[0054] The technical solutions according to the embodiments of the present application are subsequently described clearly and completely in connection with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art in this field can generate without creative effort are intended to fall within the scope of the present application.

[0055] In order to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the present application is described in detail below in connection with the drawings and embodiments.

[0056] Fig. Figure 1 is a structural view of a first embodiment of a laptop according to the present application. As shown in Fig. As shown in 1, the laptop may have: a screen 101 and a base 102 with a keyboard 1021 .

[0057] The screen 101 has an end that is at one end of the base 102 is articulated by means of a rotating device. When the screen 101 based on 102 When folded down, the first distance between a lower edge of the screen and a lower edge of the keyboard is smaller than the second distance between an upper end of the screen and the lower edge of the keyboard.

[0058] Fig. Figure 2 is a schematic view of the laptop from above according to the present application in a state where the screen is folded down onto the base. Fig. Figure 3 is a schematic side view of the laptop according to the present application in a state where the screen is folded down onto the base. In the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is the screen 101 based on 102 folded down. In Fig. 2 is to go to the top of the screen 101 easier to distinguish from its lower edge, one end of the screen 101 , where a camera 1011 is located at the top and is one end of the screen. 101 opposite the end, where the camera 1011 The area where the camera is located is referred to as the bottom edge. It is obvious that in practical applications, the camera is positioned on the screen. 101 It may also be arranged in other positions or there may be no camera on the screen. 101 is arranged. The positional relationship between the top and bottom edges of the screen. 101However, this remains unchanged.

[0059] In Fig. The base is located at number 2. 102 below the screen 101 and is therefore in the Fig. 2 not shown. In this embodiment, when the screen 101 based on 102 When folded down, one side of the screen faces upwards, allowing the laptop to be used as a tablet computer. The screen surface is oriented upwards, meaning it has the same orientation as the keyboard, so that when the screen is folded down 101 based on 102 When the screen is folded down, the first distance between the bottom edge of the screen and the bottom edge of the keyboard is smaller than the second distance between the top of the screen and the bottom edge of the keyboard. In other words, when the screen 101 based on 102When folded down, the distance between the bottom edge of the screen and the bottom edge of the keyboard is smaller.

[0060] A guide rail (in Fig. (2 not shown) is on two sides of the base 102 arranged, and the screen 101 It can be moved along the guide rail.

[0061] For example, see Fig. 3. Can the screen 101 relative to the base 102 slide along the guide rail in a direction indicated by a dashed arrow.

[0062] The rotating mechanism for achieving the rotatable connection between the screen and the base can have an articulated shaft. 103 exhibit, and the articulated shaft 103 It is connected to the base. The screen can be moved around the articulated shaft. 103 rotate, which is located at the base, at any position on the guide rail.

[0063] Fig. Figure 4 is a schematic view of the side of the laptop in a state as it appears in Fig. 1 is shown. As in Fig. As shown in 4, the screen slides 101 in this state relative to the base 102 along the guide rail to a position near a limit position. At this point, the keyboard is at the base. 102 no longer from the screen 102 covered and is fully exposed so that the user can perform an input operation using the keyboard, and the laptop can operate in this state in the normal working state of the laptop.

[0064] In this state, the screen 101 still relative to the base 102 slide along the guide rail in the direction indicated by the dashed arrow, and when it slides into any position, the screen 101 around the articulated shaft103 , which is based on 102 is connected, rotatable.

[0065] Fig. Figure 5 is a schematic view from the side of the laptop in a state where the screen is facing the direction shown in Figure 5. Fig. 4. In the position shown, it slides relative to the base and then rotates around the articulated shaft by a specific angle. As shown in Fig. As shown in point 5, in this state there is a specific angle between the screen 101 and the base 102 formed, and the laptop can work in a working mode like a normal laptop.

