[0014] The top of the screen connecting shaft is threaded with a screen torque nut that abuts against the screen mounting bracket and is used to adjust the torque of the screen friction torque component.

[0015] Furthermore, the screen friction torque assembly includes two second screen friction pads;

[0016] The screen friction torque assembly also includes several screen torque plates located between the two second friction plates;

[0017] The screen torque nut is positioned on the screen connecting shaft as follows: the two ends of the first screen friction pad abut against the screen mounting bracket and the connecting bracket respectively, and the two second screen friction pads abut against the second bevel teeth and the connecting bracket respectively.

[0018] Furthermore, the X-axis drive assembly includes an X-axis drive device, and the output end of the X-axis drive device is connected to a first gear;

The screen friction torque component and the system friction torque component provide controllable interference force during rotation, ensuring stable positioning of the screen and connecting frame at any angle and preventing accidental rotation. The system friction gap component effectively eliminates backlash in gear transmission, reducing wobbling and improving the rigidity and precision of the overall structure during rotation.

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a laptop computer with automatic flip and rotate functions includes a pivot body, a system end 1 and a screen end 2, and a connecting frame 3;

[0040] The top of the connector 3 is provided with a screen connecting shaft 4 that can rotate around the Y-axis, and the screen connecting shaft 4 is connected to the screen end 2.

[0041] Both ends of the connecting frame 3 are provided with system connecting shafts 5 that can rotate around the X-axis, and both system connecting shafts 5 are connected to the system end 1.

[0042] The connecting frame 3 is also equipped with a Y-axis drive assembly for driving the screen connecting shaft 4 to rotate and an X-axis drive assembly for driving the system connecting shaft 5 to rotate.

[0043] In this embodiment, the X-axis drive component can drive the system connecting shaft 5 to rotate around the X-axis of the connecting frame 3, thereby causing the connecting frame 3 to rotate relative to the system end 1. In the X-axis direction of the connecting frame 3, the screen end 2 and the connecting frame 3 are in a linked state, which can cause the screen end 2 to open or close relative to the system end 1. When the screen end 2 is in the open state, the Y-axis drive component drives the screen connecting shaft 4 to rotate around the Y-axis of the connecting frame 3, which can cause the screen 2 to flip relative to the connecting frame 3. In the Y-axis direction of the connecting frame 3, the system end 1 and the connecting frame 3 are in a linked state, which can cause the screen end 2 to flip relative to the system end 1. In this way, without affecting the user's operating system end 1, the screen end 2 can be flipped to the non-user's direction for non-user to view.

[0044] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, there can be two sets of X-axis drive components, and the two sets of X-axis drive components correspond to the two system connection axes 5 respectively.

[0045] Preferably, the Y-axis drive assembly includes a Y-axis drive device 6, and the output end of the Y-axis drive device 6 is connected to a first bevel gear 7;

[0046] The Y-axis drive assembly also includes a second bevel tooth 8 that is connected to the bottom end of the screen connection shaft 4 and meshes with the first bevel tooth 7.

[0047] In this embodiment, the Y-axis drive device 6 can be a motor. Starting the Y-axis drive device 6 can drive the first bevel gear 7 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the second bevel gear 8 and the first bevel gear 7, the screen connecting shaft 4 can be rotated, which in turn can drive the screen end 2 to flip relative to the connecting frame 3.

[0048] Preferably, a screen mounting bracket 9 located at the top of the connecting frame 3 and connected to the screen end 2 is sleeved on the screen connecting shaft 4;

[0049] The screen connecting shaft 4 is fitted with a screen first friction piece 11 located between the screen mounting bracket 9 and the connecting bracket 3;

[0050] A screen friction torque assembly located between the connecting frame 3 and the second bevel tooth 8 is also sleeved on the screen connecting shaft 4;

[0051] The top of the screen connecting shaft 4 is threaded with a screen torque nut 10 that abuts against the screen mounting bracket 9 and is used to adjust the torque of the screen friction torque component.

