In order to better understand the technical solutions, the technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments and examples of the present invention are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not limitations of the technical solutions of the present invention, and the technical features in the embodiments and examples of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a connecting device, including:
a first rotating shaft 10 provided with a first accommodating space 100;
a second rotating shaft 20 including a rotating structure 200, at least a portion of the rotating structure 200 being removably received in the first receiving space 100;
when the at least one portion is accommodated in the first accommodating space 100, the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 are connected together, and the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 can rotate relatively.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to maintain the fixed state of the connection device, on the one hand, the first rotating shaft 10 includes: a first fixing body 101, which fixes the first rotating shaft 10 on the first main body of the electronic device through the first fixing body 101; the first rotating shaft 102 is connected to one end of the first fixing body 101, and the first accommodating space 100 is disposed on the first rotating shaft 102, wherein the first rotating shaft 102 and the first fixing body 101 can rotate relatively. The specific structure of the first rotating shaft 10 is shown in fig. 2. On the other hand, the second rotating shaft 20 includes: a second fixing body 201, which fixes the second rotating shaft 20 on the second main body of the electronic device through the second fixing body 201; a rotating shaft bracket 202 disposed at a first position of the second fixed body 201 and fixedly connected to the second fixed body 201; the second rotating shaft body 203 comprises a rotating structure 200 sleeved outside the rotating shaft bracket 202 and a magnetic structure 2030 sleeved outside the rotating structure 200 and fixedly connected with the rotating structure 200; the second rotating shaft body 203 and the rotating shaft bracket 202 can realize relative rotation. The specific structure of the second rotating shaft 20 is shown in fig. 3. In a specific implementation process, the rotating structure 200 may specifically be a rotating shaft sleeve, and when the rotating shaft bracket 202 is a cylindrical structure, the cylindrical structure can be inserted inside the rotating shaft sleeve. In addition, since the rotating shaft sleeve is fixedly connected with the magnetic structure 2030 and the rotating shaft bracket 202 is fixedly connected with the second fixing body 201, when the rotating shaft sleeve rotates relative to the second fixing body 201 and the rotating shaft sleeve is accommodated in the first accommodating space 100, the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 will rotate relative to each other.
In the embodiment of the present application, since the first rotating shaft 10 is fixed to the first main body of the electronic device and the second rotating shaft 20 is fixed to the second main body of the electronic device, the first rotating shaft body 102 and the second rotating shaft body 203 are connected through the first accommodating space 100 on the first rotating shaft 10 and the rotating structure 200 on the second rotating shaft 20. When an external force acts on and rotates the first body of the electronic device, the first rotating shaft 10 will also rotate, and at this time, a relative rotation will occur between the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20. In addition, in the implementation process, when an external force acts on the second body of the electronic device to rotate the second body, the second rotating shaft 20 will also rotate, and at this time, the second rotating shaft 20 and the first rotating shaft 10 will rotate relatively.
In a specific implementation, the first body and the second body may be two structural parts of an electronic device. The two structural parts may be parts that together implement a certain function of the electronic device. For example, the handset and the main body of the telephone set can jointly realize the functions of making and receiving calls.
The first body and the second body may also be portions that respectively implement different functions of the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device is embodied as a mobile phone having dual display screens, the first body may be one of the display screens, and the second body may be the other display screen. For another example, when the electronic device is a notebook computer, the first main body may be a display screen, and the second main body may be a keyboard.
The first body and the second body may also be parts of a set of electronic systems, each having an independent function. For example, when the electronic device is specifically an intelligent environment control system, the first subject may be an electronic thermometer disposed in a preset environment, and the second subject may be a main control device of the intelligent environment control system.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to fix the first rotating shaft 10 to the first main body, at least one first fixing structure is disposed on the first fixing body 101, and the first rotating shaft 10 is fixed to the first main body through the fixing engagement between the at least one fixing structure and at least one second fixing structure disposed on the first main body.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to fix the second rotating shaft 20 on the second main body, at least one third fixing structure is disposed on the second fixing body 201, and the second rotating shaft 20 is fixed on the second main body through the fixing cooperation between the at least one third fixing structure and at least one fourth fixing structure disposed on the second main body.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to fix the first rotating shaft 10 to the first main body, the following two fixing methods can be adopted in the specific implementation process, but not limited to the following two fixing methods.
First fixing mode
The first fixing mode is specifically as follows: when the at least one first fixing structure is at least one first fixing column, the at least one second fixing structure is at least one first fixing hole, wherein the at least one first fixing column can be accommodated in the at least one fixing hole at a position corresponding to the at least one first fixing column.