[0066] Fig. Figure 6 is a schematic view showing the setup of the laptop according to the present application in a different usage mode. Fig. Figure 7 is a schematic view from the side of the laptop in a usage mode, as described in Fig. 6 is shown. As in the Fig. 6 and Fig. As shown in 7, the screen 101 and the base102 They slide relative to each other by a small distance. In this state, part of the keyboard keys is at the base. 102 exposed. A camera can be located on the back of the screen. 103 be arranged, and in which Fig. In the usage mode shown in step 6, the laptop can be switched to a camera mode.

[0067] In summary, in the laptop according to this embodiment, when the screen is folded down onto the base, the first distance between the lower edge of the screen and the lower edge of the keyboard is smaller than the second distance between the upper edge of the screen and the lower edge of the keyboard, so that when the screen is folded down onto the base, the screen surface is facing outwards, which allows the user to more easily use the laptop in tablet computer mode.

[0068] Furthermore, the guide rail is arranged on both sides of the base, and the screen is movable along the guide rail. At any position on the guide rail, the screen can be rotated around the articulated shaft connected to the base. Therefore, according to the present application, the laptop has various usage modes.

[0069] In practical application, to fix the screen relative to the base after the screen has slid into any position, a first damping component is attached to the articulated shaft. 103 This prevents the screen from sliding freely along the base after the user stops moving it. An initial frictional force is provided between the first damper component and the guide rail, and this initial frictional force is greater than a preset frictional force.

[0070] Fig. Figure 8 is a schematic view showing the construction of the first damper component according to an embodiment of the present application. As in Fig. As shown in section 8, the first damper component may consist of a screw. 801 , a friction plate 802 and an articulated shaft base 803 .

[0071] The articulated shaft base 803 is below a higher level 1041 arranged on the guide rail, and the friction plate 802 is above the upper level 1041 arranged on the guide rail, with the screw 801 through the friction plate 802 and the upper level 1041 the guide rail leads through to the articulated shaft base 803 to be attached. The articulated shaft base 803 can be used with the articulated shaft (in Fig. (8 not shown) can be connected, and a laptop screen can be attached to the articulated shaft base. 803The screen can be positioned along the guide rail using the articulated shaft base. 803 be postponed.

[0072] Fig. Figure 9 shows a schematic top view illustrating the first damper component and the guide rail according to an embodiment of the present application. In conjunction with the Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, as shown in the figures, is the upper level 1041 the guide rail 104 between the articulated shaft base 803 and the friction plate 802 by means of the screw 801 arranged or clamped so that a certain frictional force is generated when the articulated shaft base 803 along the guide rail 104 moved in such a way that if a movement takes place to any position on the guide rail, the screen located at the base can be fixed relative to the base.

[0073] To provide feedback to the user when the screen slides into the limit position, and to slow the screen down when it reaches the limit position, a second damping component is arranged in an area near the upper end of the keyboard, on the guide rail at the base of the laptop, as described in the present application. When the hinged shaft of the screen slides along the guide rail to the aforementioned area, the second damping component generates reverse damping.

[0074] Fig. Figure 10 shows a schematic top view of the guide rail including the second damper component according to an embodiment of the present application. As in Fig. As shown in figure 10, there is a second damper component. 105 on the guide rail 104 located in an area near the top of the keyboard. One element 106is connected to the articulated shaft and is designed to move a part of the movable shaft that runs along the guide rail 104 slides. When the articulated shaft of the screen slides to an area at the top of the keyboard along the guide rail, the second damper component creates 105 a reverse damping effect, which applies a reverse actuating force to the element 106 exercises.

[0075] In practical applications, the second damper component can be a spring.

[0076] To fix the screen when it slides to a limit position on the guide rail, a fixing element can further be arranged at one end, near the upper end of the keyboard, of the guide rail at the base of the laptop according to the present application. When the articulated shaft of the screen slides along the guide rail to the end of the guide rail that is near the upper end of the keyboard, the fixing element fixes the relative position between the screen and the base.

