請參閱圖1,本申請相關技術中提供一種壓縮彈簧式的鉸鏈結構101’,壓縮彈簧81’的彈力為鉸鏈結構101’的自鎖功能提供阻尼。但鉸鏈結構101’通過壓縮彈簧81’的壓縮和恢復形變產生阻尼的改變,因此需要足夠的空間使得壓縮彈簧81’能夠壓縮和恢復形變,導致壓縮彈簧81’式的鉸鏈結構101’佔據空間大,減小各元件的尺寸以符合小型化的終端裝置需求時,會縮減鉸鏈結構101’的使用壽命。Please refer to Figure 1. The related art of this application provides a compression spring-type hinge structure 101'. The elastic force of the compression spring 81' provides damping for the self-locking function of the hinge structure 101'. However, the hinge structure 101' produces a change in damping through the compression and recovery deformation of the compression spring 81'. Therefore, sufficient space is required to allow the compression spring 81' to compress and recover its deformation, resulting in a compression spring 81' type hinge structure 101' occupying a large space. , when reducing the size of each component to meet the requirements of miniaturized terminal devices, the service life of the hinge structure 101' will be shortened.

請參閱圖2,本申請相關技術中提供一種壓縮彈簧81’和凸輪82’結合的鉸鏈結構102’,通過兩個凸輪82’相對位置的改變使得壓縮彈簧81’產生形變和恢復形變,同樣鉸鏈結構102’佔據空間大,減小各元件的尺寸以符合小型化的終端裝置需求時,會縮減鉸鏈結構102’的使用壽命;另外,凸輪82’形狀高低起伏,鉸鏈臂10轉動會產生頓點,使用者使用具有鉸鏈結構102’的產品時,會感覺轉動不順暢。Please refer to Figure 2. The related art of this application provides a hinge structure 102' in which a compression spring 81' and a cam 82' are combined. The change of the relative positions of the two cams 82' causes the compression spring 81' to deform and recover its deformation. The same hinge structure The structure 102' occupies a large space. When the size of each component is reduced to meet the needs of miniaturized terminal devices, the service life of the hinge structure 102' will be shortened. In addition, the shape of the cam 82' is undulating, and the rotation of the hinge arm 10 will produce pauses. , when users use the product with the hinge structure 102', they may feel that the rotation is not smooth.

請參閱圖3,本申請相關技術中提供一種阻擋片83’干涉的鉸鏈結構103’,鉸鏈結構103’包括齒輪85’,阻擋片83’抵持於齒輪85’的一側,阻擋片83’與齒輪85’面接觸,阻擋片83’與齒輪85’之間的摩擦力為鉸鏈結構103’提供阻尼。阻擋片83’的設置導致齒輪85’的長度減小,齒輪85’的壽命相應減小,或者不減小齒輪85’的長度,則鉸鏈結構103’的體積相應增加;另外,阻擋片83’與齒輪85’面接觸,摩擦生熱產生的損耗大,且沒有補償,阻尼衰減快,導致鉸鏈結構103’使用壽命短。Please refer to Figure 3. The relevant technology of this application provides a hinge structure 103' in which the blocking piece 83' interferes. The hinge structure 103' includes a gear 85'. The blocking piece 83' resists one side of the gear 85'. The blocking piece 83' In surface contact with the gear 85', the friction force between the blocking piece 83' and the gear 85' provides damping for the hinge structure 103'. The setting of the blocking piece 83' causes the length of the gear 85' to be reduced, and the life of the gear 85' is correspondingly reduced, or if the length of the gear 85' is not reduced, the volume of the hinge structure 103' is correspondingly increased; in addition, the blocking piece 83' In surface contact with the gear 85', the loss caused by frictional heat is large, without compensation, and the damping decays quickly, resulting in a short service life of the hinge structure 103'.

請參閱圖4,本申請相關技術中提供一種凹凸輪式的鉸鏈結構104’,鉸鏈結構104’採用凹凸輪86’與彈片87’(也可以是壓縮彈簧)配合提供阻尼。凹凸輪86’的相對旋轉使得彈片87’壓縮和恢復形變產生阻尼的改變,同樣需要足夠的空間使得彈片87’能夠壓縮和恢復形變,導致凹凸輪式的鉸鏈結構104’佔據空間大,減小各元件的尺寸以符合小型化的終端裝置需求時,會縮減鉸鏈結構104’的使用壽命;另外,凹凸輪式的鉸鏈結構104’為單軸旋轉,開合行程大。Please refer to Figure 4. The related art of this application provides a concave-cam type hinge structure 104'. The hinge structure 104' uses a concave-cam wheel 86' and a spring piece 87' (which can also be a compression spring) to provide damping. The relative rotation of the concave cam wheel 86' causes the compression and recovery deformation of the elastic piece 87' to produce a change in damping. Enough space is also required for the elastic piece 87' to be able to compress and restore its deformation, resulting in the concave cam hinge structure 104' occupying a large space and reducing the size. When the size of each component is adapted to the requirements of a miniaturized terminal device, the service life of the hinge structure 104' will be shortened; in addition, the concave-cam hinge structure 104' rotates on a single axis and has a large opening and closing stroke.