Second fixing mode
The second fixing mode is specifically as follows: when the at least one first fixing structure is specifically at least one first fixing hole, the at least one second fixing structure is specifically at least one fixing column, wherein the at least one first fixing column is capable of being accommodated in the at least one fixing hole at a position corresponding to the at least one first fixing column.
In a specific implementation process, the first rotating shaft 10 may be welded or riveted with the first body, and the second rotating shaft 20 may be welded or riveted with the second body. Of course, those skilled in the art may design different fixing manners according to specific needs to fixedly connect the main body and the rotating shaft, which is not described herein again.
In the implementation, in order to fix the second rotating shaft 20 to the second body, the same fixing principle that the first rotating shaft 10 is fixed to the first body is used. When the at least one third fixing structure is specifically at least one second fixing hole, the at least one fourth fixing structure is specifically at least one second fixing column; or, when the at least one third fixing structure is specifically at least one second fixing column, the at least one fourth fixing structure is specifically at least one second fixing hole, wherein the at least one second fixing column can be accommodated in the second fixing hole. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, other fixing manners may also be adopted to fix the second rotating shaft 20 on the second main body, and details are not repeated here.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first accommodating space 100 is specifically a cylindrical space, and when the first rotating shaft 102 and the first main body are in the closed state, the physical button is disposed in the cylindrical space, wherein the physical button is fixedly disposed at the second position of the first surface of the first main body. In a specific implementation process, when the first accommodating space 100 is a cylindrical space, the cross section of the physical button is circular, and a first area size corresponding to the circular area is smaller than or equal to a second area size corresponding to the top of the cylindrical space.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to realize a multi-molding design of the first body by the first rotating shaft 10, the first rotating shaft body 102 and the first body have a locking state and an unlocking state. Specifically, when the physical button is pressed in the first direction by the operating body while the first rotor body 102 and the first body are in the closed state, the current state between the first rotor body 102 and the first body is adjusted from the locked state to the unlocked state so that the first rotor body 102 can rotate relative to the first body by the first external force. For a specific example, as shown in fig. 4, the physical button is connected to a locking structure, and the unlocking is achieved by pressing the physical button, such that one end (e.g. a lock catch) of the locking structure is just locked in the latch when the first shaft body 102 and the first body are in the locked state. When the user manually performs a pressing operation with respect to the physical button on the first body, the displacement of the physical button in the vertical direction is s1, and at the same time, the locking structure will be moved leftward in the horizontal direction by the displacement s 2. At this time, one end of the locking structure will be disengaged from the latch, so that the first shaft 102 and the first body are adjusted from the original locking state to the unlocking state. That is, the vertical movement of the physical button causes one end of the locking structure, such as a shackle, to move horizontally to the left, thereby enabling the process of releasing the physical button for unlocking. Further, the first rotation shaft body 102 is rotatable relative to the first body by a first external force. In addition, in the implementation process, a person skilled in the art may also use other types of locking structures to achieve the locking and unlocking between the first shaft body 102 and the first main body, which is not illustrated herein.
In this embodiment, when the first spindle body 102 and the first main body are in the unlocking state, the first spindle body 102 is rotated, so that the current included angle between the first spindle body 102 and the first main body is a first included angle of a non-zero degree, and the first main body is adjusted to a second working mode corresponding to the first included angle by the first working mode in the locking state. As a specific example, when the first body is a body structure including a touch display screen, and the first rotating shaft 102 and the first body are in the locked state, the current working mode of the touch display screen is a reading mode in a flat state, as shown in fig. 5 a. When the first rotating shaft body 102 and the first main body are in the unlocked state, the first rotating shaft body 102 is rotated, so that the current included angle between the first rotating shaft body 102 and the touch display screen is 180 °, and at this time, the working mode corresponding to the touch display screen is the suspension mode, as shown in fig. 5 b.
