Abstract
A hinge includes a base and a rotating component. The base extends along a first direction, and the rotating component includes a floating plate and a rotating assembly. A first mounting position and a second mounting position are on the floating plate and spaced apart along a second direction. The second direction is orthogonal to the first direction. A first end of the rotating assembly is pivotably coupled to the base, a second end of the rotating assembly is pivotably coupled to the first mounting position and the second mounting position. The rotating assembly is slidable relative to the second mounting position along the second direction.
Claims19
A hinge, comprising:
- a base extending along a first direction;
- and
- a rotating component comprising a floating plate and a rotating assembly,
- wherein:
- a first end of the rotating assembly is pivotably coupled to the base, and a second end of the rotating assembly is pivotably coupled to a first mounting position and a second mounting position on the floating plate, the first mounting position and the second mounting position being spaced apart along a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction;
- the rotating assembly is slidable relative to the second mounting position along the second direction;
- the rotating assembly comprises a first rod, a second rod, a third rod, and a connection member;
