HINGE ASSEMBLY AND TERMINAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022654 titled 'HINGE ASSEMBLY AND TERMINAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a hinge assembly that includes two hinge arms, a fixing structure, and a plurality of balls. The hinge arms have gear portions with shaft holes and grooves. The fixing structure consists of two central shafts that pass through the shaft holes. The balls are accommodated in the grooves and are in interference fit with the central shafts. The rotation of the balls and central shafts generates a damping force to maintain the position of the hinge arms.

  • The hinge assembly includes two hinge arms with gear portions, shaft holes, and grooves.
  • A fixing structure with two central shafts is used to connect the hinge arms.
  • Balls are placed in the grooves and are in interference fit with the central shafts.
  • The rotation of the balls and central shafts creates a damping force to keep the hinge arms in position.
  • The hinge assembly has a long service life and sufficient space.

Potential Applications:

  • Furniture manufacturing
  • Automotive industry
  • Robotics
  • Industrial machinery

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a damping force to maintain the position of hinge arms, preventing unwanted movement or vibration.
  • Increases the service life of the hinge assembly due to the damping effect.
  • Offers sufficient space for the hinge assembly to operate effectively.

Benefits:

  • Improved stability and durability of hinge assemblies.
  • Reduces wear and tear, increasing the lifespan of the hinge assembly.
  • Provides smooth and controlled movement, minimizing noise and vibration.


Original Abstract Submitted

a hinge assembly includes two hinge arms, a fixing structure, and a plurality of balls. each of the two hinge arms includes a gear portion. a shaft hole and at least one groove are defined on the gear portion, and the shaft hole connects to the at least one groove. the fixing structure includes two central shafts, each of the two central shafts passes through the shaft hole respectively. each ball is accommodated in the at least one groove. the balls are in interference fit with the two central shafts. the balls and the two central shafts generate a damping force while they rotate relative to each other or tend to rotate relative to each other to maintain the position of the two hinge arms. the hinge assembly has a long service life and sufficient space. a terminal device is provided according to the present disclosure.
