a second rotating member 2, a driving member 3 and a sliding member 4.

[0051] The first rotating member 1 comprises a first rotating shaft 11 and a first rotating arm 12, and the second rotating member 2 is arranged in parallel with the first rotating member 1. The second rotating member 2 comprises a second rotating shaft 21 and a second rotating arm 22. The first rotating member 1 and the second rotating member 2 are substantially symmetrical structures. The first rotating arm 12 and the second rotating arm 22 are arranged on the base and the upper cover of a device (such as a notebook computer or a folding mobile phone) respectively. When the user opens or closes the base and the upper cover, the first rotating arm 12 and the second rotating arm 22 arranged on the base and the upper cover are also relatively rotated.

[0052] Next, how to make one of the first rotating arm 12 and the second rotating arm 22 rotate synchronously when only one of them is rotated is described.

[0053] As shown in Figure 3B , Figure 4B , Figure 5B The surface of the first rotating shaft 11 is provided with a first thread 111, and one end of the first rotating arm 12 is connected to the first rotating shaft 11. The surface of the second rotating shaft 21 is provided with a second thread 211, and one end of the second rotating arm 22 is connected to the second rotating shaft 21.

[0054] The driving member 3 is in the form of a disc, and is disposed between the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 21 and engaged with the first screw thread 111 and the second screw thread 211. In this embodiment, the driving member 3 is in the form of a freewheel 31, and the two sides of the freewheel 31 are engaged with the first screw thread 111 and the second screw thread 211 respectively. When either the first rotating arm 12 or the second rotating arm 22 rotates, the first shaft 11 / second shaft 21 rotates directly; when either the first shaft 11 or the second shaft 21 rotates, the driving member 3 (freewheel 31) rotates through the first screw thread 111 or the second screw thread 211, and the driving member 3 (freewheel 31) drives the other of the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 21 to rotate. Therefore, as long as either the first rotating arm 12 or the second rotating arm 22 is pulled, the other will rotate accordingly.

[0055] Referring to Figure 6 In order to increase the rotation feeling at a specific angle, that is, to increase the required torque for rotating either the first shaft 11 or the second shaft 21, the driving member 3 (freewheel 31) has a slide rail 314 that penetrates the disc surface of the freewheel 31 and is not connected to the periphery of the freewheel 31. The wall surface 314a adjacent to the center of the slide rail 314 is not equidistant from the center. The slide rail 314 can have a straight line, a spiral, or an arc shape, and in this embodiment, has a spiral shape. In addition, the sliding block member 4 includes a resilient element 42, a slide column 44, and a connecting rod sliding block 41. The resilient element 42 is an element that can store elastic potential energy, such as a spring, and in this embodiment, is a compression spring. The slide column 44 penetrates the slide rail 314 and can move relatively in the slide rail 314, and the connecting rod sliding block 41 connects the two ends of the slide column 44. In detail, one end of the connecting rod sliding block 41 is forked to connect the two ends of the slide column 44, and the other end of the connecting rod sliding block 41 is abutted by the resilient element 42, which continuously pushes the connecting rod sliding block 41 towards the driving member 3 through a pre-pressing force.

[0056] As Figure 3A and Figure 3B shown, in this embodiment, when the included angle between the first rotating arm 12 and the second rotating arm 22 is 0 degrees (the base and the upper cover are closed), the slide column 44 is located at one end of the slide rail 314. When the first rotating arm 12 and the second rotating arm 22 want to increase the angle, the first rotating arm 12 and the second rotating arm 22 are rotated from Figure 3A and Figure 3B to the state shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B (90 degrees), as shown in Figure 6As shown, the pushing force (upward arrow) of the elastic element 42 to the slide post 44 through the connecting link slider 41 will interfere with the clockwise rotation of the driving member 3 (idler 31), preventing the driving member 3 (idler 31) from rotating. Therefore, a greater torque must be applied to generate a downward component (downward arrow) to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 42, allowing the slide post 44 to retreat to allow the driving member 3 (idler 31) to rotate. Thus, a special rotation feel can be provided at a specific angle.
