Transmission mechanism for dual-shaft hinge

摘要

A transmission mechanism including a first shaft and a second shaft extending rotatably through a first positioning plate and a second positioning plate. The second positioning plate is spaced apart from the first positioning plate. A first gear is mounted on the first shaft between the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate, and has a first helical tooth portion. A second gear is mounted on the second shaft between the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate, and has a second helical tooth portion having a same tooth profile and helix angle as the first helical tooth portion. A middle gear is located between the first gear and the second gear and has a transmitting helical tooth portion engaging the first helical tooth portion and the second helical tooth portion. The middle gear rotates about an axis perpendicular with the first shaft and the second shaft.

1. A transmission mechanism for dual shaft hinge, comprising:
a first shaft connected to a first mounting plate at one end and fitted to at least one positioning plate, a concave washer and a first convex washer at the other end; a second shaft connected to a second mounting plate at one end and fitted to the positioning plate, the concave washer and a second convex washer at the other end; a first gear mounted on the first shaft, located between the positioning plate and the concave washer and having a first helical tooth portion, the first helical tooth portion has a first tooth profile and a first helix angle; a second gear mounted on the second shaft, located between the positioning plate and the concave washer and having a second helical tooth portion, the second helical tooth portion having a second tooth profile and a second helix angle, the second tooth profile and a second helix angle of the second helical tooth portion are the same as the first tooth profile and the first helix angle of the first helical tooth portion; and a middle gear located between and directly engaging the first gear and the second gear and having a transmitting helical tooth portion engaging the first helical tooth portion and the second helical tooth portion, wherein the concave washer has a first hole for the first shaft extending therethrough, a second hole for the second shaft extending therethrough and two tabs protruding from the washer forming a clip slot to hold the middle gear, the middle gear rotates about a middle axis located perpendicular to a first axis of the first shaft and a second axis of the second shaft, the first axis of the first shaft and the second axis of the second shaft are parallel; wherein a pin is axially inserted through the middle gear, the first shaft is located parallel to the second shaft, the pin is located perpendicular to the first shaft and the second shaft, the middle axis of the middle gear is located perpendicular to the first axis of the first gear and the second axis of the second gear.
