An innovative hinge device and an electronic device using the hinge device are provided.

好適と考える本発明の実施形態(発明をどのように実施するか)を、図面に基づいて本発明の作用を示して簡単に説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention that are considered suitable (how to carry out the invention) will be briefly described with reference to the drawings, illustrating the operation of the present invention.

第一部材1と第二部材2との開閉回動に際して、径大軸部7に対する被嵌部8の接触摩擦抵抗により、この径大軸部7と被嵌部8との相対回動に際して緩衝作用が生じる。よって、第一部材1と第二部材2とは緩衝作用を伴った回動が行われる。   When the first member 1 and the second member 2 are opened and closed and rotated, the frictional resistance of the fitted portion 8 against the large-diameter shaft portion 7 is used to buffer the relative rotation between the large-diameter shaft portion 7 and the fitted portion 8. An effect occurs. Therefore, the first member 1 and the second member 2 are rotated with a buffering action.

この緩衝作用は、ヒンジ構造を構成する軸部4の一部を緩衝機能を発揮する極めて効率の良い構成であるから、部品点数を可及的に減らすことができ、コスト安にして量産性に秀れることになり、軽量化も確実に達成されることになる。   This buffering action is an extremely efficient configuration that exerts a buffering function on a part of the shaft portion 4 that constitutes the hinge structure, so that the number of parts can be reduced as much as possible, the cost is reduced, and mass productivity is achieved. It will excel and light weight will be achieved reliably.

また、この緩衝構造は、軸部4に設けられる径大軸部7を第二部材2と共に回動する被嵌体9に設けた被嵌部8に接触させて緩衝作用が生じるように構成されているから、被嵌部8と接触する部位を径大とすることで接触面積が広くなり、それだけ良好な緩衝作用が生じることになる。   In addition, this buffer structure is configured such that a buffering action is generated by bringing the large-diameter shaft portion 7 provided in the shaft portion 4 into contact with the fitted portion 8 provided on the fitted body 9 that rotates together with the second member 2. Therefore, by increasing the diameter of the portion that comes into contact with the fitted portion 8, the contact area is widened, and a good buffering effect is generated accordingly.

本発明の具体的な実施例1について図面に基づいて説明する。   A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The shaft portion 4 supported by the bearing portion 10 provided on the second attachment body 6 is provided on the first attachment body 3 that rotates together with the first member 1, and is engaged with the cam portion 11 provided on the first attachment body 3. A cam engaging portion 12 is provided on the second attachment body 6 so that the first member 1 and the second member 2 are rotationally locked when the cam portion 11 and the cam engaging portion 12 are engaged. An engagement biasing mechanism 13 configured to slidably move on the shaft portion 4 so as to move the cam engagement portion 12 in the disengagement direction and bias the cam engagement portion 12 in the engagement direction. As the first member 1 and the second member 2 rotate relative to each other, the cam portion 11 and the cam engagement portion 12 are moved by the engagement bias of the engagement bias mechanism 13.

It is inserted into the connecting recess 2a and fixed in a non-rotating state.

この第二取付体6は、後述するカム係合部12をスライド移動自在に収納し得る収納構造体であり、金属製の板材を成形して成り、その一端部には中央に孔10aを有する閉塞部6aが設けられており、この孔10aは後述するカム係合部12の孔10bとともに軸部4を軸受する軸受部10として機能する。   The second mounting body 6 is a housing structure that can slidably store a cam engaging portion 12 to be described later, and is formed by molding a metal plate, and has a hole 10a in the center at one end thereof.

In addition, as the to-be-inserted body 9, a thing with a cross-sectional C shape, a coil spring shape, etc. may be sufficient, and if it is the structure which achieves the press-fit state with the large diameter shaft part 7, it can employ | adopt suitably.

この径大軸部7の外周面と被嵌体9の内面(被嵌部8)との間には適度な粘性を有したグリスが配されており、よって、この径大軸部7に対する被嵌部8の接触摩擦抵抗により前記径大軸部7と被嵌部8との相対回動に際して緩衝作用が生じることになる。   Between the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter shaft portion 7 and the inner surface of the fitted body 9 (the fitted portion 8), grease having an appropriate viscosity is disposed. The contact frictional resistance of the fitting portion 8 causes a buffering action when the large-diameter shaft portion 7 and the fitted portion 8 are rotated relative to each other.

被嵌体9は、前述した第二取付体6と同様、重合部1と相対回動する本体部2に回り止め状態に設けられている。   Similar to the second attachment body 6 described above, the fitted body 9 is provided in a non-rotating state on the main body portion 2 that rotates relative to the overlapping portion 1.

また、被嵌体9は、その一端部に中央に孔9a’を有する閉塞部9aが設けられており、この閉塞部9aは第二取付体6の閉塞部6aと重合状態に配されることになり、ワッシャーとしての機能を発揮することになる。   Moreover, the to-be-fitted body 9 is provided with the obstruction | occlusion part 9a which has the hole 9a 'in the center in the one end part, and this obstruction | occlusion part 9a is distribute | arranged with the obstruction | occlusion part 6a of the 2nd attachment body 6 in a superposition | polymerization state.

本実施例は上述のように構成したから、カム部11とカム係合部12とで生じる相対回動付勢力が本体部2に対する重合部1の重合状態を保持する閉じ力として機能するとともに、本体部2に対する重合部1の全開状態を保持する開き力として機能するから、この種のヒンジ装置Hとして本来求められるその機能を確実に発揮し、しかも、この本体部2に対する重合部1の開閉回動に際して緩衝作用が生じるように構成されているから、この開閉回動に際してゆったりとした作動が得られることになり、高級感を演出することができる。   Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the relative rotational biasing force generated by the cam portion 11 and the cam engagement portion 12 functions as a closing force for maintaining the overlapping state of the overlapping portion 1 with respect to the main body portion 2. Since it functions as an opening force for maintaining the fully open state of the overlapping portion 1 with respect to the main body portion 2, the function that is originally required for this type of hinge device H is reliably exhibited, and the opening and closing of the overlapping portion 1 with respect to the main body portion 2 is performed. Since a buffering action is generated at the time of rotation, a relaxed operation can be obtained at the time of opening and closing, and a high-class feeling can be produced.

また、本実施例は、この緩衝作用は、ヒンジ構造を構成する軸部4の一部を緩衝機能を発揮する極めて効率の良い構成であるから、部品点数を可及的に減らすことができ、コスト安にして量産性に秀れることになり、軽量化も確実に達成されることになる。   Further, in this embodiment, since this buffering action is a highly efficient configuration that exhibits a buffering function for a part of the shaft portion 4 constituting the hinge structure, the number of parts can be reduced as much as possible. The cost will be low and the mass production will be excellent, and the weight reduction will be achieved reliably.

また、本実施例は、この緩衝構造は、軸部4に設けられる径大軸部7を第二部材2と共に回動する被嵌体9に設けた被嵌部8に接触させて緩衝作用が生じるように構成されているから、被嵌部8と接触する部位を径大とすることで接触面積が広くなり、それだけ良好な緩衝作用が生じることになる。   Further, in this embodiment, this buffering structure has a buffering effect by bringing the large-diameter shaft portion 7 provided on the shaft portion 4 into contact with the fitted portion 8 provided on the fitted body 9 that rotates together with the second member 2. Since it is comprised so that it may arise, a contact area will become wide by making the site | part which contacts the to-be-fitted part 8 into large diameter, and the buffering effect favorable so much will arise.
