Hinge device
A hinge device, including a base, an arc-shaped mounting member, and two torque components. The base is formed with a mounting space and two first tracks located on two opposite sides of the mounting space. The arc-shaped mounting member is provided with an arc-shaped portion positioned in the mounting space and moves along the two first tracks, and a mounting portion connects to the arc-shaped portion. The arc-shaped portion defines a first virtual axis, while the two opposing sides of the mounting portion are formed with two second tracks. Each of the two torque components includes a shaft located on one side of the base, a torque providing component mounted on the shaft, and a linkage rod. The linkage rod is provided with a second virtual axis different from a position of the first virtual axis.
1 . A hinge device, comprising:
a base, formed with a mounting space and two first tracks located respectively on two opposite sides of the mounting space;
an arc-shaped mounting member, comprising an arc-shaped portion positioned in the mounting space and moved along the two first tracks, and a mounting portion connected to the arc-shaped portion, wherein a first virtual axis is defined by the arc-shaped portion, and two second tracks are respectively formed on two opposite sides of the mounting portion; and
two torque components, each comprising a shaft located on one side of the base, a torque providing component mounted on the shaft, and a linkage rod, wherein the linkage rod is provided with a second virtual axis different from a position of the first virtual axis, and one end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to the shaft and in contact with the torque providing component, another end of the linkage rod is slidably connected to one of the two second tracks.
2 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the linkage rod and the torque providing component is formed with at least one protruding portion.
3 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least one of the linkage rod and the torque providing component is formed with at least one recessed portion.
4 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the base is provided with a plurality of stopping blocks positioned within the two first tracks, respectively, to determine a movement range of the arc-shaped mounting member.
5 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the arc-shaped mounting member includes two auxiliary tracks formed respectively on opposite sides thereof facing the base and concentrically arranged with the two first tracks, and the base includes a plurality of auxiliary protrusions located respectively within the two auxiliary tracks and along the two first tracks.
6 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the base includes two halves with structurally corresponding, and the mounting space is formed by the two halves.
7 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the base includes an assembly plate connecting to the two halves.
8 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the assembly plate is provided with a baffle extending toward the arc-shaped mounting member and limiting a movement range of the arc-shaped mounting member.
9 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the assembly plate is formed with at least one positioning notch, and at least one of the two halves includes at least one assembly protrusion located within the at least one positioning notch.
10 . The hinge device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the assembly plate is formed with at least one positioning notch, and at least one of the two halves includes at least one assembly protrusion located within the at least one positioning notch.
