Routing flexible printed circuit board through hinge of electronic device

Номер: US20120011683A9

Автор: David K.J. Kim

Принадлежит: Kyocera Corp

A hinge is configured for routing electrical wiring therein. The hinge includes a pair of opposing bosses aligned along a rotational axis and a hollow portion having ends respectively engaging the bosses. The hollow portion is rotatable about the rotational axis, relative to the bosses. Wiring, such as a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) has a portion thereof inserted into the hollow portion. A rod is inserted into the hollow portion and aligned along the rotational axis. The rod fixes the inserted portion of the wiring in a neutral position, and thus, reduces wear and tear on the wiring caused by the hinge action.

The switching control unit is used for eliminating a friction that enables the main body part to be fixed relative to the movable part fixed to turn on a rotation mode of the movable part. The rotation driver unit is used for applying a pre-pressing elastic force to the movable part when the switching control unit turns on the rotation mode of the movable part, so as to enable the movable part to automatically rotate relative to the main body part. The pre-pressing elastic force is less than the friction.
