樞軸組件Pivot assembly

本發明係關於一種樞軸組件,特別是一種運用於平板電腦擴充基座的樞軸組件。The present invention relates to a pivot assembly, and more particularly to a pivot assembly for use in a tablet docking station.

近年來,隨著科技與資訊的日新月異,電子產品的製造技術亦日漸進步。在現代人追求輕便性與實用性的考量下,電子產品朝輕、薄、短、小的特性邁進。以電腦為例,從早期只有桌上型電腦發展出可隨身攜帶的筆記型電腦,而筆記型電腦更從早期的大尺寸筆記型電腦小型化到目前市面常見的小尺寸筆記型電腦。由於現代人追求電子產品極小化的趨勢,近年來更發展出體積較小型筆記型電腦更小更薄的平板電腦。雖然一般的平板電腦不具有鍵盤、滑鼠這些周邊元件,但是平板電腦會具有一擴充插槽來滿足使用者擴充周邊元件的額外需求。In recent years, with the rapid development of technology and information, the manufacturing technology of electronic products has also gradually improved. Under the consideration of modern people's pursuit of portability and practicality, electronic products are moving towards light, thin, short and small features. In the case of computers, from the early days, only desktop computers developed portable notebooks, and notebook computers have been miniaturized from early large-sized notebook computers to small-sized notebook computers that are commonly used in the market. In recent years, modern people have pursued the trend of miniaturization of electronic products, and in recent years, they have developed smaller and thinner tablet computers with smaller notebook computers. Although a typical tablet does not have peripheral components such as a keyboard or a mouse, the tablet has an expansion slot to meet the additional needs of the user to expand peripheral components.

於是,市面上便有專門搭配平板電腦的一擴充基座之產品出現,擴充基座具有一擴充連接埠與平板電腦的擴充插槽連結。以提供多媒體播放功能的擴充基座為例,擴充基座具有多個多媒體用途的接孔,例如色差視訊接頭、複合視訊接頭、數位音訊接頭、外接螢幕連接埠、音源輸出接頭以及音源輸入接頭。Therefore, there is a product of a docking station specially equipped with a tablet computer, and the docking station has an expansion port and an expansion slot of the tablet computer. For example, the docking station that provides multimedia playback functions has a plurality of connectors for multimedia purposes, such as a color difference video connector, a composite video connector, a digital audio connector, an external screen connector, a sound source output connector, and a sound source input connector.

此外,使用者可藉由將平板電腦可放置在擴充基座上,使平板電腦之一螢幕面向使用者,以方便使用者觀賞平板電腦所呈現的多媒體影音,例如電視節目或是電影。但是,置於擴充基座上的平板電腦往往無法隨意由使用者調整螢幕的一視角,導致使用上的不方便,進而影響使用者享受多媒體影音的興致。In addition, the user can place the tablet on the docking station so that one of the screens of the tablet faces the user, so that the user can watch the multimedia video, such as a television program or a movie, presented by the tablet. However, the tablet placed on the docking station often cannot adjust the viewing angle of the screen by the user, which causes inconvenience in use, thereby affecting the user's interest in enjoying the multimedia video.

鑒於以上的問題,本發明在於提供一種鉸鏈組件,藉以解決先前技術所存在平板電腦搭配擴充基座時,卻無法隨意調整螢幕視角的問題。In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a hinge assembly for solving the problem that the tablet of the prior art cannot be adjusted at will when the tablet is attached to the docking station.

