Double-axis hinge structure with synchronized rotation in opposite directions
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11970894B2) discloses a double-axis hinge structure designed to enable synchronous rotation of two shafts in opposite directions by the same amount of rotation. The hinge structure comprises a fixing member, two shafts passing through the fixing member, guiding portions on each shaft, and a slide guiding member with matching guiding portions. As one or both shafts rotate relative to the fixing member, the slide guiding member slides relative to the shafts, ensuring synchronous rotation in opposite directions. The guiding portions are helical guiding surfaces, enhancing the precision and efficiency of the hinge structure.
Furthermore, the patented double-axis hinge structure includes additional features such as connection members, slide guiding members with sliding grooves and pushing portions, and torsional components. These elements contribute to the functionality and versatility of the hinge structure, allowing for different configurations and applications. The design of the hinge structure ensures smooth and precise movement, making it suitable for various mechanical systems requiring synchronized movement in opposite directions. The inclusion of helical guiding surfaces and sliding mechanisms enhances the overall performance and reliability of the double-axis hinge structure, making it a valuable innovation in the field of mechanical engineering.