[0077] Fig. Figure 11 is a schematic view showing the structure of the fixing component according to an embodiment of the present application. As in Fig. As shown in 11, the fixing component can have a first fixing hook. 1101 and a second fixing hook 1102 exhibit the first fixing hook. 1101 can be positioned on the guide rail at the end near the top of the keyboard, and the second fixing hook1102 It can be located on the articulated shaft. When the screen moves to the limit position at one end of the base, the first fixing hook can 1101 and the second fixing hook 1102 enter into a snap seat with each other, as is done in Fig. Figure 11 shows how the screen is fixed at the boundary position.

[0078] The rotating device according to the above-mentioned embodiments is designed to create a rotatable connection between the screen and the base, and features the articulated shaft. 103 which is connected to the base. At any position on the guide rail, the screen is positioned around the articulated shaft. 103 rotatable.

[0079] Since increasingly higher demands are placed on the portability of an electronic device on today's market, a rotating device according to an embodiment of the present application is disclosed which reduces the thickness of the rotating device while ensuring that the strength of the rotating device meets a requirement for supporting the screen and further reduces the thickness of the electronic device using the rotating device.

[0080] Fig. Figure 12 shows a schematic top view illustrating the construction of a first embodiment of a rotary device according to the present application. Fig. Figure 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the construction of the first embodiment of the rotary device according to the present application. Fig. Figure 14 is a schematic side view showing the construction of the first embodiment of the rotary device according to the present invention. As shown in the Fig. 12, Fig. 13 and Fig. As shown in Figure 14, the rotating device may have: an articulated shaft 401 , a first coupling rotary shaft 402 and a rotary shaft carrier body 40 .

[0081] The rotary shaft support body 40 features a rotary shaft support space 200 up, and the articulated shaft 401 and the first coupling rotary shaft 402 are in the rotary shaft carrier space 200 arranged.

[0082] A main gearbox part 403 (in Fig. (12 not shown) is on the articulated shaft 401 arranged and rotates together with the rotation of the articulated shaft 401 A first coupling gear component 404 (in Fig. (12 not shown) is on the first coupling rotary shaft 402 arranged. The main gearbox part 403 interacts with the first coupling gear part 404 together.

[0083] The first coupling gear part 404 is around the first coupling rotary shaft 402 rotatable, and the first coupling rotary shaft 402 is connected to the first coupling gear part 404 in the fixed seat.

[0084] The first coupling gear part 404 It is in the form of a sleeve on the first coupling rotary shaft 402 attached. A diameter of an inner bore of the first coupling gear part. 404 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the first coupling rotary shaft 402 After the first coupling rotation shaft 402 through the inner bore of the first coupling gear part 404 The first coupling rotation is guided. 402in a fixed position with the first coupling gear part 404 , so that a frictional force can be generated when the first coupling gear part 404 around the first coupling rotary shaft 402 rotates. The frictional force can fix the position of a component that uses an articulated shaft. 401 is connected when the component is connected together with the articulated shaft. 401 rotated into any position.

[0085] In practical applications, the component, which has an articulated shaft, can 401 The device connected is a laptop screen. Due to the tight fit between the first coupling rotating shaft and the first coupling gear part, the position of the laptop screen can be fixed when the screen rotates to any position.

[0086] In this embodiment, at least two rotating shafts are used, comprising the articulated shaft and the first coupling rotating shaft, so that part of the weight of the component supported by the articulated shaft can be absorbed by the first coupling rotating shaft. That is, the articulated shaft according to this embodiment can support a component with a greater weight compared to a single rotating shaft of the same size. In other words, if the component to be supported has the same weight, the size of the single rotating shaft can be reduced when using the rotating device according to this embodiment. As in Fig. As shown in 13, the thickness of the rotating device, i.e., the width of the rotating shaft support body, depends on the thickness of the rotating device, i.e., the width of the rotating shaft support body. 40 in Fig. 13, mainly depends on the diameter of the rotary shaft and the diameter of the gear. Therefore, if multiple rotary shafts and gears are used to establish the rotary device, the diameter of each of the rotary shafts and gears can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the rotary device.