當腳架300相對於電子設備200開合時,套筒160與第二摩擦塊120會分別對第一摩擦塊112的第二面116與第一面114旋轉磨擦。由於第二面116的限位塊1126對應套筒160的限位槽166,使得腳架300相對於電子設備200開合時會有一最大開合量,譬如角度50為90°。另外,由於第二摩擦塊120的凸塊122可分別對應第一摩擦塊112的第一凹槽1121、第二凹槽1122及第三凹槽1123,使得腳架300相對於電子設備200開合時具有特定開合量的定位效果。例如凸塊122對應至第一凹槽1121時,腳架300與電子設備200開合的角度50為0°;凸塊122對應至第二凹槽1122時,腳架300與電子設備200開合的角度50為35°;凸塊122對應至第三凹槽1123時,腳架300與電子設備200開合的角度50為60°。When the stand 300 is opened and closed with respect to the electronic device 200, the sleeve 160 and the second friction block 120 respectively rotate and rub the second face 116 of the first friction block 112 and the first face 114. Since the limiting block 1126 of the second surface 116 corresponds to the limiting slot 166 of the sleeve 160, the tripod 300 has a maximum opening and closing amount when it is opened and closed with respect to the electronic device 200, for example, the angle 50 is 90°. In addition, since the protrusions 122 of the second friction block 120 respectively correspond to the first groove 1121, the second groove 1122 and the third groove 1123 of the first friction block 112, the stand 300 is opened and closed with respect to the electronic device 200. When there is a specific opening amount of positioning effect. For example, when the bump 122 corresponds to the first recess 1121, the angle 50 at which the tripod 300 is opened and closed with the electronic device 200 is 0°; when the bump 122 corresponds to the second recess 1122, the tripod 300 is opened and closed with the electronic device 200. The angle 50 is 35°; when the bump 122 corresponds to the third groove 1123, the angle 50 at which the stand 300 is opened and closed with the electronic device 200 is 60°.

When the bump 122 is rotated to the inclined surface 1129 by the rotation of the second friction block 120 relative to the first friction block 112, the bump 122 can be automatically introduced into the first groove 1121, the second groove 1122 or the third by the inclined surface 1129. Inside the groove 1123. That is to say, the bump 122 does not need to be completely turned to the position where the first groove 1121, the second groove 1122 or the third groove 1123 coincides, and can be automatically introduced into the groove to achieve the positioning effect.

Moreover, the sleeve may further have a coupling hole 164, and the tripod 300 is sleeved to the coupling hole 164 to be coupled with the sleeve 160.

根據本實施例所揭露之樞軸組件100,其中套筒160、固定片110及第二摩擦塊120的表面處理可以為一化學鍍鎳,化學鍍鎳可提供材料良好的耐磨及防銹的特性。According to the pivot assembly 100 disclosed in the embodiment, the surface treatment of the sleeve 160, the fixing piece 110 and the second friction block 120 may be an electroless nickel plating, and the electroless nickel plating can provide good wear resistance and rust resistance. characteristic.

根據本實施例所揭露之樞軸組件100,其中軸桿170及彈性件130的表面處理為一般電鍍鎳,電鍍鎳可提供材料防銹的功能。According to the pivot assembly 100 disclosed in the embodiment, the surface treatment of the shaft 170 and the elastic member 130 is generally electroplated nickel, and the electroplated nickel can provide a function of preventing rust of the material.

根據上述本實施例所揭露之樞軸組件,其中套筒具有限位槽對應第一摩擦塊的限位塊,且彼此間的材質為金屬搭配,使得樞軸在轉時,能限定開合角度,並提供良好的止擋效果。如此一來,可提供腳架相對平板電腦擴充基座開合時的穩固性,避免因為平板電腦擴充基負載過重而造成腳架的不穩。另外,由於第一摩擦塊具有複數組凹槽,第二摩擦塊則具有凸塊對應這些凹槽。故,樞軸在旋轉時,當凸塊卡合至凹槽內,將會有止動的效果。意即,若非施加大於一特定外力,則無法隨意變更第一摩擦塊與第二摩擦塊間的相對位置。如此一來,在腳架相對平板電腦擴充基座由角度零開合到最大角度的途中,還可選擇幾個定位角度。意即,使用者可選擇多個開合的角度,以調整平板電腦擴充基座上的平板電腦螢幕之視角。According to the pivot assembly disclosed in the above embodiment, the sleeve has a limiting slot corresponding to the limiting block of the first friction block, and the material between the sleeves is metal-matched, so that the pivoting axis can define the opening and closing angle when the pivoting is rotated. And provide a good stop effect. In this way, the stability of the tripod relative to the tablet docking base can be provided to avoid the instability of the tripod due to the excessive load of the tablet expansion base. In addition, since the first friction block has a plurality of array grooves, the second friction block has bumps corresponding to the grooves. Therefore, when the pivot is rotating, when the bump is engaged into the groove, there will be a stop effect. That is, if a specific external force is not applied, the relative position between the first friction block and the second friction block cannot be arbitrarily changed. In this way, several positioning angles can be selected on the way from the angle of zero to the maximum angle of the tripod relative to the tablet docking station. This means that the user can select multiple angles of opening and closing to adjust the viewing angle of the tablet screen on the tablet docking station.
