Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of displays, specifically to a cable guide hinge structure. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information relating to this disclosure, and these statements may constitute prior art. In the process of developing this utility model, the inventors discovered at least the following problems in the prior art.

[0003] Plasma is primarily used to produce blood products such as albumin, globulin, clotting factors, and vaccines, and is a life-saving drug for various conditions including burns, liver disease, blood loss, and hemophilia. Currently, human medical technology cannot meet the requirements for artificially synthesizing plasma to produce blood products, making it an irreplaceable clinical treatment drug. Plasma is also an important national strategic reserve material, serving as an emergency medicine in response to sudden emergencies such as natural disasters, wars, and outbreaks of major infectious diseases.

[0004] There are two ways to obtain plasma. One is to donate only plasma, using a plasma collection machine to collect whole blood from the body and separate the plasma, while the remaining blood components are returned to the body. The other is to separate plasma from donated whole blood.

[0005] Equipment such as plasma apheresis machines (for single-plasma collection) or blood component separators (for whole blood separation) require a display for human-computer interaction. The display and the main unit are typically connected by a hinge structure. This hinge allows for adjustment of the display angle to facilitate use by operators of different heights. The hinge also allows the display to be folded during product transportation to reduce packaging size.

[0006] There are three common ways to connect monitor cables to a computer: The first is that the cable extends outside the machine and loops around the hinge when it encounters it, such as... Figure 2 As shown; the second type is a damping hinge that is straight, occupying the central position, and connected to the monitor. The cable passes through the hinge and the connection in parallel (as shown). Figure 3 (As shown in 4 or 5, these are earlier versions designed by our company); the third type has a hollow damping hinge, with the cable passing through the center of the damping hinge, such as... Figure 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, all three types of shaft structures described above have certain drawbacks.

[0007] The first type of exposed wires: The machine has poor waterproofing at the cable location, it looks unsightly, and the cables are easily damaged by external forces when the display screen rotates.

[0008] The second type passes through parallel to the pivot hinge: since the hinge must be located at the center of rotation, such as... Figure 3As shown, the cable size is limited and cannot be too large. If the cable size is to be increased, the internal space must be increased, which requires increasing the external dimensions. This results in problems such as unsightly appearance, large space occupation when folded, and higher processing costs.

[0009] The third type is where the hinge is a hollow, complete circle, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the center is the cable pass hole 12. Since the monitor is connected to the host, one end of the standard cable also has a cable connector 4, such as... Figure 9 As shown. However, if the cable connector is larger than the cable, and the connector cannot pass through the cable guide hole 12, then the cable needs to be passed through the cable guide hole 12 first, and then the cable connector needs to be soldered. This makes the assembly process cumbersome and makes repair and replacement of parts more difficult. If the cable connector can pass through without compromising the assembly process, the hinge and pivot structure need to be made larger, which is not only unsightly but also takes up a lot of space when folded, and the processing cost is also higher.

[0010] To address the above issues, the applicant requests the design of a hinge structure that simultaneously meets the following requirements:

[0011] 1. The cables between the monitor and the host are routed through the center of the hinge, so they are not exposed outside the machine, making it more aesthetically pleasing and less susceptible to damage from external forces;

[0012] 2. The hinge structure allows for internal wiring while maintaining the same external dimensions, enabling it to accommodate larger cable sizes.

[0013] 3. The hinge structure allows for internal wiring without increasing the overall dimensions, and also enables assembly of cables with connectors. Furthermore, the absence of exposed cable holes reduces the risk of leakage. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments of the present invention are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the present invention. Various substitutions and modifications made in accordance with ordinary technical knowledge and conventional means in the art without departing from the technical concept of the present invention should be included within the scope of the present invention.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a cable-passing hinge structure includes a display connection front cover 5 and a damping hinge 2; the display connection front cover 5 is used to assemble with a display 10; it also includes a hinge connector 3 and a damping hinge pressure plate 6; the hinge connector 3 includes a damping hinge mounting slot 9 and a semi-open cylinder for assembling the cable 1, such as... Figure 12 Or as shown in Figure 13; the display connection front cover 5 is provided with a damping hinge mounting groove 7, such as... Figure 11 As shown, one end of the damping hinge 2 is located in the damping hinge mounting groove 7, and is pressed and fixed to the display front cover plate 5 after assembly via the damping hinge pressure plate 6. Figure 10 As shown; the other end of the damping hinge 2 is adapted to the damping hinge mounting slot 9.

[0052] The damping hinge pressure plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 connected to the display can be assembled using detachable methods such as threaded connections. Figure 10As shown. The damping hinge 2 inside is a rotating structure. After assembly, the monitor 10 and the host 11 can rotate through the damping hinge 2. The semi-open cylinder of the rotating shaft connector 3 is used to hold the cable. Due to its semi-open design, when placing the cable 1, the middle part of the cable 1 can be laid flat inside without having to pass the head of the cable 1 through the middle, i.e., the cable connector 4 does not need to pass through the inside of the rotating shaft connector 3. This allows the cable 1 to be crimped with the cable connector 4 first, avoiding the problem of the interface terminal being too large to pass through, and also simplifying the assembly process. At the same time, the damping hinge 2 shifts the rotation center to the inside of the monitor connection front cover 5 through the rotating shaft connector 3, leaving all the space for the cable 1, thus allowing thicker cables 1 to pass through without increasing the size of the rotating shaft structure. Its cylindrical design also effectively protects the cable 1 placed flat inside from damage due to rotation.

