Abstract
The hinge assembly includes: a rotating assembly and a hovering mechanism. The rotating assembly includes a first rotating part, and the first rotating part comprises a first guide groove extending obliquely around an axial direction of the first rotating part. The hovering mechanism comprises a sliding member and a position limiting member. The sliding member includes a protruding part, the protruding part extends into the first guide groove. The first rotating part drives the sliding member to move along the axial direction of the first rotating part when rotating. One of the position limiting member and the sliding member comprises a first limiting part, the other of the position limiting member and the sliding member comprises a second limiting part cooperated with the first limiting part.
Claims18
A hinge assembly, comprising:
- a rotating assembly, wherein the rotating assembly comprises a first rotating part, and the first rotating part comprises a first guide groove extending obliquely around an axial direction of the first rotating part;
- and
- a hovering mechanism, wherein the hovering mechanism comprises a sliding member and a position limiting member, the sliding member comprises a protruding part, the protruding part extends into the first guide groove, and the first rotating part drives the sliding member to move along the axial direction of the first rotating part when rotating, the position limiting member comprises a first limiting part, and the sliding member comprises a second limiting part cooperated with the first limiting part;
- wherein rotation of the first rotating part is limited when the first limiting part is cooperated with the second limiting part, and the limiting is released when the first limiting part is separated from the second limiting part,
- wherein the rotating assembly further comprises a mating part away from the first rotating part, and the first rotating part is used to rotatably connected to an external base body or a base body comprised in the hinge assembly;
- wherein the hinge assembly further comprises:
- a fixed support member, wherein the fixed support member and the mating part are slidably connected along a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first rotating part;
- a first pull rod, having one end movably connected with the base body, and the other end rotatably connected with the fixed support member;
- a screen support member, stacked with the fixed support member;
- a second pull rod, having one end rotatably connected with the first pull rod, and the other end rotatably connected with the screen support member;
- wherein the first pull rod pushes the fixed support member to move when moving relative to the base body, the fixed support member and the mating part slide relative to each other, and the screen support member is driven to rotate relative to the base body through the second pull rod.
