Abstract

An electronic device is provided, including a first module, a second module, a hinge member, a first rotary member, a second rotary member, and a wire. The first module and the second module are hinged to the hinge member. The first rotary member and the second rotary member are connected to the hinge member and rotatable around a first axis and a second axis relative to the hinge member, respectively. The wire extends through the first rotary member and the second rotary member to electrically connect the first module and the second module.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first module;

a second module;

a hinge member hinged to the first module and the second module;

a first rotary member, movably connected to the hinge member and rotatable around a first axis relative to the hinge member, wherein the first rotary member is formed with a circular groove;

a second rotary member, movably connected to the hinge member and rotatable around a second axis relative to the hinge member, wherein the second axis is parallel to the first axis;

a third rotary member, connected to the first rotary member and rotatable around the first axis relative to the hinge member, wherein the third rotary member has sidewalls that are slidable in the circular groove; and

a wire extending through the first rotary member and the second rotary member to electrically connect the first module and the second module, wherein the wire is restricted between the first rotary member and the third rotary member.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first rotary member has two arc-shaped first sidewalls and two first recesses, the first recesses are located between the first sidewalls, and the wire extends through the first recesses.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the second rotary member has two arc-shaped second sidewalls and two second recesses, the second recesses are located between the second sidewalls, and the wire extends through the first recesses and the second recesses.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a locking member, wherein the first module has a case and a side frame that are connected together, and the third rotary member is formed with a hole, wherein the locking member extends through the side frame and into the hole.

5. An electronic device, comprising:

a first module;

a second module;

a hinge member hinged to the first module and the second module;

a first rotary member, movably connected to the hinge member and rotatable around a first axis relative to the hinge member;

a second rotary member, movably connected to the hinge member and rotatable around a second axis relative to the hinge member, wherein the second axis is parallel to the first axis, wherein the second rotary member is formed with a circular groove;

a third rotary member, connected to the first rotary member and rotatable around the first axis relative to the hinge member;

a fourth rotary member, connected to the second rotary member and rotatable around the second axis relative to the hinge member, wherein the fourth rotary member has sidewalls that are slidable in the circular groove; and

a wire extending through the first rotary member and the second rotary member to electrically connect the first module and the second module, wherein the wire is restricted between the first rotary member and the third rotary member, and the wire is restricted between the second rotary member and the fourth rotary member.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising a locking member, wherein the second module has a case and a side frame that are connected together, and the fourth rotary member is formed with a hole, wherein the locking member extends through the side frame and into the hole.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hinge member is formed with two axial bores, and the first rotary member and the second rotary member are respectively formed with a first protrusion and a second protrusion, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are hinged within the axial bores.
