Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is an isometric view of a slide of a first embodiment, and fig. 2 is an exploded view of the slide of fig. 1. The sliding apparatus of the present embodiment includes a movable member 100, a sliding rail assembly 200, and a stationary member 300. The slide rail assembly 200 includes a slide plate 210, a first torsion spring 220, a stopper 230, a spring, a slide carriage 250, and a connection member 260, wherein the slide plate 210 is slidably connected to the slide carriage 250, and the slide plate 210 is located above the slide carriage 250. The moving part 100 is located above the sliding plate 210, and the moving part 100 is fixedly connected with the sliding plate 210, and the fixed connection mode can be fixed by locking with a screw or riveting with a rivet. The fixing member 300 is located below the sliding base 250, and the fixing member 300 is connected to the sliding base 250.

In order to realize the sliding connection between the sliding plate 210 and the sliding base 250, a sliding groove 251 is respectively provided at the front end and the rear end of the sliding base 250, and the sliding groove 251 can be formed by an in-mold injection molding process. The front end and the rear end of the sliding plate 210 are respectively provided with a sliding edge 213, and the sliding edges 213 can be formed by punching. The runner 213 is inserted into the runner 251 and is slidable along the runner 251. Thereby, the slide plate 210 can slide in the left and right direction with respect to the slide base 250.

In another embodiment, the slide plate 210 may be provided with a slide groove 251, and the seat 250 may be provided with a slide edge 213, the slide edge 213 being inserted into the slide groove 251. At this time, the slide plate 210 can also slide in the left-right direction with respect to the slide base 250.

The slide plate 210 has two extreme positions relative to the slide base 250, namely a first position (see fig. 1) in which the moveable member 100 is in a retracted state and a second position (an extreme position in which the slide plate 210 slides to the left relative to the slide base 250), in which the moveable member 100 is in an extended state.

In order that the slide plate 210 may automatically slide to the first position or the second position when the slide plate 210 is in a position between the first position and the second position, the sliding device of the present embodiment is provided with a spring. When the slide plate 210 is forced between the first position and the second position, the spring is under compression, thereby imparting an elastic force to the slide plate 210 toward the first position or the second position. When the external force disappears, the sliding plate 210 reaches the first position or the second position under the action of the spring, and at the moment, the deformation of the spring is recovered, and the elastic force disappears. After the sliding plate 210 oscillates back and forth at the first position or the second position, the kinetic energy is consumed, and finally, the sliding plate stays at the first position or the second position.

In this embodiment, the spring is a flat wire spring 240, two ends of the flat wire spring 240 are bent to form a riveting ring, the sliding base 250 is provided with a first riveting hole, and the sliding plate 210 is provided with a second riveting hole. After a rivet is sequentially inserted through a rivet ring and the first rivet hole, one end of the flat wire spring 240 is riveted to the slider 250. Another rivet passes through the rivet ring and the second rivet hole in sequence, and then the other end of the flat wire spring 240 is riveted to the slide plate 210. After riveting, the two ends of the flat wire spring 240 can rotate relative to the sliding seat 250 and the sliding plate 210 respectively, so that the direction of the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 can be changed from left to right, or from right to left, and the direction of the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 depends on the position of the sliding plate 210.

When the slide plate 210 is between the first position and the second position, the flat wire spring 240 is compressed, and the flat wire spring 240 imparts an elastic force to the slide plate 210. The slide plate 210 is positioned between the first position and the second position, and is next pushed in which direction by the flat wire spring 240, depending on the direction of the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240. Roughly, when the slide plate 210 is closer to the first position, the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 is rightward, and the flat wire spring 240 pushes the slide plate 210 to the first position, and when the slide plate 210 is closer to the second position, the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 is leftward, and the flat wire spring 240 pushes the slide plate 210 to the second position.

In another embodiment, the spring may also be a second torsion spring, one end of which is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 210 by a rivet, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the slider 250 by a rivet, and which provides an elastic force similar to that of the flat wire spring 240.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in order that the slider 250 can buffer and limit the slider 210 when the slider 210 moves in a first direction (the first direction is a right direction, that is, when the slider 210 slides to a first position), a first torsion spring 220 and a stopper 230 are provided. The sliding plate 210 is provided with a third through hole 212 which penetrates through the sliding plate from top to bottom, a third rotating shaft 211 is arranged in the third through hole 212 (the sliding plate 210 is provided with two front and back lugs which are respectively provided with a sixth through hole, the third rotating shaft 211 penetrates through the sixth through hole, the front end and the rear end of the third rotating shaft 211 are respectively clamped with a clamp spring, so that the third rotating shaft is connected to the sliding plate 210), and the first torsion spring 220 is sleeved on the third rotating shaft 211. The stopper 230 includes a first arm and a second arm, the first arm and the second arm are integrally disposed, a fourth through hole is disposed between the first arm and the second arm, and the third shaft 211 is disposed in the fourth through hole in a penetrating manner. The upper end of the first torsion spring 220 abuts against the sliding plate 210, and the lower end of the first torsion spring 220 is bent forward and abuts against the second arm of the stopper 230. Thus, the lower end of the first torsion spring 220 gives the second arm of the stopper 230 a force to the right.

