Abstract
A hinge structure with an electrical connector is connected to a first body of an electronic device through a support frame. A pivot portion of the hinge structure is connected to a second body of the electronic device and includes a rotating shaft connected to the support frame, such that the first body is capable of rotating relative to the second body. The electrical connector is a power input connector disposed on the support frame, such that a power line is inserted in the power input connector to electrically connect to the electronic device.
Claims19
A hinge structure with an electrical connector, adapted to connect a first body to a second body of an electronic device, such that the first body is capable of rotating relative to the second body, wherein the electrical connector is a power input connector, and a power line is inserted in the power input connector to electrically connect to the electronic device, the hinge structure comprising:
- a pivot portion, disposed on the second body, and having a rotating shaft;
- a support frame, having an upright section and a holding section, wherein the upright section is disposed on the first body, and the holding section is connected to the rotating shaft, so as to rotate relative to the second body through the rotating shaft;
- and
- a fixed seat, disposed on the other side of the holding section opposite to the pivot portion, and having an accommodation space for accommodating the power input connector;
- wherein the electrical connector, the rotating shaft, and the fixed seat are located at the same axle center position on the holding section.