In this embodiment, when the first body is in the second operating mode, one end of the rotating structure is accommodated in the cylindrical space under the action of a second external force, so that the first body and the second body are in a connected state. That is, when the current working mode of the first body is a working mode corresponding to a non-zero included angle between the first rotation shaft 102 and the first body, a user can manually insert one end of the rotation structure 200 into the cylindrical space according to the user's needs, so that the first body is connected with the second body. In a specific implementation process, in order to ensure stability of the connection state between the first body and the second body, a locking structure is further disposed inside the first shaft body 102, once one end of the rotating structure 200 is inserted into the cylindrical space, the rotating structure 200 and the first shaft body 102 are in a locked state, and at this time, the two bodies of the electronic device are in a dual-body mode. In addition, in the implementation process, in order to realize the multi-mode design between the two bodies of the electronic device, when the two bodies are in the two-body mode in the connected state, the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 may be adjusted from the state of being engaged together to the separated state, specifically, an expansion structure is disposed at one end of the first rotating shaft 102 including the first accommodating space 100, the expansion structure is accommodated in the first rotating shaft 102 in the locked state, when the expansion structure is pulled out from the first rotating shaft 102 by the user, the two rotating shafts are adjusted from the locked state to the unlocked state, the rotating structure 200 is pulled out from the first accommodating space 100 to separate the two rotating shafts, and the structural change of the first rotating shaft 10 in the specific unlocking process is as shown in fig. 6. Furthermore, the first main body and the second main body are in a separated state, so that the electronic equipment is adjusted from a double-main-body mode to two single-main-body modes, and flexible switching among multiple working modes of the electronic equipment is realized. Of course, those skilled in the art may design other locking and unlocking structures according to actual needs, so as to achieve the connection and the separation between the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20, which is not illustrated herein.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to realize the blind insertion between the rotating structure 200 and the first accommodating space 100. The first rotation shaft body 102 is made of a metal material or a magnetic material, and when the first body is in the second operation mode and the first rotation shaft body 102 is in a magnetic connection range of the magnetic structure 2030, one end of the rotation structure 200 is accommodated in the cylindrical space under a magnetic attraction force of the magnetic structure 2030, so that the first body and the second body are in a connection state. For example, the metal material may be iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof. The magnetic material can be samarium cobalt alloy material, neodymium iron boron material, and the like. Of course, those skilled in the art can select the material for preparing the first shaft body 102 according to the actual requirement, so that the magnetic structure 2030 can effectively attract the first shaft body 102, which is not illustrated herein.
In the specific implementation process, when the first main body is in the second working mode when the first main body is located at the non-zero first included angle between the first rotation axis body 102 and the first main body, under the action of the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic structure 2030, one end of the rotation structure 200 can be automatically accommodated in the cylindrical space, so that the first main body and the second main body are in a connected state. As a specific example, when the first shaft body 102 is made of an iron material, when a user holds the first body and the second body close to each other, once the first shaft body is within the magnetic attraction range of the magnet unit on the second body, one end of the rotating structure 200 can be accommodated in the cylindrical space of the first shaft body 102. In the specific implementation process, in order to ensure that a better blind insertion effect is achieved between the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20, and further a better user experience is brought to a user, the cross section of the rotating shaft bracket 202 and the circular interface matched with the cross section of the cylindrical space are provided, and in addition, the upper surface of the rotating shaft bracket 202 is higher than the upper surface of the magnetic structure 2030, so that the firmness of connection between the first rotating shaft 102 and the rotating structure 200 is ensured.
In a specific implementation process, when the electronic device controls the first main body and the second main body to be in a connected state through the connecting device, a current working mode of the electronic device is a notebook mode. For example, the two main devices, which are composed of the display side and the system side, are in the notebook mode.
In this embodiment of the application, since the first rotating shaft 102 of the first rotating shaft 10 can open and close relative to the first main body, when the first main body and the second main body are in the connected state, the connecting device can control the first main body to rotate relative to the second main body along the second direction, so that the current included angle between the first main body and the second main body is changed, and further the electronic device is adjusted from the current third operating mode to the fourth operating mode; for example, a user manually controls the opening and closing of the two main bodies of the notebook computer, and adjusts the included angle between the two main bodies from a working mode corresponding to 90 degrees to a working mode corresponding to 270 degrees. As shown in fig. 7a, the notebook computer has two corresponding working modes, and the connection condition between the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 in the working modes. In addition, in the implementation process, since the first rotating shaft 10 is connected with the rotating structure 200, the rotating structure 200 can rotate relative to the second fixed body 201, so that the multi-mode design of the electronic device can be ensured. As a specific example, when the keyboard body of the notebook computer is placed on a horizontal plane, and the user manually controls the display screen body to rotate clockwise along the horizontal plane, due to the rotation property of the second rotating shaft 20, the display screen body will rotate clockwise relative to the keyboard body, so that the electronic device is adjusted from the current fifth operating mode to the sixth operating mode. Fig. 7b shows the operation mode before the display main body is rotated compared to the keyboard main body, and the connection state between the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 before the rotation. Fig. 7c shows the corresponding operation mode after the display main body is rotated compared to the keyboard main body, and the connection state between the first rotating shaft 10 and the second rotating shaft 20 after the rotation.
