Abstract

A synchronous hinge module includes a first axle, a second axle, a third axle, a fourth axle, at least one central frame, at least two connecting bases, a plurality of first baffle plates, at least two side frames, and a plurality of second baffle plates. The at least one central frame is disposed around the first axle and the second axle. The at least two connecting bases are engaged with two opposite ends of the at least one central frame respectively. The plurality of first baffle plates is respectively disposed around the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle. Each of the first baffle plates extends outside each of the at least two connecting bases and the at least one central frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A synchronous hinge module, comprising:
a first axle;
a second axle, parallel to the first axle;
a third axle, adjacent to the first axle;
a fourth axle, adjacent to the second axle;
at least one central frame, encircling the first axle and the second axle;
at least two connecting bases, respectively encircling the third axle and the fourth axle and respectively engaged with two opposite ends of the at least one central frame;
a plurality of first baffle plates, respectively encircling the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle, wherein each of the first baffle plates extends outside each of the at least two connecting bases and the at least one central frame;
at least two side frames, respectively encircling the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle and engaged with each other; and
a plurality of second baffle plates, encircling the first axle and the second axle, wherein each of the second baffle plates extends outside the at least two side frames,
wherein each of the at least two side frames comprises an interlocking tooth portion, the at least two interlocking tooth portions mesh with each other.

2. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 1 , wherein the two ends of the at least one central frame respectively comprise a fixed tooth portion, each of the at least two connecting bases comprises a planetary tooth portion, each of the planetary tooth portions meshes with the corresponding fixed tooth portions.

3. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 1 , wherein the first baffle plates sandwich the corresponding at least one central frame and the at least two connecting bases.

4. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 1 , further comprising a central torsion member, encircling the first axle and the second axle and abutting the corresponding first baffle plates and one of the second baffle plates.

5. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 1 , further comprising two auxiliary torsion members, respectively encircling the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle, and respectively abutting the corresponding first baffle plates.

6. A synchronous hinge module, comprising:
a first axle;
a second axle, parallel to the first axle;
a third axle, adjacent to the first axle;
a fourth axle, adjacent to the second axle;
at least one central frame, encircling the first axle and the second axle;
at least two connecting bases, respectively encircling the third axle and the fourth axle and respectively engaged with two opposite ends of the at least one central frame;
a plurality of first baffle plates, respectively disposed on the third axle and the fourth axle, wherein each of the first baffle plates extends outside each of the at least two connecting bases;
at least two side frames, respectively encircling the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle and engaged with each other;
a plurality of second baffle plates, encircling the first axle and the second axle, wherein each of the second baffle plates extends outside the at least one central frame; and
a lateral protective plate, encircling the first axle and the second axle and partially covering the at least two side frames and the at least one central frame.

7. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , wherein the second baffle plates sandwich the at least one central frame, and each of the first baffle plates and the corresponding second baffle plates overlap each other.

8. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , wherein a portion of the first baffle plates are respectively formed on the corresponding at least two connecting bases.

9. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , wherein the lateral protective plate comprises a positioning portion and two blocking portions, the positioning portion encircles the first axle and the second axle, the two blocking portions are oppositely disposed on the positioning portion, and the two blocking portions are located in parallel on two opposite outer sides of the at least one central frame and the at least two side frames.

10. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 9 , wherein each of the blocking portions is fixed to the at least one central frame.

11. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , wherein the two ends of the at least one central frame respectively comprise a fixed tooth portion, each of the at least two connecting bases comprises a planetary tooth portion, and each of the planetary tooth portions meshes with the corresponding fixed tooth portions.

12. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , wherein each of the at least two side frames comprises an interlocking tooth portion, and the at least two interlocking tooth portions mesh with each other.

13. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , further comprising a central torsion member, encircling the first axle and the second axle.

14. The synchronous hinge module according to claim 6 , further comprising two auxiliary torsion members, respectively encircling the first axle, the third axle and the second axle, the fourth axle, wherein the lateral protective plate partially covers the two auxiliary torsion members.
