The second end 1652 of the first elastic member 165 has a hook 1653 which is latched to the protrusion I633 of the baffle 1632 of the connecting member 163 (see FIG. 3) when the mobile phone is closed. Therefore, the first end 1651 of the first elastic element ία is locked to the first body 161, and the second end 1652 is engaged with the protrusion 1632 of the connecting member 163. The protruding portion I633 is mainly (when the folding electronic device _, therefore - The length of the elastic member 165 is the second end of the elastic member 165 to be engaged with the connecting member 163. Similarly, the second elastic member 16 is similar to =T65' and can also be combined in the same manner: two f162. The first elastic member. 1« and the second elastic member 166 can be placed in the same zigzag storage, or the village is arranged to have a different zigzag length / 4, in addition, the folding electronic device of the present invention has: the covering member 18' for covering: : Covering the first-body is called FIG. 2B) and the second one is ^ ^ This can be a substantially visually difficult structure 16 H such as two elastic elements 166. Referring to FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2, when the folding of the invention 200949497 1 is to be assembled, the 'cutting body 161 and the second body 162 are on the two protrusions 1633 of the 彳I63 baffle 1632'. Then, the extension is: to the CSS on the connecting member 163, the rotating member (6) will sing; the r-furnace and the screw hole B on the second body 162, by the first tired one, the clamping member 164 is locked The connecting member 163 is connected to the first body 161 and the 1 screw hole β. Thus, the first body (6) and the second body ❹ ❹ the first-to-the-rotation element 164 are integrally connected and the body 162 can be freely folded over the connector 163. Installed. The group of elastic members 165 carrying the first elastic member 165 and the second elastic member 166 are first placed on the first body, and are first aligned with the screw holes on the first body 161 by the screw holes near the body 161. The '161, j-locking' causes the first elastic member 165 to be in the direction of the first body connecting the terminal 165 from the connector 163 and attached to the side of the carrier 1632 which is also m 63. Similarly, the second elastic member 166 is fixed to the second body 162 in the same manner. This completes the assembly of the shaft, and the camera. Axis broadcasts the picture 1B'. When this fine structure 16 is completed, it will be transferred. The threaded wire of the slot 121 of the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 is inserted through the first body 161 (see FIG. 2A) and the second body 162 housing 12/slot 121. The hole, and the shaft structure 16 and the first package = and the second housing 14 岐. Please refer to FIG. 4, and in addition, it is also possible to cover the F-type mobile phone 1 at the most, so that the assembly of the Flip-Call 1 is completed. 200949497 Please refer to _ 5A~5E’ for the conversion. Figures 6A through 6E are actuation diagrams of the folded configuration 16 from closed to open. Figures 5A to 5E are diagrams and Figure 6a: diagram of the telephone 1 being closed to open. In the case of the same operation, A is the closed view of the rotating shaft structure 16 and is the folding type of mobile electric power to reduce its similarity. The first part of the rotating shaft structure 16 is the body 161 and the second body 162. The pressing force with the second elastic member 166 is closed and the first elastic member 165 and the second elastic member 166 are in a small shape variable. As shown in Fig. 5B, when the first 161 of the spindle structure 16 is rotated upward, the force of the first elastic member 165 being lifted upward must be greater than the force of the first elastic member 165 being pressed against the first body 161 in Fig. 5A. Therefore, the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 165 is increased, and the deformation 1 is also increased. The first body 161 is subjected to the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 165 and is intended to be closed to the state of Fig. 5A. Therefore, if the first body 161 of the shaft structure 16 is released here, the first body 161 will spring back to the closed state of the shaft structure 16 (Fig. 5A). When the first body 161 continues to rotate upward, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the first body 161 is folded to approximately 90 degrees with the second body 162, it will be offset by the baffle 1632 (see FIG. 3) of the connector 163. Live, and can no longer turn clockwise. At this time, the deformation state of the first elastic member 165 is the same as that in Fig. 5A, and the amount of deformation is the smallest, so that the first elastic member 165 is in a stable state and stays at this position. 12 200949497

本發明係藉由彈性元件165之能量變化，達成第一本體161之定位控制。第〆弹性元件165於圖5A及圖5C 時，皆處於較穩定之狀態’故第一本體161會停留於預定位置’而於圖5A及圖5C間之任意位置(如圖5b)，'第一彈性元件165能量處於不穩定狀態’所受彈性恢復力較大，故第一本體161會朝順時針或逆時針方向折動至開啟 (圖5C)或閉合(圖5A)之較穩定狀態。The present invention achieves the positioning control of the first body 161 by the change in energy of the elastic member 165. In the case of FIGS. 5A and 5C, the second elastic member 165 is in a relatively stable state, so that the first body 161 will stay at a predetermined position and at any position between FIG. 5A and FIG. 5C (FIG. 5b), The elastic element 165 is in an unstable state, and the elastic restoring force is large. Therefore, the first body 161 is folded in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to a more stable state of opening (Fig. 5C) or closing (Fig. 5A).