When the sliding plate 210 slides to the first position, the left end of the sliding plate 210 is gradually close to the left end of the sliding base 250, and the second arm of the stopper 230 is also gradually close to the left end of the sliding base 250 until contacting with the left end of the sliding base 250. After the second arm of the stopper 230 contacts the left end of the sliding base 250, the stopper 230 overcomes the acting force of the first torsion spring 220 and rotates clockwise (refer to fig. 2, viewed from the front to the back), the first torsion spring 220 gradually opens, and the kinetic energy of the sliding plate 210 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the first torsion spring 220 to play a role in buffering. Then, the elastic potential energy of the first torsion spring 220 is converted into the kinetic energy of the sliding plate 210 (at this time, the sliding plate 210 moves leftwards), and finally, the kinetic energy of the sliding plate 210 is completely converted into the thermal energy (the sliding plate 210 and the sliding base 250 do work through friction), and the sliding plate 210 stops moving.

In addition, since the slider 100 is fixed on the upper surface of the sliding plate 210, when the stopper 230 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the first torsion spring 220 (see fig. 2, viewed from the front to the rear), the second arm of the stopper 230 passes through the third through hole 212 and abuts against the slider 100. At this time, the stopper 230 is no longer rotated in the counterclockwise direction (as viewed from the front to the rear with reference to fig. 2), thereby preventing the first torsion spring 220 from being disengaged from the second arm of the stopper 230.

In another embodiment, the first torsion spring 220 may be eliminated, and the stopper 230 is in interference fit with the third rotating shaft 211, that is, the stopper 230 is fixedly connected with the sliding plate 210, and the other configurations are the same as the sliding device of the first embodiment. At this time, the stopper 230 has only a limiting function.

Referring to fig. 2, 4 to 7, fig. 4 is an isometric view of the link 260 of fig. 1, fig. 5 is a front view of the slide apparatus of fig. 1, fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along a-a of fig. 5, and fig. 7 is an enlarged schematic view of the region i of fig. 6. In order to prevent the mover 100 from scratching the stationary member 300 during the sliding movement relative to the stationary member 300 and, at the same time, to maintain the compactness of the structure of the sliding apparatus, a connection member 260 is provided. The right end of the connecting piece 260 is rotatably connected with the fixed piece 300, and the rotating axes of the connecting piece 260 and the fixed piece 300 are a first axis; the left end of the connecting member 260 is rotatably connected with the sliding seat 250, and the rotating axes of the connecting member 260 and the sliding seat 250 are second axes. The first axis and the second axis are parallel and arranged at intervals.

Therefore, when the movable piece 100 needs to slide relative to the fixed piece 300, the sliding seat 250 is far away from the fixed piece 300, and the motion track of the sliding seat 250 relative to the fixed piece 300 is a semicircular arc; after the sliding base 250 is away from the stationary member 300, the movable member 100 is also away from the stationary member 300, and at this time, the movable member 100 is slid relative to the stationary member 300, and a gap exists between the movable member 100 and the stationary member 300, so that the stationary member 300 is not easily scratched. When the movable element 100 does not need to slide relative to the fixed element 300, the sliding base 250 is close to the fixed element 300, and at this time, the movement track of the sliding base 250 relative to the fixed element 300 is also a semicircular arc, and when the sliding base 250 is attached to the fixed element 300, the movable element 100 is also attached to the fixed element 300, so that the whole structure is compact, and the thickness of the sliding device is small.

Specifically, the connecting member 260 has a first through hole 261 and a second through hole 262 arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction, and the second through hole 262 is located on the left side of the first through hole 261. The fixing member 300 is provided with a first rotating shaft 320 (see fig. 7), the first rotating shaft 320 is inserted into the first through hole 261, and the first rotating shaft 320 is in clearance fit with the first through hole 261, so that the connecting member 260 is rotatably connected with the fixing member 300, wherein an axis of the first rotating shaft 320 (or an axis of the first through hole 261) is the first axis. The sliding base 250 is provided with a second rotating shaft 252, the second rotating shaft 252 is disposed in the second through hole 262 in a penetrating manner, and the second rotating shaft 252 is in clearance fit with the second through hole 262, so that the connecting member 260 is rotatably connected with the sliding base 250, wherein an axis of the second rotating shaft 252 (or an axis of the second through hole 262) is the second axis.

In another embodiment, a fourth rotating shaft may be disposed at the right end of the connecting member 260, a fifth through hole is disposed on the fixing member 300, and the fourth rotating shaft is disposed in the fifth through hole, so that the connecting member 260 and the fixing member 300 can be rotatably connected. The link 260 is similar to the slider 250.

Referring to fig. 2, in order to reduce the thickness of the sliding apparatus, a first groove 310 is provided on the upper surface of the stationary member 300, the sliding base 250 is seated in the first groove 310, a second groove 110 is provided on the lower surface of the movable member 100, and the sliding plate 210 is seated in the second groove 110. Therefore, after the movable member 100, the sliding plate 210, the sliding base 250 and the fixed member 300 are stacked from top to bottom, a portion of the sliding plate 210 is located in the movable member 100, a portion of the sliding base 250 is located in the fixed member 300, and the overall thickness of the sliding device can be reduced.

The present invention also relates to an electronic device including the sliding apparatus, wherein a portion of the electronic device is fixed on the movable member 100, and another portion of the electronic device is fixed on the fixed member 300. Therefore, the two parts of the electronic device can slide relatively, and the fixing piece 300 is not easy to scratch, so that the user experience is improved, and the competitiveness of the electronic product is improved. In the specific application, the electronic device may be a slide phone, a slide watch, or a slide camera, wherein the parts of the electronic device that need to slide, such as a display screen of the slide phone, a dial of the slide watch, or a lens cover of the slide camera, are fixedly connected to the moving part, and the other parts are fixedly connected to the fixed part, so that the display screen of the slide phone is slidable, the dial of the slide phone is slidable, and the lens cover of the slide camera is used for protecting the lens when the lens is not used.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
