An electronic device including two bodies, at least one hinge assembly, and a hinge cover is provided. The two bodies are pivoted to each other through the hinge assembly. The hinge cover is connected between the two bodies and covers the hinge assembly. The hinge cover includes a plurality of shell parts, and the shell parts are movably connected to each other in sequence. The hinge cover has at least one first heat dissipation opening and at least one heat dissipation flow channel, and the at least one heat dissipation flow channel communicates the first heat dissipation opening and an inner space of at least one of the bodies.

Electronic device

A folding-type electronic device including a first housing, a second housing, at least one hinge structure, an elastic cover, two bearing plates, a flexible screen, first synchronous gears, and second synchronous gears is provided. The first housing and the second housing are symmetrical to a centerline. The hinge structure is respectively connected to the first housing and the second housing, and the centerline passes through the hinge structure. The elastic cover is slidably disposed between the hinge structure and the first housing and the second housing and has first racks. The bearing plates have second racks. The flexible screen is disposed on the bearing plates. Each first and second synchronous gear is respectively pivoted to the first and second housings. Each first and second synchronous gear is engaged with each corresponding first and second rack.

Folding-type electronic device

A dual-shaft hinge module including a first shaft, a first driving gear disposed on the first shaft, a second shaft, a second driving gear disposed on the second shaft, a pair of driven gears coupled between the first driving gear and the second driving gear, and multiple links is provided. The links are respectively pivoted to any two engaged gears to keep a center distance of the engaged gears fixed. A relative distance of the first shaft and the second shaft is changed along with different engagement positions of the driven gears relative to the first driving gear and the second driving gear. A portable electronic device is also provided.

Dual-shaft hinge module and portable electronic device

A hinge structure including a plurality of pivots, a driving part, two positioning gear sets, and a plurality of fixing parts is provided. The pivots are parallel to each other. The driving part is disposed at a central portion of the pivots and is perpendicular to the pivots. These two positioning gear sets are respectively sleeved around two ends of each of the pivots. The fixing parts are respectively disposed outside these two positioning gear sets. When the plurality of fixing parts is under the action of an external force, the two gear sets are moved relative to each other, and the driving part is adapted to be bent and drives the pivots to rotate synchronously with respect to a central axis.

Hinge structure and electronic device having the same

A bending module and a folding display device are provided. The bending module is adapted to vary between a flattened state and a bent state. The bending module includes a flexible unit and a pair of supporting members. The flexible unit has a neutral layer, and the pair of supporting members are connected to the flexible unit. When the bending module varies between the flattened state and the bent state, the flexible unit is deformed, and the supporting members are each rotated via one corresponding center of rotation to be relatively close to or far from each other, wherein the centers of rotation are always maintained on the neutral layer of the flexible unit. By applying the bending module to the folding display device, the service life of the folding display device may be extended.

Bending module and folding display device

A hinge structure includes a first base, a second base, a first linking rod, a second linking rod, and a torque assembly. The first linking rod has a first pivot part, a first sliding part, and a second pivot part. The first pivot part is pivoted to the first base, and the first sliding part is slidably connected to the second base. The second linking rod has a second sliding part, a shaft part, a third pivot part, and a fourth pivot part. The second sliding part is slidably connected to the first base. The third pivot part is pivoted to the second base. The second pivot part is pivoted to the fourth pivot part. The torque assembly has a sleeve part sleeved on the shaft part and a connection part connected to the second base. The sleeve part generates torque during rotation with respect to the shaft part.