[0052] Preferably, the screen friction torque assembly includes two second screen friction pads 12;

[0053] The screen friction torque assembly also includes several screen torque plates 13 located between the two second friction plates 12;

[0054] The screen torque nut 10 is positioned on the screen connecting shaft 4 such that the two ends of the first screen friction piece 11 abut against the screen mounting bracket 9 and the connecting bracket 3 respectively, and the two second screen friction pieces 12 abut against the second bevel tooth 8 and the connecting bracket 3 respectively.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first friction piece 11 of the screen increases the friction between the screen mounting bracket 9 and the connecting bracket 3, thereby ensuring the relative rotation between the screen mounting bracket 9 and the connecting bracket 3 and preventing them from reacting together in the Y-axis direction of the connecting bracket 3. The screen friction torque component provides interference force for the rotation of the screen connecting shaft 4 to position the various flip angles of the screen end 2 and prevent accidental rotation. The screen torque nut 10 can adjust the torque of the screen friction torque component by changing its relative position to the screen connecting shaft 4. This torque determines how much force the user needs to apply to flip the screen end 2 and also determines the stability of the angle positioning of the screen end 2 after flipping.

[0056] Preferably, the X-axis drive assembly includes an X-axis drive device 13, and the output end of the X-axis drive device 13 is connected to a first gear 14;

[0057] The Y-axis drive assembly also includes a second gear 15 that is connected to the inner end of the system connecting shaft 5 and meshes with the first gear 14.

[0058] In this embodiment, the X-axis drive device 13 can be a motor. Starting the X-axis drive device 13 can drive the first gear 14 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the second gear 15 and the first gear 14, the system connecting shaft 5 can be driven to rotate, which in turn can drive the connecting frame 3 to rotate relative to the system end 1.

[0059] Preferably, a system mounting bracket 16 located outside the connecting frame 3 and connected to the system end 1 is sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5;

[0060] A spacer positioning component located between the system mounting bracket 16 and the connecting bracket 3 is sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5;

[0061] A system clearance nut 17 located inside the connecting frame 3 is sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5, and a system friction clearance assembly located between the connecting frame 3 and the system clearance nut 17 is also sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5;

[0062] A screen torque nut 18 located outside the system mounting bracket 16 is sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5, and a system friction torque assembly located between the system mounting bracket 16 and the screen torque nut 18 is also sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5.

[0063] In this embodiment, the system friction gap assembly provides interference force to eliminate backlash during the transmission process between the second gear 15 and the first gear 14, thereby reducing the wobbling problem of the connecting frame 3 and the screen end 2 during rotation. The system gap nut 17 can be used to adjust the magnitude of this interference force. The system friction torque assembly provides interference torque for the rotation of the system connecting shaft 5, thus enabling the positioning of the angular state of the system connecting shaft 5 after rotation and preventing accidental rotation of the screen end 2. The screen torque nut 18 can be used to adjust the magnitude of this interference force.

[0064] Preferably, the interval positioning assembly includes an interval positioning ring 19 sleeved on the system connecting shaft 5 and two interval positioning friction plates 20 located on both sides of the interval positioning ring 19, with the two interval positioning friction plates 20 respectively abutting against the system mounting frame 16 and the connecting frame 3.

[0065] In this embodiment, the setting of the interval positioning component can increase the friction between the connecting frame 3 and the system mounting frame 16, thereby ensuring the relative rotation between the system mounting frame 16 and the connecting frame 3 and avoiding the two from having a linkage reaction in the X-axis direction of the connecting frame 3.

[0066] Preferably, the system friction gap assembly includes two system first friction plates 21 and a plurality of system first torque plates 22 located between the two system first friction plates 21, with the two system first friction plates 21 respectively abutting against the connecting frame 3 and the system gap nut 17.

[0067] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the first torque plates 22 of several systems and the first friction plates 21 of two systems can provide gap compensation interference force for the system connecting shaft 5.

[0068] Preferably, the system friction torque assembly includes two system second friction plates 23 and a plurality of system second torque plates 24 located between the two system second friction plates 23, with the two system second friction plates 23 respectively abutting against the system mounting bracket 16 and the screen torque nut 18.

[0069] In this embodiment, the cooperation between several system second torque plates 24 and two system second friction plates 23 can provide rotational interference force for the system connecting shaft 5.

[0070] Preferably, a protective shell 25 is fitted onto the connecting frame 3, and the protective shell 25 can be rotatably fitted to both the system end 1 and the screen end 2. The protective shell 25 not only protects the connecting frame 3, but also serves a decorative and aesthetic purpose.
