A hinge module includes the two spindles, the two brackets, a gear set and a torque part. The two spindles are spaced apart from each other. The two brackets are respectively connected to a first side of the two spindles, where an installing direction of each of the brackets is perpendicular to an axial direction of each of the spindles. The gear set is disposed at a second side opposite to the first side of the two spindles. The torque part is disposed on the two spindles and is located between the two brackets and the gear set, where each of the brackets is adapted to rotate relative to the torque part with the corresponding spindle, and the gear set is configured to drive the two spindles rotating in opposite directions.

Hinge module and electronic device

An expansion hinge including a torque module, two first brackets, two sliding brackets, two second brackets and two elastic modules is provided. The torque module is configured to provide torques. The two first brackets are rotatably connected to two opposite ends of the torque module. The two sliding brackets are rotatably connected to the two opposite ends of the torque module. The two second brackets are slidably disposed in the two sliding brackets respectively. Each of the two elastic modules is disposed between the respective sliding bracket and the respective second bracket. The two sliding brackets are adapted to synchronously slide with respect to the two second brackets, and each of the elastic modules is configured to push the respective sliding bracket and the respective second bracket to form a pulled-out state or a pushed-in state.

A synchronous hinge module includes a first axle, a second axle, a third axle, a fourth axle, at least one central frame, at least two connecting bases, a plurality of first baffle plates, at least two side frames, and a plurality of second baffle plates. The at least one central frame is disposed around the first axle and the second axle. The at least two connecting bases are engaged with two opposite ends of the at least one central frame respectively. The plurality of first baffle plates is respectively disposed around the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle. Each of the first baffle plates extends outside each of the at least two connecting bases and the at least one central frame.

Synchronous hinge module

A hinge module includes a housing and at least one carrying assembly. The housing includes two accommodation spaces. The at least one carrying assembly is disposed at the housing and includes a torque element, two rotation shafts and two brackets. The torque element is disposed in one of the accommodation spaces. The two rotation shafts pass through the torque element. The two brackets are respectively connected to the two rotation shafts and located outside the housing. Each bracket is adapted to rotate along with the corresponding rotation shaft and rotate relative to the torque element.

A sliding hinge including a torque module, two brackets, a support plate, a driving gear set, and a sliding bracket is provided. The torque module has a first shaft and a second shaft adapted to rotate in opposite directions and produce a torque. The brackets are respectively disposed on the first shaft and the second shaft. The support plate is disposed on one of the brackets. The driving gear set is disposed on the support plate and coupled to the first shaft. The sliding bracket is coupled to the driving gear set and slidably disposed on a top surface of the support plate. The brackets are adapted to rotate relative to the torque module by the first shaft and the second shaft, such that the brackets are overlapped or unfolded with each other while the driving gear set drives the sliding bracket to slide along the support plate.

Sliding hinge and electronic device having the same

A hinge module includes a first bracket, a second bracket, a pivot assembly, a pressing component and an adjusting structure. The first bracket has at least one first sliding slot. The first bracket and the second bracket are pivoted to each other by the pivot assembly, wherein the pivot assembly has a first sliding portion that is slidably disposed in the first sliding slot. The pressing component is connected to the first bracket and the first sliding portion. The adjusting structure is connected to the pressing component that presses the first sliding portion by the adjusting structure. When the first bracket and the second bracket rotate relative to each other, the first sliding portion slides along the first sliding slot, and the hinge module generates a torsional force by continuously pressing the first sliding portion by the pressing component. In addition, an electronic device including the hinge module is provided.

A hinge module including a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, a sliding member, a first torque member, and a second torque member is provided. The sliding member coupled to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft simultaneously. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are rotated synchronously via the sliding member. The first torque member and the second torque member are connected to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, and the first torque member and the second torque member are located at opposite sides of a sliding range of the sliding member. A foldable electronic device is also provided.