[0087] In this embodiment, at least two rotating shafts are used: the articulated shaft and the first coupling rotating shaft. The main gear element is mounted on the articulated shaft and rotates with the rotation of the articulated shaft. The first coupling gear element is mounted on the first coupling rotating shaft. The main gear element interacts with the first coupling gear element. Therefore, part of the weight of the component supported by the articulated shaft, such as a screen, can be borne by the first coupling rotating shaft. This allows for a reduction in the diameter of the individual rotating shaft, which in turn reduces the thickness of the rotating device. This ensures that the strength of the rotating device meets the requirement to support the screen and further reduces the thickness of the electronic device using the rotating device.

[0088] Fig. Figure 15 is a schematic top view of an embodiment of a rotary shaft support body according to the present application. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 15, the rotary shaft support body can have: a first rotary shaft support part 41 and a second rotary shaft support part 42 The first rotary shaft support part 41 and the second rotary shaft support part 42 together they form the rotary shaft support space 200 .

[0089] The articulated shaft 401 has an end that is located at the first rotary shaft support part. 41 is arranged, and another end, which is attached to the second rotary shaft support part. 42 is arranged.

[0090] The first coupling rotary shaft 402 has an end that is located at the first rotary shaft support part. 41 is arranged, and another end, which is attached to the second rotary shaft support part. 42 is arranged.

[0091] In the embodiment that is in Fig. As shown in 15, this is the main gearbox part (in Fig. 15 not shown) in the rotary shaft support space 200 arranged and can be arranged by means of the first rotary shaft support part 41 and the second rotary shaft support part 42 must be attached or clamped in order to connect to the first rotary shaft support part 41 and the second rotary shaft support part 42 to be in a tight fit. The axial thickness of the main gear part can be slightly greater than the width of the rotary shaft support space. 200 In this way, when the main gear part rotates, a frictional force can be generated between the main gear part and the first rotating shaft support part. 41 as well as between the main gearbox part and the second rotary shaft support part 42 are generated so that the position of the components connected to the articulated shaft can be determined. 401are connected, can be fixed when the components are moved into any position along the articulated shaft. 401 rotate.

[0092] In practical applications, the component, which has an articulated shaft, can 401 The device is connected to a laptop screen. The main gear unit is located in the rotating shaft support space, allowing the laptop screen to be held in place by the first and second rotating shaft support sections when the screen rotates to any position, thus fixing the position of the laptop screen.

[0093] Similarly, the first coupling gear part is located in the rotary shaft support space. 200 arranged and can also be from the first rotary shaft support part 41 and the second rotary shaft support part 42 to be held in place in order to connect with the first rotary shaft support part 41and the second rotary shaft support part 42 to be firmly seated. In this way, when the first coupling gear part rotates, a frictional force can be generated between the first coupling gear part and the first rotating shaft support part. 41 as well as between the first coupling gear part and the second rotary shaft support part 42 are generated so that the position of the components connected to the articulated shaft can be determined. 401 are connected, can be fixed when the components are moved into any position along the articulated shaft. 401 rotate.

[0094] In practical applications, to simplify manufacturing and reduce production costs for the gearbox or gearbox component, multiple first coupling gears can be used. These multiple first coupling gears are arranged axially around the first coupling rotary shaft. 402The multiple first coupling gears are superimposed, and each of the several first coupling gears interacts with the main gear part. When multiple first coupling gears are used, the thickness of a single gear can be reduced so that the gear can be manufactured by a stamping process. If the first coupling gear part is a gear with a greater thickness, the gear must be manufactured by a casting process. Since the stamping process is less expensive than the casting process, the method of using multiple first coupling gears can save on the manufacturing costs of the rotary device according to the embodiments of the present application.
