Abstract

A synchronous moving double-axis hinge comprises a support member, a first transmitting assembly and a second transmitting assembly mounted onto the support member, and a transmission element installed on the support member. The first transmitting assembly includes a first transmission shaft and a first helical gear. The second transmitting assembly includes a second transmission shaft and a second helical gear. The transmission element includes a hinge pin and a driven helical gear. The driven helical gear has a first engaging zone to engage with the first helical gear and a second engaging zone to engage with the second helical gear. The hinge pin has a third extension axis crossing with a first extension axis of the first transmission shaft and a second extension axis of the second transmission shaft. Thus the crossed helical gears can effectively amplify the contact among the gear teeth to make transmission steadier.

Claims

1. A synchronous moving double-axis hinge, comprising:

a support member including a main body, a first hinge hole and a second hinge hole formed on the main body, and at least one holding portion which is located on the main body between the first hinge hole and the second hinge hole and includes an installation section;

a first transmitting assembly and a second transmitting assembly mounted on the support member, the first transmitting assembly including a first transmission shaft hinged in the first hinge hole and a first helical gear annularly coupled on a surface of the first transmission shaft;

the second transmitting assembly including a second transmission shaft hinged in the second hinge hole and a second helical gear annularly coupled on a surface of the second transmission shaft; and

a transmission element which is installed on the holding portion of the support member and includes a hinge pin hinged on the installation section and a driven helical gear fixedly mounted onto the hinge pin, the driven helical gear including a first engaging zone to engage with the first helical gear and a second engaging zone opposing to the first engaging zone to engage with the second helical gear;

wherein the first transmission shaft includes a first extension axis, the second transmission shaft includes a second extension axis parallel with the first extension axis, and the hinge pin of the transmission element includes a third extension axis crossing with the first extension axis and the second extension axis.

2. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the first transmission shaft includes a first latch portion, and the first helical gear includes a first coupling portion latched on the first latch portion.

3. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the first transmission shaft includes a first retaining portion leaning on the first helical gear and collaborating with the support member to confine movement of the first helical gear on the first transmission shaft.

4. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the first transmission shaft includes a first fastening base.

5. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the second transmission shaft includes a second latch portion, and the second helical gear includes a second coupling portion latched on the second latch portion.

6. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the second transmission shaft includes a second retaining portion leaning on the second helical gear and collaborating with the support member to confine movement of the second helical gear on the second transmission shaft.

7. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the second transmission shaft includes a second fastening base.

8. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the first transmitting assembly includes a first torsional force generation portion run through by the first transmission shaft to provide a torsional force required by the first transmission shaft, and the second transmitting assembly includes a second torsional force generation portion run through by the second transmission shaft to provide another torsional force required by the second transmission shaft.

9. The synchronous moving double-axis hinge of claim 1, wherein the first helical gear, the second helical gear and the driven helical gear include respectively a plurality of helical teeth, the plurality of helical teeth of the first helical gear, the second helical gear and the driven helical gear being formed in a same helical direction.