[0053] like Figure 15 As shown, the cable routing hinge structure also includes a display connection rear cover plate 16, which can be detachably assembled with the display connection front cover plate 5 using a threaded connection or other detachable method. Using this method, the cable 1 can be routed inside the device, avoiding the risk of water leakage due to the cable being exposed at the hinge position, and reducing the risk of damage to the cable 1 from external forces, resulting in a longer product lifespan and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0054] However, because the monitor 10 rotates at a large angle, to prevent the gap between the hinge connector 3 and the monitor back cover 16 from being too small when the monitor rotates to its minimum closing angle, thus cutting the cable 1, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the semi-open cylinder has a cable passage 8 located at the connection between the semi-open cylinder and the damping hinge mounting slot 9, used to prevent interference between the cable 1 and the display connection cover 16 when the display 10 rotates. Figure 16 As shown, after the monitor 10 is folded, the cable 1 is located in the cable passage 8 of the hinge connector 3, which avoids the cable 1 being cut due to the small gap between the hinge connector 3 and the monitor back cover 16.

[0055] The width of the cable tray 8 is slightly larger than the width of the cable 1, so that the cable 1 can pass through the cable tray when the display screen is rotated to the corresponding angle without interfering with the back cover 16 of the display. Of course, the space for the front and back covers of the display can also be designed to be larger, which can also solve the above problem, but it will inevitably make the entire cable tray hinge structure bulky, taking up space when folded and not aesthetically pleasing.

[0056] Because one end of the damping hinge 2 is pressed and fixed by the damping hinge pressure plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 connecting the display, the wobbling gap of the display 10 caused by assembly gaps can be avoided. Furthermore, the fit clearance between the damping hinge mounting slot 9 and the other end of the damping hinge 2 is a small interference fit, which further avoids the aforementioned problems.

[0057] However, because the fit clearance between the damping hinge mounting slot 9 and the other end of the damping hinge 2 is a small interference fit, it will cause some inconvenience when replacing the damping hinge 2. To facilitate the replacement of the damping hinge 2, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the damping hinge mounting slot 9 and the semi-open cylinder connection point are also provided with a damping hinge removal process hole 15. Simply by removing the pivot connector 3, the damping hinge 2 can be pushed out through this process hole using a tool, thus replacing the damping hinge 2.

[0058] The rotating shaft connector 3 can be a single piece. Alternatively, it can be... Figure 1 As shown, there are two pivot connectors 3, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the display connection front cover plate 5; the number of damping hinges 2 is the same as the number of pivot connectors 3, symmetrically installed in the pivot connectors 3 and the damping hinge mounting slots 7. Correspondingly, the display connection front cover plate 5 also has the same number of damping hinge mounting slots 7 symmetrically provided. Using the above method, the stability of the display 10 during rotation can be increased, making the rotation smoother.

[0059] like Figure 14 As shown, the damping hinge 2 is an adjustable damping hinge. When the hinge damping force decreases over time, the damping force can be adjusted to maintain the display screen at a suitable angle. The damping hinge 2 is an existing product; the applicant currently uses the manufacturer's model CL5A-3N.m, while another manufacturer's model is HG-314 with a large torque of 3.3Nm.

[0060] Of course, it can also be like Figure 18 As shown, the damping hinge 2 can also be custom-made into a single part with the pivot connector 3, instead of using the standard damping hinge component. Additionally, adding a mounting hole at one end of the hinge allows for the removal of the damping hinge pressure plate 6, as shown. Figure 19 As shown. The advantage of this solution is that it reduces the number of parts by two, but the disadvantage is that if the production volume is small, the processing cost may be high.

[0061] Optionally, one end of the damping hinge 2 located within the damping hinge mounting groove 7 faces the center of the display connection front cover 5, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0062] To prevent the hinge connector 3 from rotating with the monitor 10, thus avoiding movement of the cable guide 8 and causing the cable 1 to misalign with the cable guide 8 and interfere with the housing when the monitor 10 reaches its minimum closing angle, the hinge connector 3 is preferably fixed. For example, it can be detachably and securely assembled with the monitor's front cover 5 or monitor stand 13. Various methods can achieve this. However, to ensure that the fixed position of the hinge connector 3 does not affect the placement of the damping hinge 2 or the cable 1 (especially since the damping hinge 2 and the hinge connector 3 have a small interference fit), such as... Figure 12 As shown in Figure 13, the rear end of the semi-open cylinder is provided with a mounting plate with a threaded hole 14 for assembling the rotating shaft connector 3 with the display bracket 13.

[0063] This application discloses a cable-passing hinge structure that, while allowing adjustment of the display 10 angle to facilitate operation by users of different heights, also enables the cable 1 to be routed internally within the equipment, reducing the risk of damage during external forces or rotation. Furthermore, this application allows the use of thicker cables 1 without increasing the size of the display hinge connection, thus providing greater flexibility in cable selection. This application also optimizes assembly processability and after-sales maintainability, reducing manufacturing and after-sales costs.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown in Figures 10 or 15, a computer device includes a monitor 10, a host 11, a monitor stand 13, and a cable 1. The monitor stand 13 is mounted on the host 11. One end of the cable 1 is connected to the monitor 10, and the other end is connected to the host 11 via a cable connector 4. The device also includes the aforementioned cable guide hinge structure, disposed between the monitor and the monitor stand. The monitor stand 13 further includes a back cover 17 for detachable connection. Figure 17 As shown, after the bracket back cover 17 is installed, the cable 1 and hinge will no longer be visible, which not only protects the cable 1 well, but also makes it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0065] Unless otherwise specified, fixed connections can be riveting, welding, bolting, etc., while movable connections can be hinged, etc.
