[0026] The base 1 includes a first substrate 3 and a second substrate 4 that are parallel and spaced apart from each other. The outer side of the slider 2, which is disposed between the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4, is slidably engaged with the inner side surfaces of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4 through a set of arc-shaped grooves 51 and arc-shaped protrusions 52. A strip-shaped guide groove 81 extending along its length direction is formed on the inner side surface of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4 on the side of the slider 2 opposite to the second component. The two ends of a sliding pin 82 are slidably embedded in the strip-shaped guide groove 81. A torque pin 9 is installed at the other end of the slider 2 away from the second component. A plurality of torque plates 10 are connected between the torque pin 9, which is tightly connected to the slider 2 at both ends, and the sliding pin 82. The torque pin 9 and the sliding pin 82 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the torque pin 9 and the sliding pin 82.

The first arc-shaped portion 131, the strip-shaped connecting portion 12 and the second arc-shaped portion 132 form a holding area 14 that cooperates with the torque pin 9. There is a gap 15 between the ends of the first arc-shaped portion 131 and the second arc-shaped portion 132 that are away from the strip-shaped connecting portion 12. The sidewall of the area corresponding to the area of ​​the holding area 14 and the strip-shaped connecting portion 12 is a plane and the distance between the plane and the axis of the torque pin 9 installed in the holding area 14 is less than the radius of the torque pin 9.

The base 1 includes a first substrate 3 and a second substrate 4 that are parallel and spaced apart from each other.

The two ends of a sliding pin 82 are slidably embedded in the strip-shaped guide groove 81. A torque pin 9 is installed at the other end of the slider 2 away from the second component. A plurality of torque plates 10 are connected between the torque pin 9, which is tightly connected to the slider 2 at both ends, and the sliding pin 82. The torque pin 9 and the sliding pin 82 are arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the torque pin 9 and the sliding pin 82.

[0033] The torque plate 10 further includes: an annular end 11 fitted on the outside of the sliding pin 82, a strip-shaped connecting portion 12 connected to the annular end 11 at one end, and a first arc-shaped portion 131 and a second arc-shaped portion 132 disposed opposite to each other at the other end of the strip-shaped connecting portion 12. The first arc-shaped portion 131, the strip-shaped connecting portion 12 and the second arc-shaped portion 132 form a holding area 14 that cooperates with the torque pin 9. There is a gap 15 between the ends of the first arc-shaped portion 131 and the second arc-shaped portion 132 that are away from the strip-shaped connecting portion 12. The sidewall of the area corresponding to the area of ​​the holding area 14 and the strip-shaped connecting portion 12 is a plane and the distance between the plane and the axis of the torque pin 9 installed in the holding area 14 is less than the radius of the torque pin 9. A tangent plane 6 corresponding to the planar sidewall of the holding area 14 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the torque pin 9.

[0034] The aforementioned cutting planes 6 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the torque pin 9; the aforementioned cutting planes 6 are located at both ends of the torque pin 9 near the slider 2.

[0035] Each of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4 has an outwardly extending connecting ear 71 on its outer surface, and each connecting ear 71 is connected to the first component by at least one screw.

[0036] At least one inwardly extending rib 72 is provided on the inner surface of each of the first substrate 3 and the second substrate 4, and the two ribs 72 facing each other are welded together.

[0037] During assembly:

[0038] First, position and assemble the torque pin and the slider through the flat fit. Then, press one end of the torque plate with the torque pin installed on the slider, and at the same time assemble the other end of the torque plate with the sliding pin.

[0039] Next, the slider is screwed in and the sliding pin is installed into the base. At this time, the first substrate and the second substrate of the base are in an independent state.

[0040] Finally, the base is connected as a whole by screwing and welding the ribs on the first and second substrates together.

[0041] In practical use:

[0042] The base of the assembled pivot assembly is installed on the first component, and then the slider is connected to the second component. The second component drives the slider to rotate so that the second component can open to support the first component or close to fit the first component.

[0043] When the second component and the slider that rotates with the second component are at the 0° position, the tangential plane on the torsion pin shaft is completely opposite to the planar sidewall of the holding area on the torsion plate and there is no mutual interference between them.

[0044] As the second component and the slider that rotates with the second component rotate from the 0° position to a certain angle (such as 15°), the circumferential surface of the torque pin itself gradually rotates towards the planar sidewall of the holding area, causing the mutual interference area between the torque pin and the planar sidewall of the holding area to gradually increase until the tangential plane on the torque pin completely rotates out of the planar sidewall of the holding area, and the torque generated by the torque plate gradually increases, forming the torque climbing stage.

[0045] As the second component and the slider that rotates with the second component continue to rotate from one angle (e.g., 15°) to another angle (e.g., 57°), the interference area between the circumferential surface of the torque pin itself and the planar sidewall of the holding area remains stable, and the torque generated by the torque plate is constant.

[0046] Correspondingly, during the rotation and closing process of the second component and the slider that rotates with the second component, the torque will first be constant, and then the torque will gradually decrease until the tangential plane on the torque pin is completely opposite to the planar sidewall of the holding area on the torque plate and there is no mutual interference between the two.

[0047] When the above-mentioned rotating shaft assembly is used, the cooperation between the torque plate and the torque pin can achieve self-locking when the second part rotates and fits with the first part to avoid unnecessary opening of the second part, and can also provide stable torque when the second part rotates away from the first part to ensure stability during repeated rotation. At the same time, it can ensure the consistency of wear during forward and reverse rotation, and further optimize the stability and smoothness of use.

[0048] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
