[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is an axonometric view of the sliding device of the first embodiment, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Exploded diagram of the sliding device in the embodiment. The sliding device of this embodiment includes a movable part 100, a slide rail assembly 200 and a fixed part 300. The slide rail assembly 200 includes a slide plate 210, a first torsion spring 220, a block 230, a spring, a slide seat 250 and a connecting part 260. The slide plate 210 is slidably connected to the slide seat 250, and the slide plate 210 is located above the slide seat 250. The movable part 100 is located above the slide plate 210, and the movable part 100 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 210. The fixed connection method can be fixed by screw locking or riveting. The fixed part 300 is located below the slide seat 250, and the fixed part 300 is connected to the slide seat 250.

[0028] In order to realize the sliding connection between the slide plate 210 and the slide seat 250, a slide groove 251 is respectively provided at the front end and the rear end of the slide seat 250, and the slide groove 251 can be formed by an in-mold injection molding process. A slide edge 213 is respectively provided at the front end and the rear end of the slide plate 210, and the slide edge 213 can be formed by stamping. The slide edge 213 is inserted into the slide groove 251 and can slide along the slide groove 251. Thus, the slide plate 210 can slide in the left and right direction relative to the slide seat 250.

[0029] In another embodiment, the slide 210 may be provided with a slide groove 251, and the seat 250 may be provided with a slide edge 213, which is inserted into the slide groove 251. At this time, the slide 210 may also slide relative to the seat 250 in the left-right direction.

[0030] The slide plate 210 has two extreme positions relative to the slide seat 250, namely the first position (refer to Figure 1) and a second position (the extreme position where the slide plate 210 slides leftward relative to the slide seat 250), when the slide plate 210 is in the first position, the movable member 100 is in a retracted state, and when the slide plate 210 is in the second position, the movable member 100 is in an extended state.

[0031] In order to make the slide plate 210 automatically slide to the first position or the second position when the slide plate 210 is between the first position and the second position, the sliding device of this embodiment is provided with a spring. When the slide plate 210 is between the first position and the second position due to an external force, the spring is in a compressed state, thereby giving the slide plate 210 an elastic force toward the first position or the second position. When the external force disappears, the slide plate 210 reaches the first position or the second position under the action of the spring, at which time, the deformation of the spring is restored and the elastic force disappears. After the slide plate 210 oscillates back and forth between the first position and the second position, the kinetic energy is consumed and the slide plate 210 finally stays at the first position or the second position.

[0032] In this embodiment, the spring is a flat wire spring 240, and both ends of the flat wire spring 240 are bent to form a rivet ring, a first rivet hole is formed on the slide 250, and a second rivet hole is formed on the slide 210. After a rivet passes through a rivet ring and the first rivet hole in sequence, one end of the flat wire spring 240 is riveted to the slide 250. After another rivet passes through the rivet ring and the second rivet hole in sequence, the other end of the flat wire spring 240 is riveted to the slide 210. After riveting, the two ends of the flat wire spring 240 can be rotated relative to the slide 250 and the slide 210, respectively, so that the direction of the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 can be changed from left to right, or from right to left. The direction of the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 depends on the position of the slide 210.

[0033] When the slide plate 210 is between the first position and the second position, the flat wire spring 240 is compressed, and the flat wire spring 240 gives an elastic force to the slide plate 210. When the slide plate 210 is between the first position and the second position, the direction to which the flat wire spring 240 pushes the slide plate 210 next depends on the direction of the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240. Generally speaking, when the slide plate 210 is closer to the first position, the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 is to the right, and the flat wire spring 240 pushes the slide plate 210 to the first position, and when the slide plate 210 is closer to the second position, the elastic force of the flat wire spring 240 is to the left, and the flat wire spring 240 pushes the slide plate 210 to the second position.

[0034] In another embodiment, the spring may also use a second torsion spring, one end of which is rotatably connected to the slide plate 210 via a rivet, and the other end of the second torsion spring is rotatably connected to the slide seat 250 via a rivet. The elastic force provided by the second torsion spring is similar to that of the flat wire spring 240.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3, when the slide plate 210 moves in the first direction (the first direction is the right direction, that is, when the slide plate 210 slides to the first position), the slide seat 250 can buffer and limit the slide plate 210, and a first torsion spring 220 and a stopper 230 are provided. The slide plate 210 is provided with a third through hole 212 that penetrates from top to bottom, and a third rotating shaft 211 is provided in the third through hole 212 (two hanging ears are provided on the slide plate 210, one in front and one in the back, and the two hanging ears are provided with a sixth through hole. After the third rotating shaft 211 is passed through the sixth through hole, a clamping spring is clamped at the front and rear ends of the third rotating shaft 211 respectively, so as to be connected to the slide plate 210), and the first torsion spring 220 is sleeved on the third rotating shaft 211. The stopper 230 includes a first arm and a second arm, the first arm and the second arm are integrally provided, a fourth through hole is provided between the first arm and the second arm, and the third rotating shaft 211 is passed through the fourth through hole. The upper end of the first torsion spring 220 abuts against the slide plate 210, and the lower end of the first torsion spring 220 bends forward and abuts against the second arm of the stopper 230. Thus, the lower end of the first torsion spring 220 applies a rightward force to the second arm of the stopper 230.

