Dual-Axis Hinge Assembly With Elastic Member For Damage Prevention

The hinge assembly transitions from a fixed pivot axis distance to a dynamic adjustable distance. The elastic member enables the pivot axes to move relative to each other along guide slots when external force is applied (such as when an object is inserted), increasing the distance between display housing and main housing to prevent damage. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by maintaining fixed positioning during normal use while allowing distance increase during abnormal situations.

The elastic member is pre-installed in the hinge assembly to provide beforehand cushioning. When an object is accidentally inserted between the housings during closure or opening, the elastic member compresses or extends to increase the pivot axis distance, creating a protective buffer that prevents damage before it occurs. This prior cushioning mechanism resolves the contradiction by preparing the system in advance to handle abnormal situations.

The hinge assembly uses guide slots to constrain the movement of pivot axes to specific linear paths, maintaining precise positioning control during normal operation. When force is applied, the pivot axes move only along the predetermined slot directions, ensuring that positioning precision is maintained while allowing the necessary distance adjustment for damage prevention.

The system changes the distance parameter between pivot axes dynamically based on external conditions. During normal use, the distance remains at the precise manufactured value. When an object is inserted and force is applied, the elastic member allows the distance parameter to change by moving the pivot axes along the guide slots, preventing damage while maintaining control over the movement.
