[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 16 As shown, the screen lifting and rotating device of this utility model is installed between the base 2 and the screen 6, so that the screen 6 can be lifted relative to the base 2. It mainly includes a fixing plate 1, a displacement block 3, a driven shaft 4, a driving shaft 5 and a torque component 7.
[0037] The fixing piece 1 is installed inside the base 2 and has a longitudinal side piece 10. It is made of iron sheet and is L-shaped. The flat part is fixedly assembled on the base 2, and the vertical part is the longitudinal side piece 10. One side of it is provided with a rack 100 and an adjacent position is provided with a pivot groove 101. The top and bottom of the pivot groove 101 are respectively provided with a first pivot hole 102.
[0038] The displacement block 3 is slidably connected to the longitudinal side plate 10 of the fixing plate 1. Preferably, the displacement block 3 is pivotally assembled to the longitudinal side plate 10 of the fixing plate 1. The displacement block 3 has a coaxial driven through hole 30 and an active through hole 31 inside. The active through hole 31 has a first stop surface 311. The displacement block 3 has an opening 32 and a pivot part 33 on one side corresponding to the rack 100 and pivot groove 101 of the fixing plate 1, respectively. The opening 32 communicates with the driven through hole 30. The pivot part 33 has a second pivot hole 330 corresponding to the first pivot hole 102. When the pivot part 33 is pivotally mounted in the pivot groove 101, the pivot member T is pivotally mounted in the first pivot hole 102 and the second pivot hole 330, so that the displacement block 3 and the fixing plate 1 form a pivotal relationship, and the displacement block 3 can move upward relative to the fixing plate 1.
[0039] Driven shaft 4 passes through displacement block 3. One end of driven shaft 4 has gear 40 and driven rod 41 connected to gear 40. Gear 40 is housed in driven through hole 30 and meshes with rack 100 through opening 32. Driven rod 41 is fitted with driven cam 42, or is integrally formed with driven cam 42. When driven cam 42 is fitted on driven rod 41, a first cut surface 411 is provided on the outer diameter of driven rod 41, and a second cut surface 423 is provided on the inner side of driven cam 42. The first cut surface 411 fits against the second cut surface 423, so that driven cam 42 and driven rod 41 rotate synchronously. The surface of driven cam 42 has driven ratchet 420 and driven stop ring 421. Driven stop ring 421 has driven concave arc portion 422. The driven cam 42 may be provided with a driven stop ring 421 having a driven concave arc portion 422, or may be provided with a driven thorn 420 and a driven stop ring 421 having a driven concave arc portion 422 at the same time.
[0040] The drive shaft 5 passes through the displacement block 3. One end of the drive shaft 5 has a drive part 50 and a drive rod 51 connected to the drive part 50. The drive shaft 5 passes through the drive hole 31 of the displacement block 3 and is coaxially arranged with the driven shaft 4. The drive part 50 of the drive shaft 5 is exposed on one side of the displacement block 3 and is fixedly installed inside the screen 6 and rotates synchronously with the screen 6. The drive rod 51 is exposed on the other side of the displacement block 3. The drive rod 51 is fitted with a drive cam 52 that can move with the driven cam 42, or with the drive cam 5... 2. The active cam 52 is integrally formed. When the active rod 51 is fitted with the active cam 52, the outer diameter of the active rod 51 has a third cut surface 511, and the inner side of the active cam 52 has a fourth cut surface 523. The third cut surface 511 fits against the fourth cut surface 523, causing the active cam 52 to rotate synchronously with the active rod 51. The active cam 52 has an active ratchet 520 and an active stop ring 521 corresponding to the driven ratchet 420 and the driven stop ring 421, respectively. The surface of the active stop ring 521 is recessed with an active concave arc portion 522. The active cam 52 can be provided with an active stop ring 521 with an active concave arc portion 522 alone, or simultaneously with an active ratchet 520 and an active stop ring 521 with an active concave arc portion 522. The active part 50 has a second stop surface 501 corresponding to the first stop surface 311 on its radial direction. When the screen 6 is tilted upwards to its maximum angle, the first stop surface 311 abuts against the second stop surface 501.
[0041] Torque assembly 7 is installed inside base 2 and sleeved on driven rod 41 of driven shaft 4 and drive rod 51 of drive shaft 5, providing torque when screen 6 is flipped up.
[0042] For usage, please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 7The diagram shows the state of the screen 6 covering the base 2. In this state, if the screen 6 is opened directly with the drive shaft 5 as the rotation center, it will interfere with the base 2. At this time, the gear 40 of the driven shaft 4 meshes with the lower side of the rack 100 of the fixed plate 1, and the drive ratchet 520 of the drive cam 52 and the driven ratchet 420 of the driven cam 42 mesh with each other. The drive concave arc portion 522 of the drive stop ring 521 and the driven concave arc portion 422 of the driven stop ring 421 are in a non-contact state.
[0043] Please refer to the following: Figures 8 to 11 The diagram shows the screen 6 and base 2 in a semi-open state. When the screen 6 is lifted upwards, the active ratchet 520 of the active shaft 5 drives the driven ratchet 420 of the driven shaft 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 40 of the driven shaft 4 to climb upwards a certain distance along the rack 100 of the fixed plate, and drives the displacement block 3 to move upwards synchronously, so that the screen 6 can avoid interference from the base 2 when it is lifted. The number of ratchet teeth of the active ratchet 520 and the driven ratchet 420 can be adjusted according to the required distance to avoid interference between the screen and the base.
[0044] In another embodiment, the active concave arc portion 522 of the active stop ring 521 and the driven concave arc portion 422 of the driven stop ring 421 can be provided separately, without the need for the active thorn 520 and the driven thorn 420. When the screen 6 is lifted upwards, the lower end of the active concave arc portion 522 gradually contacts and abuts against the driven concave arc portion 422 during rotation, and drives the driven shaft 4 to rotate at a certain angle as the active shaft 5 continues to rotate, thereby driving the displacement block 3 to move upwards synchronously, so that the screen 6 can avoid interference from the base 2 when it is lifted. In addition, after the outer periphery of the active stop ring 521 gradually enters the driven concave arc portion 422, it no longer drives the driven shaft 4 to rotate.
[0045] Please refer to the following: Figures 12 to 16 The diagram shows the screen 6 in its fully open state with the base 2. In this state, the outer edge of the active stop ring 521 of the active cam 52 abuts against the driven concave arc portion 422 of the driven cam 42, preventing the driven shaft 4 from rotating and preventing the gear 40 of the driven shaft 4 from disengaging from the rack 100 of the fixing plate. In other words, the abutting relationship between the active cam 52 and the driven cam 42 prevents the driven shaft 4 from continuing to rotate, thus avoiding interference between the screen 6 and the base 2 when the screen 6 is closed. Furthermore, when the screen 6 is opened to its maximum angle, the first stop surface 501 abuts against the second stop surface 311, fixing the screen 6 at its maximum angle.
[0046] It is worth mentioning that when the screen 6 is opened or closed, the drive shaft 5 drives the driven shaft 4 to rotate, and the torque component 7 on the driven rod 41 and the drive rod 51 generates torque, providing a torque feel such as light opening and heavy closing.
[0047] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments provided to fully illustrate the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
