Nowadays, with the continuous updating of various chat, video and other software, people feel that conventional touch screen phones or tablets are no longer enough, mainly because the size of the screen is limited by the size of the mobile terminal.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, people invented flexible screens and applied them to mobile terminals. Through the folding design, the mobile terminal can meet people's requirements for portability and can expand the screen of the mobile terminal by unfolding when needed.

In order to achieve synchronous flipping and damping feel in a limited space, different mechanical components are often needed to meet the requirements. At the same time, these mechanical components occupy a large amount of installation space. At the same time, when the hinge mechanism is closed, the hinge mechanism needs to provide a storage space for the folding part of the folding screen. If the storage space is too small, it is easy to cause the hinge mechanism and the folding part to be squeezed and collided, thereby affecting the service life of the folding screen.
