이때, 상기 스프링(300)의 타단은 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 타단과 상기 걸림턱(115) 사이에 배치되어 외측으로 절곡된 상기 스프링(300)의 타단이 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 타단에 접하도록 결합되고, 상기 상부돌출편(216)의 일단은 상하 방향으로 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 일단을 덮게 된다.In this case, the other end of the spring 300 is disposed between the other end of the lower protrusion piece 114 and the locking jaw 115 so that the other end of the spring 300 is bent outward. It is coupled to contact the other end, one end of the upper projection piece 216 is to cover one end of the lower projection piece 114 in the vertical direction.
상기 상부암(200)은 탄성변형될 수 있는 재질로 이루어져, 상기 상부돌출편(216)은 상기 하부돌출편(114)에 의해 상방향으로 약간 탄성변형된다.The upper arm 200 is made of a material that can be elastically deformed, the upper protrusion piece 216 is slightly elastically deformed upward by the lower protrusion piece (114).
이 상태에서 상기 하부암(100)과 상부암(200)은 상기 결합돌기(111)와 결합홈(213)에 대해 상호 회전할 수 있는 상태가 된다.In this state, the lower arm 100 and the upper arm 200 may be rotatable with respect to the coupling protrusion 111 and the coupling groove 213.
이에 따라 상기 상부암(200)을 시계 방향 즉, 상기 스프링(300)을 압축시키는 방향으로 회전시키면, 도 6(a)에 도시된 바와 같이 상방향으로 중첩되어 있던 상기 상부돌출편(216)의 일단이 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 상부를 지나면서 상기 상부돌출편(216)이 하방향으로 탄성복원되어 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 일단과 접하게 된다.Accordingly, when the upper arm 200 is rotated in the clockwise direction, that is, the direction in which the spring 300 is compressed, the upper protrusion pieces 216 overlapped in the upward direction as shown in FIG. One end passes through the upper portion of the lower protrusion piece 114, and the upper protrusion piece 216 is elastically restored downward to be in contact with one end of the lower protrusion piece 114.
이때, 상기 스프링(300)은 압축된 상태로 놓여 있는바, 자유상태에서 상기 스프링(300)의 탄성복원력에 의해 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 일단과 상기 상부돌출편(216)의 일단이 상호 접하게 된다.At this time, the spring 300 is placed in a compressed state, one end of the lower protrusion piece 114 and one end of the upper protrusion piece 216 mutually by the elastic restoring force of the spring 300 in the free state You will come across.
상기 하부돌출편(114)은 상기 상부유동방지부(217)에 결합되고, 상기 상부돌출편(216)은 상기 하부유동방지부(116) 및 보조유동방지부(117)에 결합된다.The lower protrusion piece 114 is coupled to the upper flow prevention part 217, and the upper protrusion piece 216 is coupled to the lower flow prevention part 116 and the auxiliary flow prevention part 117.
또한, 상기 결합돌기(111) 즉, 상기 절곡부(113)는 상기 결합편(212)의 상부 일부를 덮어 상기 하부암(100)과 상부암(200)을 결합시킨다.In addition, the coupling protrusion 111, that is, the bent portion 113 covers the upper portion of the coupling piece 212 to couple the lower arm 100 and the upper arm 200.
즉, 상기 결합편(212)이 상기 하부안착부(110)와 절곡부(113) 사이에 배치되어 상기 하부암(100)과 상부암(200)이 분리되지 않고 결합된다.That is, the coupling piece 212 is disposed between the lower seating portion 110 and the bent portion 113 is coupled to the lower arm 100 and the upper arm 200 without being separated.
이와 같이 상기 하부암(100)에 상기 결합돌기(111)가 돌출 형성되고, 상기 상부암(200)에 상기 결합돌기(111)가 관통하는 관통공(211)이 형성되어 상기 하부암(100)과 상부암(200)을 힌지결합시킴으로써, 부품의 수를 줄이고 구조를 간단히 하여 조립공정을 단순화할 수 있으며 제조원가를 줄일 수 있다.As described above, the coupling protrusion 111 protrudes from the lower arm 100, and a through hole 211 through which the coupling protrusion 111 penetrates is formed in the upper arm 200 to form the lower arm 100. By hinge coupling the upper arm 200, the assembly process can be simplified by reducing the number of components and simplifying the structure, and manufacturing cost can be reduced.
