The invention discloses a folding mechanism and
electronic equipment, and belongs to the field of communication equipment. The folding mechanism comprises a base part, a first shell base, a second shell base, a first screen supporting plate, a
second screen supporting plate and a third screen supporting plate, the first shell base is rotationally arranged on the first screen supporting plate, the second shell base is rotationally arranged on the
second screen supporting plate, the third screen supporting plate is movably connected with the base part in the supporting direction of the third screen supporting plate; the first shell base is rotatably connected with the base part through a first swing arm, the second shell base is rotatably connected with the base part through a second swing arm, the first screen supporting plate is slidably and rotatably connected with the base part through a third swing arm, and the
second screen supporting plate is slidably and rotatably connected with the base part through a fourth swing arm, the rotating axes of the first swing arm and the third swing arm are arranged at intervals, and the rotating axes of the second swing arm and the fourth swing arm are arranged at intervals. The folding mechanism can prevent the bending part of the flexible screen from being extruded to be excessively bent, and the service life of the flexible screen can be prolonged.
