Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to electronic equipment components, and in particular to a hinge device, a hinge mechanism and a mobile terminal. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement and expansion of technology in the field of mobile terminals, and the advent of the 5G network era, people are becoming more and more dependent on mobile terminals. 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 the above requirements, the key lies in whether the design of the hinge mechanism is reasonable.

[0004] At present, the hinge mechanism of the mobile terminal with folding screen often needs to design different mechanical components to meet the requirements in order to achieve synchronous flipping, damping feel, etc. in a limited space. 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 accommodation space for the folding part of the flexible screen. It is precisely because of the need to increase the accommodation space that the flip angle of the flip component in the closed state of the hinge needs to be increased during design. However, due to the width limitation of the mounting base, two sections of sliding are often required on a flip part of the flip component. Even with the design of two-section sliding, there may be a state in which the flip part is temporarily separated from the mounting base in the closed state. With the use of the mobile terminal, this temporary separation state may cause the problem and risk of the flip part interfering and unable to return to its original position. At the same time, when the two ends slide, due to the angle relationship, the section close to the mounting base will bulge outward, causing the width of the hinge mechanism to be determined by the width of the bulged section. This also directly leads to the problem that the hinge mechanism of the mobile terminal with folding screen can no longer reduce the width. Summary of the invention
