Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, and in particular to a mobile terminal with a foldable flexible display screen. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, foldable flexible display mobile terminals (such as mobile phones and tablets with foldable flexible displays) have gradually appeared in people's work and life. However, these foldable flexible display mobile terminals currently do not have integrated mechanical keyboards. Mechanical keyboards have obvious tactile sensations during use and can be typed blindly, playing an irreplaceable role. Flexible displays need to be folded repeatedly for use, and the flexible display area near the folding axis will also have creases or warping problems due to the small angle after bending, affecting the look and feel. Summary of the invention
[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art during use, the present invention can be equipped with an integrated mechanical keyboard when using a mobile terminal with a foldable flexible display screen. When the flexible display screen is folded, it needs to wrap the mechanical keyboard which has a certain thickness after folding, so that the angle after bending becomes larger, thereby reducing the problem of creases or warping.
[0004] As a further improvement, the mobile terminal with a foldable flexible display screen with a mechanical keyboard is characterized in that the flexible display screen is divided into a left non-foldable display screen, a right non-foldable display screen and a middle bendable display screen, and the left non-foldable display screen and the right non-foldable display screen can be folded symmetrically toward each other toward the inside of the flexible display screen through the middle bendable display screen.
[0005] As a further improvement, the mobile terminal with a foldable flexible display screen with a mechanical keyboard is characterized in that: a hinge is provided on the lower side of the left non-foldable display screen, which is connected to the left bottom plate through the hinge; a hinge is also provided on the lower side of the right non-foldable display screen, which is connected to the right bottom plate through the hinge; and symmetrical horizontal sliding grooves are provided on the left bottom plate and the right bottom plate.
[0006] As a further improvement, the mobile terminal with a mechanical keyboard and a foldable flexible display screen is characterized in that: a left-side keyboard is provided on the slide groove of the left-side block bottom plate, the left-side block keyboard can slide left and right on the slide groove of the left-side block bottom plate, the left side of the left-side block keyboard can be against the left side of the left-side block bottom plate, a right-side keyboard is provided on the slide groove of the right-side block bottom plate, the right-side block keyboard can slide left and right on the slide groove of the right-side block bottom plate, the right side of the right-side block keyboard can be against the right side of the right-side block bottom plate, the single-block width of the left and right bottom plates is equivalent to the width of the non-foldable display screen on one side, the single-block width of the left and right keyboards is slightly smaller than the single-block bottom plate, the thickness of the left and right keyboards is symmetrical, the thickness of the left and right bottom plates is symmetrical, and the unfolded flexible display screen can be folded toward the keyboard.
[0007] As a further improvement, the mobile terminal with a mechanical keyboard and a foldable flexible display screen is characterized in that: a left screw and a right screw are symmetrically installed on the left and right hinges, and the threads of the left screw and the right screw rotate in opposite directions. When the flexible display screen rotates with respect to the bottom plate, the left screw and the right screw can be driven by the hinge to rotate in the same direction and cannot move. A rack is provided on the upper side of the left keyboard and the right keyboard, and the teeth of the racks on both sides are respectively engaged with the threads on the left screw and the right screw. When the left screw and the right screw rotate, they respectively push the two The side racks drive the left and right keyboards to do reciprocating left and right motions in the slide grooves on the left and right bottom plates. When the flexible display screen rotates upward to open, it drives the left and right screws to rotate and push the racks on both sides. The racks link the left and right keyboards to slide inward and merge into a whole keyboard. The flexible display screen continues to rotate upward, and a thrust in the opposite direction is generated between the left and right keyboards that are pressed together. The thrust is transmitted to the flexible display screen through the hinges with the left and right screws, making it stretch more flat.
[0008] As a further improvement, the mobile terminal with a foldable flexible display screen with a mechanical keyboard is characterized in that: the width of the middle foldable display screen is equivalent to the sum of the thickness of the left bottom plate with the left keyboard and the right bottom plate with the right keyboard, and when the flexible display screen is folded downward, the left screw and the right screw are driven to rotate, and then the rack is pushed by the threads on the left screw and the right screw to separate the left keyboard and the right keyboard, so as to facilitate the folding of the flexible display screen. After folding, the flexible display screen wraps the left and right bottom plates and the left and right keyboards after folding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. Figure 1-Figure 5 .
[0015] This embodiment includes: a flexible display screen (1), a bendable display screen (101), a left non-bendable display screen (102), a right non-bendable display screen (103), a left keyboard block (2), a right keyboard block (3), a left bottom plate (4), a right bottom plate (5), a hinge (6), a left screw rod (601), a right screw rod (602), a rack (7), and a slide groove (8).
[0016] When the present invention is opened for use, the left non-bendable display screen (102) and the right non-bendable display screen (103) of the flexible display screen (1) are unfolded to the same plane, and the left bottom plate (4) provided with the left keyboard block (2) and the right bottom plate (5) provided with the right keyboard block (3) are also unfolded to the same plane. When the flexible display screen (1) is rotated upward to open, the threads on the left screw rod (601) and the right screw rod (602) provided on the hinge (6) are rotated to push the racks (7) on both sides to drive the left keyboard block (2) and the right keyboard block (3) to slide inward at the same time, so that the left keyboard block (2) and the right keyboard block (3) are combined into a whole keyboard. The flexible display screen (1) continues to rotate upward, and a thrust in the opposite direction is generated between the left keyboard block (2) and the right keyboard block (3) pressed together. The thrust is transmitted to the flexible display screen (1) through the hinge (6) provided with the left screw rod (601) and the right screw rod (602), so that the flexible display screen (1) is stretched to become more flat.
[0017] The folding method of the present invention comprises rotating the flexible display screen (1) downward so that it is folded toward the keyboard, and rotating the threads on the left screw rod (601) and the right screw rod (602) on the hinge (6) to push the racks (7) on both sides to drive the left keyboard block (2) and the right keyboard block (3) to slide outwards respectively, until the left side of the left keyboard block (2) abuts against the left side of the left bottom plate (4), and the right side of the right keyboard block (3) abuts against the right side of the right bottom plate (5), and the flexible display screen (1) is folded inwards. During the folding process, the flexible display screen (1) wraps around the left and right bottom plates and the left and right keyboards after folding.
[0018] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
