Abstract

A thinned hinge includes a rotating part and a torsion supply part. The rotating part includes a base and two movable members arranged on the base, the base includes two tracks for the movable members to displace along arc-shaped trajectories to generate opening and closing actions, and ends of the two movable members where extend outward from the two tracks are provided with driving members. The torsion supply part supplies torsion required by the rotating part, the torsion supply part includes a support, two rotating shafts arranged in parallel on the support, and an idle gear arranged between the two rotating shafts, the two rotating shafts are provided with connecting pieces assembled with the driving members to enable the torsion supply part and the rotating part to simultaneously act and gears engaged with the idle gear, and the gears and the idle gear are crossed helical gear structures.

Claims (11)

1. A thinned hinge, comprising:

a rotating part, comprising a base and two movable members arranged on the base, wherein the base forms with two tracks allowing the two movable members to displace along arc-shaped trajectories, the two movable members generate opening and closing actions during displacing along the arc-shaped trajectories, and one end of each of the two movable members where extends outward from one of the two tracks is provided with a driving member; and

a torsion supply part, supplying torsion required when the rotating part is implemented, wherein the torsion supply part comprises a support, two rotating shafts arranged in parallel on the support, and an idle gear arranged between the two rotating shafts, each of the two rotating shafts is provided with a connecting piece assembled with one of the two driving members to enable the torsion supply part and the rotating part to simultaneously act and a gear engaged with the idle gear, and the two gears and the idle gear are crossed helical gear structures.

2. The thinned hinge of claim 1 , wherein the torsion supply part comprises two torsion spring sets respectively arranged at one end of each of the two rotating shafts.

3. The thinned hinge of claim 2 , wherein the torsion supply part comprises at least one auxiliary plate to provide the two rotating shafts for passing through so as to stabilize the two rotating shafts for rotation together with the support.

4. The thinned hinge of claim 1 , wherein the idle gear is provided with a positioning hole, the support is provided with a first plate and a second plate perpendicular to the first plate and provided for arranging the idle gear, the first plate is provided with two shaft mounting holes allowing the two rotating shafts to penetrate, and the second plate is provided with an idle gear fixing hole communicating with the positioning hole to arrange a fixing piece when the idle gear is arranged on the second plate.

5. The thinned hinge of claim 4 , wherein the support is assembled with the base.

6. The thinned hinge of claim 5 , wherein the support is provided with a first assembling block arranged on the second plate, and the base is provided with a second assembling block arranged at one side of the base and capable of realizing assembly with the first assembling block.

7. The thinned hinge of claim 1 , wherein an arc-shaped rib is arranged in two inner walls of each of the two tracks, and an arc-shaped groove arranged in two side walls of each of the two movable members is provided for disposal of the arc-shaped rib therein.

8. The thinned hinge of claim 7 , wherein each of the two tracks is provided with an opening, and two openings of the two tracks are located at two sides of the base.

9. The thinned hinge of claim 7 , wherein the driving member is formed with a sliding rail part to provide for disposal of one end of the connecting piece therein, and the connecting piece is capable of performing a reciprocating slip action relative to the sliding rail parts.
