Abstract
A hinge module includes a housing and at least one carrying assembly. The housing includes two accommodation spaces. The at least one carrying assembly is disposed at the housing and includes a torque element, two rotation shafts and two brackets. The torque element is disposed in one of the accommodation spaces. The two rotation shafts pass through the torque element. The two brackets are respectively connected to the two rotation shafts and located outside the housing. Each bracket is adapted to rotate along with the corresponding rotation shaft and rotate relative to the torque element.
Claims16
A hinge module, comprising:
- a housing, having two accommodation spaces;
- and
- two carrying assemblies, respectively disposed in the two accommodation spaces of the housing and each of the two carrying assemblies comprising:
- a torque element, disposed in one of the accommodation spaces;
- two rotation shafts, passing through the torque element;
- and
- two brackets, respectively connected to the two rotation shafts and located outside the housing,
- wherein each of the brackets is adapted to rotate along with the corresponding rotation shaft and rotates relative to the torque element.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- two bodies;
- and
- two hinge modules, disposed between the two bodies, and each of the hinge modules comprising:
- a housing, having two accommodation spaces;
- and
- two carrying assemblies, respectively disposed in the two accommodation spaces of the housing and each of the two carrying assemblies comprising:
- a torque element, disposed in one of the accommodation spaces;
- two rotation shafts, passing through the torque element;
- and
- two brackets, respectively connected to the two rotation shafts and located outside the housing, wherein the two bodies are respectively connected to the two brackets,
- wherein each of the brackets is adapted to rotate along with the corresponding rotation shaft and rotate relative to the torque element to drive the two bodies to expand or close relative to each other.
