Detailed ways

Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , they respectively show a perspective view, an exploded perspective view and a perspective view from another angle of an embodiment of the hinge of the present invention. The hinge 2 can be used in clamshell electronic devices, such as notebook computers, mobile phones or translators. In the figure, the hinge 2 includes a screen fixing part 21 , a host fixing part 23 , a supporting part 22 and a rotating shaft 24 . The screen fixing part 21 is used to couple the screen housing of the clamshell electronic device (such as the screen housing 14 shown in Figure 1), preferably, the screen fixing part 21 has at least one hole 211, so that the screen fixing part 21 can be used The locking method is fixedly connected with the screen casing.

The host fixing member 23 is used for coupling the host housing and the rotating shaft 24 of the clamshell electronic device. Likewise, the host fixing part 23 preferably has at least one hole 231 , so that the host fixing part 23 can be fixedly connected with the host casing in a locking manner.

The supporting member 22 is composed of a plurality of boards 221 , 222 for coupling the screen fixing member 21 and the rotating shaft 24 . Wherein, preferably, the plate body 221 and the plate body 222 are attached to each other, for example, there is at least one corresponding hole 223 on the plate body 221 and the plate body 222, and then the plate body 221 and the plate body 222 are connected by the rivet 224 through the hole 223. riveted. Wherein, preferably, the plurality of plates 221, 222 have bends, such as U-shaped, half-moon-shaped, L-shaped or ㄇ-shaped. Wherein, the plurality of boards 221 , 222 can be integrally formed with the screen fixing member 21 .

In Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the sleeve friction type rotating shaft is used as the embodiment of the rotating shaft 24, but it is not limited thereto. within the scope of protection.

By using the hinge 2 , the screen case of the clamshell electronic device can be rotatably fixed to the main body case. And when the screen case and the main body case are closed, the supporting member 22 avoids the surface opposite to the main body case and the screen case, so as to maintain the integrity of the surface.

In addition, the hinge 2 may include at least one housing according to needs, covering the support to increase the aesthetics of the hinge 2 , and the space covered by the housing can accommodate screen signal cables or other cables. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the housing 51 and the housing 52 can cover the plates 221 and 222 . The housing 51 may have a locking portion 53 (shown in FIG. 6 ) for locking the housing 51 and the screen body.

Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 , they are respectively the front schematic view, the rear schematic view and the closed state schematic view of the clamshell electronic device embodiment of the present invention in the open state. In the figure, the clamshell electronic device takes a notebook computer as an example. In FIG. 7 , the notebook computer 7 includes a host housing 71 , a data processing module 72 , a screen housing 73 , a display module 74 and at least one hinge 75 . The data processing module 72 is disposed in the host casing 71 for processing data, and the display module 74 is electrically connected to the data processing module 72 for displaying data and embedded in the screen casing 73 .

The hinge 75 connects the screen case 73 and the main body case 71 so that the screen case 73 is rotatably fixed to the main body case 71 . In FIG. 7 , the structure of the hinge 75 is the same as that shown in FIG. 5 , so it will not be described in detail here. The supporting part of the hinge 75 is exposed from the side 712 of the main body casing 71 to be coupled to the screen fixing part, and the hinge 75 includes a casing 751 for covering the supporting part. Wherein, preferably, the side 712 is the rear side of the main body casing 71 , and the rear side is a side close to the connection with the screen casing 73 .

For easy understanding, Fig. 7 shows the hinge 75 with dotted lines, and only one hinge 75 is shown, but in fact, when the notebook computer 7 is opened, the user will not see the hinge 75 from the front, thus increasing the number of notebook computers. 7 aesthetics. In the open state, the support member of the hinge 75 can be seen from the back of the notebook computer, as shown in FIG. 8 .

Since the supporting part of the hinge 75 is bent and exposed from the rear side of the main body casing 71, when the screen casing 73 and the main body casing 71 are closed, the supporting part of the hinge 75 can avoid the main body casing 71 The surface 711 opposite to the screen housing to maintain the integrity of the surface 711 means that the edge of the surface 711 does not need to have a notch or groove to accommodate the structure of the hinge 75 .

In addition, the hinge 75 can have a larger housing as required, so that when the notebook computer is placed on the platform and opened, the housing of the hinge 75 can lift the rear end of the notebook computer to increase the heat dissipation space and further improve the performance of the notebook computer. heat radiation.
