Hinge assembly with roughened structure for electronic device
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11874708B2) discloses an electronic device with a unique hinge assembly design. The device includes at least one hinge assembly with a main body and two shafts, each shaft having an embedded portion with a roughened structure. Two bodies corresponding to the shafts have depressions where the embedded portions are fixed through the roughened structure, ensuring a secure connection. The inner wall of the depression is smooth, surrounding the embedded portion for stability.
Furthermore, the electronic device features additional elements such as housings with protrusions, covers, and a linkage structure like a gear set. The hinge assembly allows for rotation along parallel axes, with the embedded portion matching non-circular holes in the bodies. A wire sorting structure, possibly an elastic body, is also included for managing transmission wires between the bodies. The roughened structure on the embedded portion is described as a texture structure, enhancing grip and stability. Overall, the patent highlights a novel design for hinge assemblies in electronic devices, offering improved functionality and durability.