전술한 바와 같이 상기 하부암(100)과 상부암(200)이 상호 결합된 상태에서, 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 일단과 상기 상부돌출편(216)의 일단은 상기 스프링(300)의 탄성력에 의해 상호 접하게 되어 상기 상부암(200)이 상기 하부암(100)에 대해 임의로 시계 방향으로 회전하지 않는다.As described above, in a state in which the lower arm 100 and the upper arm 200 are coupled to each other, one end of the lower protrusion piece 114 and one end of the upper protrusion piece 216 have elastic force of the spring 300. By contact with each other by the upper arm 200 does not rotate in any clockwise direction with respect to the lower arm (100).
또한, 상기 하부돌출편(114)의 일단과 상기 상부돌출편(216)의 일단은 상호 접하여 상기 상부암(200)이 상기 하부암(100)에 대해 반시계 방향으로 회전하지 못한다.In addition, one end of the lower protrusion piece 114 and one end of the upper protrusion piece 216 may be in contact with each other so that the upper arm 200 may not rotate counterclockwise with respect to the lower arm 100.
이에 따라 상기 결합돌기(111)는 하부 전체면 또는 일부면이 항상 상기 결합편(212)에 걸리게 되어 상기 하부암(100)과 상부암(200)이 분리되지 않는다.As a result, the coupling protrusion 111 is always caught by the coupling piece 212 at its entire surface or part of the lower surface such that the lower arm 100 and the upper arm 200 are not separated.
이러한 힌지모듈은 상기 하부암(100)의 일단을 상기 메인바디에 힌지결합시키고, 상기 상부암(200)의 타단을 상기 슬라이드바디에 힌지결합시켜 휴대단말기를 슬라이딩 방식으로 개폐시킨다.The hinge module hinges one end of the lower arm 100 to the main body, and hinges the other end of the upper arm 200 to the slide body to open and close the portable terminal in a sliding manner.
휴대단말기가 닫힌 초기 상태에서 사용자가 상기 슬라이드바디를 밀어 슬라이딩시켜면, 도 11에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 상부암(200)은 상기 하부암(100)에 대해 시계 방향으로 회전하며 상기 스프링(300)이 더 압축된다.When the user slides the slide body in the initial state in which the portable terminal is closed, as shown in FIG. 11, the upper arm 200 rotates clockwise with respect to the lower arm 100 and the spring 300. This is more compressed.
상기 스프링(300)은 별도의 스프링암이 형성되지 않고 나선 형상의 양단이 상기 하부암(100) 및 상부암(200)에 직접 결합되기 때문에 상기 스프링(300)의 압축 시 상기 스프링(300)이 접촉하여 마찰이 발생하는 것을 최소화하고 상기 스프링(300)의 특정 부분이 집중적으로 탄성변형되는 것을 방지하여 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있다.Since the spring 300 has no separate spring arm is formed, both ends of the spiral shape are directly coupled to the lower arm 100 and the upper arm 200, so that the spring 300 is compressed when the spring 300 is compressed. Minimization of friction by contact and prevention of concentrated elastic deformation of a specific portion of the spring 300 may improve durability.
상기와 같이 압축된 상기 스프링(300)은 사용자에 의한 외력이 작용하지 않으면 탄성복원력에 의해 상기 상부암(200)을 상기 하부암(100)에 대해 반시계 방향으로 회전시켜 상기 슬라이드바디를 반자동으로 슬라이딩시킨다.When the spring 300 is compressed as described above, when the external force is not applied by the user, the slide body is rotated counterclockwise with respect to the lower arm 100 by the elastic restoring force to automatically rotate the slide body.
