Rotation axis positioning structure of digital photo frame
This creation is a rotation axis positioning structure, especially related to the rotation axis positioning structure used in digital photo frames.
Please refer to Figure 1, which is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the supporting structure of a conventional digital photo frame. The digital photo frame 1 has a housing 11, a stand 12 and a shaft connection portion 13. The shaft connection portion 13 is separately provided on the housing 11 and the tripod 12, and the tripod 12 and the housing 11 are connected together by the shaft connection portion 13, so that the tripod 12 takes the shaft connection portion 13 as the axis. When opened, the housing 11 can be supported. However, this type of support has the problem of shifting the center of gravity of the support.
Another support method is to use a hinge (Hinge) method, which can be rotated in two stages. Among them, metal and magnets are attracted to each other to achieve the support effect. However, the cost of the above two support methods is high. In addition, the above-mentioned supporting structures are not easy to install and unload, which easily leads to an increase in the packaging volume of the product, which is difficult to fix, and increases the cost of the product.
In order to meet the above requirements, it is desirable to design a simple support foot structure so that the support foot can be detachably moved and can provide good support to reduce the overall cost. Based on many years of research and many practical experience, the creator of this creation proposes a rotation axis positioning structure of the digital photo frame as a way and basis for the realization of the aforementioned expectation.
In view of the above-mentioned issues, one of the objectives of this creation is to provide a positioning structure for the rotation axis of a digital photo frame. In particular, the housing of the digital photo frame is provided with a shaft hole, so that the tripod with the rotation shaft can be easily inserted into the shaft hole and connected with the digital photo frame. , And the tripod can provide good support for the digital photo frame.
Another purpose of this creation is to provide a positioning structure for the rotation axis of a digital photo frame. In particular, a plurality of elastic bodies with tenons are arranged in the shaft hole of the housing, and a card slot is provided on the rotation axis of the tripod to borrow the card. The grooves are respectively engaged with the tenons, so that the relative position relationship between the digital photo frame and the tripod is changed to achieve different placement forms.
The reason is that, in order to achieve the above purpose, according to the rotation axis positioning structure of the digital photo frame created in this invention, the digital photo frame has a shell and a shaft hole, and the shaft hole is provided on the back of one of the shells, and the rotation shaft positioning structure includes at least a plurality of elastic bodies And a tripod. Each of the plurality of elastic bodies has a tenon, and the elastic system is arranged in the shaft hole in a ring-shaped arrangement. The tripod has a rotating shaft and a card slot, the rotating shaft is arranged at one end of the tripod, and the card slot is located on the rotating shaft. Among them, when the rotating shaft is inserted into the shaft hole, the slot is engaged with one of the tenons, so that the shell is located in a position so that the tripod supports the shell; when the rotating shaft is used as the axis to perform a rotational movement, the slot and the The other latch is engaged, and the shell is located at another position, so that the tripod supports the shell.
In order to further understand the technical features of the present invention and the effects achieved, the following provides preferred embodiments and related drawings for auxiliary purposes, and detailed description texts are used in conjunction with the description as follows.
Please refer to Figure 2, which is a three-dimensional exploded schematic diagram of the pivot positioning structure of this creative digital photo frame. The rotating shaft positioning structure 2 is installed on a digital photo frame 3. The digital photo frame 3 has a housing 31 and a shaft hole 32. The housing 31 is a rectangle, and has a first side 33 and a second side 34 corresponding to each other in pairs. The front surface (not shown) of the housing 31 is a screen surface, and the shaft hole 32 is provided on the back surface 35 opposite to the front surface.
The rotating shaft positioning structure 2 includes a plurality of elastic bodies 21 and a tripod 22. In this embodiment, two elastic bodies 21 are taken as an example, which are the first elastic body 211 and the second elastic body 212 respectively. Each elastic body 21 is provided with a tenon 23. The elastic body 21 is arranged in the shaft hole 32 in an annular arrangement, and the first elastic body 211 and the second elastic body 212 are separated by an angle of forty-five degrees. In addition, two positioning bodies 24 are provided on the side away from the first elastic body 211 and the second elastic body 212.
The tripod 22 has a supporting body 221, a connecting end 222, a rotating shaft 223, a slot 224 and a positioning block 225. The supporting body 221 and the connecting end 222 are connected at a predetermined angle. The rotating shaft 223 is arranged on the connecting end 222. The slot 224 and the positioning block 225 are relatively disposed on the rotating shaft 223.
By inserting the rotating shaft 223 on the tripod 22 into the shaft hole 32 on the housing 31, the shell 31 and the tripod 22 are combined, and the housing 31 is supported by the tripod 22. The predetermined angle between the supporting body 221 and the connecting end 222 causes the stand 22 to provide different supporting angles for the housing 31 when supporting the housing 31.
Please continue to refer to Figures 3A to 3B, which respectively show a schematic diagram of the rotation axis positioning structure of this creative digital photo frame at the first position, and a schematic diagram of the relationship between the rotation axis and the shaft hole when it is in the first position. Among them, the same components will be represented by the same component symbols, and no further description will be given here. When the shaft 223 of the tripod 22 is combined with the shaft hole 32 of the digital photo frame 3 and the digital photo frame 3 is placed on the support, at this time, the housing 31 of the digital photo frame 3 is attached to the support with the first side 33 Above, the first position 41 of the digital photo frame 3 is formed.
The locking slot 224 on the rotating shaft 223 is engaged with the locking tenon 23 provided on the first elastic body 211 in the shaft hole 32, and relative to the positioning block 225 of the locking slot 224, it is adjacent to the second elastic body 212 The positioning bodies 24 of the two are attached to each other to form a limiting relationship between the rotating shaft 223 and the shaft hole 32, as shown in FIG. 3B.
Please refer to Figures 3C to 3D again, which respectively show a schematic diagram of the rotation axis positioning structure of this creative digital photo frame at the second position, and a schematic diagram of the relationship between the rotation axis and the shaft hole when it is in the second position. When an external force is applied to make the digital photo frame 3 take the rotating shaft 223 as the axis, after a rotational movement 5, the housing 31 of the digital photo frame 3 is pressed against the support with the second side surface 34 to form the second position of the digital photo frame 3 42, as shown in Figure 3C.
At this time, the slot 224 is separated from the tenon 23 on the first elastic body 211, and turns to the second elastic body 212, so that the slot 224 is engaged with the tenon 23 on the second elastic body 212, and The positioning block 225 is attached to the positioning body 24 adjacent to the first elastic body 211 to form a limiting relationship to prevent excessive rotation and damage the rotating shaft positioning structure 2.
It can be seen from the above content that the improvement of the rotation axis positioning structure of this creative digital photo frame is that a shaft hole is provided on the digital photo frame, so that the tripod with the rotation axis can be inserted into the shaft hole to provide a good supporting force to support the digital photo frame. A plurality of elastic bodies with a tenon in the shaft hole are respectively engaged with the grooves on the rotating shaft to provide different placement positions for the digital photo frame, replacing the conventional digital photo frame support structure, which cannot take into account the lack of good support and cost considerations.
The above descriptions are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Any equivalent modifications or changes that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this creation should be included in the scope of the attached patent application.