[0036] When the slide plate 210 slides to the first position, the left end of the slide plate 210 gradually approaches the left end of the slide seat 250, and the second arm of the stopper 230 also gradually approaches the left end of the slide seat 250 until it contacts the left end of the slide seat 250. After the second arm of the stopper 230 contacts the left end of the slide seat 250, the stopper 230 overcomes the force of the first torsion spring 220 and rotates clockwise (refer to Figure 2 , observed from the front to the back), the first torsion spring 220 gradually opens, and the kinetic energy of the slide plate 210 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the first torsion spring 220, which plays a buffering role. Afterwards, the elastic potential energy of the first torsion spring 220 is further converted into the kinetic energy of the slide plate 210 (at this time, the slide plate 210 moves to the left), and finally, the kinetic energy of the slide plate 210 is completely converted into heat energy (the slide plate 210 and the slide seat 250 do friction work), and the slide plate 210 stops moving.

[0037] In addition, since the movable member 100 is fixed on the upper surface of the slide plate 210, when the stopper 230 rotates counterclockwise under the action of the first torsion spring 220 (refer to Figure 2 , viewed from the front to the back), the second arm of the stopper 230 will pass through the third through hole 212 and abut against the movable member 100. At this time, the stopper 230 no longer rotates in the counterclockwise direction (refer to Figure 2 , viewed from front to back), thereby preventing the first torsion spring 220 from being disengaged from the abutment with the second arm of the stopper 230.

[0038] In another implementation, the first torsion spring 220 may be removed, and the stopper 230 and the third rotating shaft 211 are interference fit, that is, the stopper 230 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 210, and other configurations are the same as the sliding device of the first embodiment. In this case, the stopper 230 only has a limiting function.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Axonometric view of the middle connecting member 260, Figure 5 yes Figure 1 Front view of the middle sliding device, Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The cross-sectional view along section AA in the figure is as follows: Figure 7 yes Figure 6 An enlarged schematic diagram of the middle I area. In order to prevent the movable member 100 from scratching the fixed member 300 during the sliding process relative to the fixed member 300, and at the same time, to maintain the compactness of the structure of the sliding device, a connecting member 260 is provided. The right end of the connecting member 260 is rotatably connected to the fixed member 300, and the rotation axis of the connecting member 260 and the fixed member 300 is the first axis; the left end of the connecting member 260 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 250, and the rotation axis of the connecting member 260 and the sliding seat 250 is the second axis. The first axis is parallel to the second axis and is arranged at intervals.

[0040] Therefore, when the movable part 100 needs to slide relative to the fixed part 300, the slide 250 is moved away from the fixed part 300, and the motion trajectory of the slide 250 relative to the fixed part 300 is a semicircular arc; after the slide 250 is moved away from the fixed part 300, the movable part 100 is also moved away from the fixed part 300, and at this time, the movable part 100 can be slid relative to the fixed part 300, and there is a gap between the movable part 100 and the fixed part 300, so the fixed part 300 is not easily scratched. When the movable part 100 does not need to slide relative to the fixed part 300, the slide 250 is moved close to the fixed part 300, and the motion trajectory of the slide 250 relative to the fixed part 300 is also a semicircular arc. When the slide 250 is close to the fixed part 300, the movable part 100 is also close to the fixed part 300, and the entire structure is compact and the thickness of the sliding device is small.

[0041] Specifically, the connecting member 260 has a first through hole 261 and a second through hole 262 arranged in parallel along the front-to-back direction, and the second through hole 262 is located on the left side of the first through hole 261. The fixing member 300 is provided with a first rotating shaft 320 (refer to Figure 7 ), the first rotating shaft 320 is inserted into the first through hole 261, and the first rotating shaft 320 and the first through hole 261 are in clearance fit, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the connecting member 260 and the fixing member 300, wherein the axis of the first rotating shaft 320 (or the axis of the first through hole 261) is the above-mentioned first axis. The slide seat 250 is provided with a second rotating shaft 252, and the second rotating shaft 252 is inserted into the second through hole 262, and the second rotating shaft 252 and the second through hole 262 are in clearance fit, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the connecting member 260 and the slide seat 250, wherein the axis of the second rotating shaft 252 (or the axis of the second through hole 262) is the above-mentioned second axis.

[0042] In another embodiment, a fourth rotating shaft may be provided at the right end of the connecting member 260, a fifth through hole may be provided on the fixing member 300, and the fourth rotating shaft may pass through the fifth through hole, thereby realizing the rotation connection between the connecting member 260 and the fixing member 300. The connecting member 260 and the sliding seat 250 are similar.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 In order to reduce the thickness of the sliding device, a first groove 310 is provided on the upper surface of the fixed member 300, and the slide seat 250 is placed in the first groove 310. A second groove 110 is provided on the lower surface of the movable member 100, and the slide plate 210 is placed in the second groove 110. Therefore, after the movable member 100, the slide plate 210, the slide seat 250 and the fixed member 300 are stacked from top to bottom, a part of the slide plate 210 is located in the movable member 100, and a part of the slide seat 250 is located in the fixed member 300, and the overall thickness of the sliding device can be reduced.

[0044] The present invention also relates to an electronic device, which includes the above-mentioned sliding device, a part of the electronic device is fixed on the movable part 100, and another part of the electronic device is fixed on the fixed part 300. As a result, the two parts of the electronic device can slide relative to each other, and the fixed part 300 is not easily scratched, thereby improving the user experience and enhancing the competitiveness of the electronic product. In specific applications, the electronic device can be a slider phone, a slider watch or a slider camera, wherein the parts of these electronic devices that need to slide, such as the display screen of the slider phone, the dial of the slider watch or the lens cover of the slider camera, are fixedly connected to the movable part, and the other parts are fixedly connected to the fixed part, so that the display screen of the slider phone is slidable, the dial of the slider phone is slidable, and the lens cover of the slider camera is used to protect the lens when the lens is not in use.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
