Hinge structure and foldable electronic equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a hinge structure and foldable electronic equipment. The hinge structure comprises a seat body, a locking plate, a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, wherein thefirst rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are parallel to each other, the locking plate can be movably mounted on the seat body along the arrangement direction of the first rotating shaft andthe second rotating shaft, so that the locking plate has a locking state and an unlocking state; the locking plate is provided with long circular holes and shaft holes in the arrangement direction ofthe first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, and locking notches are formed in the sides, facing the long circular holes, of the shaft holes. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are matched with the locking plate; a first limiting part is formed on the first rotating shaft; a second limiting part is formed on the second rotating shaft; the first limiting part and thesecond limiting part are matched to enable the first rotating shaft to switch the rotating state when the first rotating shaft rotates relative to the second rotating shaft, and finally 360-degree rotation of the first rotating shaft relative to the second rotating shaft is achieved, the structure and parts can be reduced, the height size can be reduced, and lightening and thinning of products are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, in particular to a hinge structure and a foldable electronic device. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, touch screens are widely used in electronic equipment, and realizing 360° folding has become an important form of electronic equipment, such as figure 1 It shows a form of an existing electronic device being used as a notebook computer, figure 2 Then it shows that the electronic device is used as a tablet computer. Among the above-mentioned morphological changes of electronic devices, the 360° folding of the hinge structure is the key core technology. [0003] The hinge structure currently applied to foldable electronic devices can generally be realized by two axes, three axes or multiple axes. In the above-mentioned two-axis hinge structure, the two rotating shafts are generally connected by an intermediate connection mechani...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the above-mentioned two-axis hinge structure, the two rotating shafts are generally connected by an intermediate connection mechanism such as a gear or a turbine, and it is difficult for the hinge structure to achieve a smaller size effect in terms of height, which affects the realization of thinner and lighter electronic equipment; at the same time, its structure The number of parts is large and the assembly is more complicated
