2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a display panel such as a laptop personal computer or a word processor is usually stored in a closed state in a main body having a keyboard and the like, and is used in an open state from the main body. At the time of use, characters such as lights and reflections on the screen of the display panel may be difficult to see due to reflection of light on the screen of the display panel depending on conditions such as a use state and a use place. The position can be fixed at an arbitrary angle with respect to the main body.

A shaft lock device for fixing the position of the display panel at an arbitrary angle with respect to the main body includes, for example, the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-13597. The shaft lock device includes a movable shaft, a fixed shaft having the same diameter as the movable shaft and provided on both sides of the movable shaft, and a coil spring which is extrapolated in close contact with the movable shaft and the fixed shaft. When the movable shaft rotates to one side, the coil spring of the part extrapolated in close contact with one fixed shaft is reduced in diameter and generates a lock torque,
The coil spring in the portion extrapolated in close contact with the other fixed shaft expands in diameter to generate slip torque, and the sum of the lock torque and the slip torque acts on the movable shaft to position the display panel at an arbitrary angle. It is fixed.

However, in the shaft lock device having such a structure, since the position of the display panel is fixed at an arbitrary angle by the force of the coil spring, the coil spring must secure a certain diameter. Therefore, there is a limit in reducing the size and weight of the shaft lock device. In addition, since the coil spring needs to be extrapolated in close contact with the movable shaft and the fixed shafts on both sides of the large-diameter portion at the center of the movable shaft, the large-diameter portion of the movable shaft and the fixing on both sides are fixed. There is a problem that the outer diameter of the shaft needs to be substantially the same and the manufacturing cost increases. The manufacturing cost increases as the shaft diameter decreases, which also makes it difficult to reduce the size and weight of the shaft lock device.

According to the shaft lock device of the present invention, the ring-shaped leaf spring inserted into the space formed by the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion of the outer shaft and at least a part of the inner shaft is provided. Since the inner and outer shafts are in surface contact with each other and are urged to be radially opposite to each other, when the outer and inner shafts rotate relative to each other, the relative rotation causes frictional resistance. A torque will be generated between the outer shaft and the inner shaft.
Therefore, if a torque exceeding the torque due to this frictional resistance is applied between the external shaft and the internal shaft, they rotate relative to each other, and a torque less than the torque due to the frictional resistance is applied between the external shaft and the internal shaft. However, they do not rotate relative to each other. In addition, since the leaf spring is in surface contact with the inner peripheral portion of the outer shaft and the outer peripheral portion of the inner shaft, a large frictional resistance can be secured. In addition, the leaf spring
The outer convex part makes surface contact with the inner peripheral part of the external shaft and
The surface is in contact with the outer periphery of the internal shaft at the concave portion that is convex in the direction.
Such convex portions and concave portions are provided alternately in the circumferential direction.
The inner shaft is less likely to move radially with respect to the outer shaft
With this structure, radial displacement of the internal shaft can be prevented.

Specifically, for example, a main body of a laptop device is provided on an outer shaft side, and a display panel is provided on an inner shaft side, and a torque required for opening and closing the display panel is adjusted by friction of a ring-shaped leaf spring. If the torque due to the resistance is larger than the torque due to the weight of the display panel and the torque due to the frictional resistance of the leaf spring, the position of the display panel can be fixed at an arbitrary angle.

In the shaft lock device 1 of this embodiment having such a structure, the main body Y provided on the outer shaft 2 side via the mounting hole 8 is connected to the inner shaft 3 side via the engaging portion 11. When an attempt is made to open and close the provided display panel Z, frictional resistance is generated between the leaf spring 4 whose rotation is restricted by the external shaft 2 and the internal shaft 3, and torque is generated therebetween. Here, when the torque required to open and close the display panel Z becomes larger than the torque due to the frictional resistance between the leaf spring 4 and the internal shaft 3, the display panel Z
Means that the inner shaft 3 is rotated relative to the outer shaft 2 to open and close. Also, if the opening and closing torque is removed to fix the display panel Z, only the torque for closing the display panel Z due to its own weight acts between the external shaft 2 and the internal shaft 3, and this torque is applied. Is smaller than the torque due to the frictional resistance between the leaf spring 4 whose rotation is restricted by the outer shaft 2 and the inner shaft 3, and is fixed at an arbitrary angle.

The number of the leaf springs 4 can be changed, and the diameter of the circle connecting the inner peripheral surfaces of the recesses 15 and the axis of the internal shaft 3 can be easily opened and closed and can be prevented from being closed by the weight of the display panel Z. The difference between the diameter of the portion 10 and the difference between the diameter of the circle connecting the outer peripheral surfaces of the respective convex portions 16 and the diameter of the inner peripheral portion 2a of the outer shaft 2 (so-called press-fitting allowance) can be changed as appropriate, It is possible to change the number of the units 16 or the like.

In this embodiment, the leaf spring 4 has the above-described configuration as an example.
There is no limitation to this as long as the outer shaft 2 and the inner shaft 3 are urged so as to radially oppose each other while being in surface contact with each other so as to apply a prescribed rotation torque to the outer shaft 2 and the inner shaft 3. Changes can be made.

As described above in detail, according to the shaft lock device of the present invention, the ring-shaped leaf spring provided in the space generates frictional resistance and generates torque between the outer shaft and the inner shaft. As a result, these shafts are locked, and furthermore, since the leaf spring is in surface contact with the inner peripheral portion of the outer shaft and the outer peripheral portion of the inner shaft, a large frictional resistance can be secured. Therefore, since a coil spring, a movable shaft having the same diameter, and a fixed shaft are not required, the size and weight can be reduced and the device can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, the leaf spring has a radially outward convex
Surface contact with the inner peripheral part and inside with a concave part that is convex inward in the radial direction
It is in surface contact with the outer periphery of the shaft.
Are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction, so that the inner shaft is
It is difficult to move in the radial direction with respect to the shaft.
Direction displacement can be prevented.
