Multi-axis hinge and terminal machine using the multi-axis hinge

Abstract

The invention provides a multi-axis hinge, wherein a first main hinge lever and a first auxiliary hinge lever are rotatably arranged in a first hinge housing through a plurality of connecting elements, and assembly elements are assembled on the first main hinge lever. The second main hinge rod and the second auxiliary hinge rod are rotatably arranged in the second hinge housing through a plurality of connecting elements, and the second main hinge rod is assembled with supporting elements. The first secondary hinge lever and the second secondary hinge lever are rotatably connected to each other through mutually connecting elements respectively provided on both sides thereof. The assembling element and the supporting element rotate synchronously in opposite directions through the synchronous rotating mechanism, and one side of the first main hinge lever and the second main hinge lever is respectively provided with a friction torque generating mechanism and an attracting mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-axis hinge and a tablet notebook computer using the multi-axis hinge. The multi-axis hinge connects a first casing with a keyboard portion and a second casing with a display portion of a terminal device such as a notebook computer. The first casing and the second casing can be relatively opened and closed within an angle range of 360 degrees. In addition, the present invention particularly relates to a multi-axis hinge suitable for use on a tablet notebook computer and a terminal machine using the multi-axis hinge. Here, a tablet notebook computer is an example of a terminal device, and its display portion also has a touch operation function. Background technique [0002] In the known technology, a multi-axis hinge applied to a tablet notebook computer so that the first casing and the second casing can be relatively opened and closed within an angle range of 360 degrees can be referred to, for example, the cont...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the known multi-axis hinge not only has the problem that the structure of the synchronous rotating mechanism is relatively complicated, but also has the problem that many parts are required for assembly.

In addition, in the known multi-axis hinges, since the distance between the axes of each hinge rod is relatively long, a large installation space needs to be reserved during assembly, and the hinge itself performs opening and closing operations between the first housing and the second housing. It is also prone to deformation problems

Furthermore, since the internal structure of the hinge itself is exposed to the outside, it also gives an impression of a rough appearance, and there is a problem of lack of aesthetics.

In addition, since the distance between the axes of each hinge lever is relatively long, when the first housing and the second housing are opened, there will be a large gap between the rear ends of the two.

Furthermore, since the known multi-axis hinges do not include sufficient and effective friction torque generating mechanism and attraction mechanism, it cannot provide the operator with a reliable operating feel, and it will cause the problem that the opening and closing operation is difficult to distinguish
