Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic equipment and a control method. Background Art

[0002] As the performance of electronic devices continues to develop, more and more users are using electronic devices with foldable functions.

[0003] In the related art, the opening and closing of electronic devices with folding functions are generally achieved by magnet attraction or mechanical snap-on. Both methods require the user to manually open the electronic device from the folded state to the unfolded state. For the magnet attraction method, the user needs to use a force that meets certain conditions to unfold the electronic device with the folding function. For the mechanical snap-on method, the user needs to manually release the snap-on to unfold the electronic device with the folding function.

[0004] However, for the magnetic attraction method, if the user unfolds the electronic device with a folding function with a small force, it is easy to attract repeatedly; for the mechanical buckle method, its service life is limited and it is easy to malfunction and cause the buckle to fail. As a result, the electronic device with a folding function is inconvenient to operate and affects the human-computer interaction performance. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application aims to provide an electronic device and a control method to solve the technical problems in the related art that the electronic device is inconvenient to operate and affects the human-computer interaction performance.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0016] Wherein, when the driving unit is in the first state, the connecting module is in a connecting state, so that the first housing and the second housing are in a folded state;

[0017] When the driving unit is in the second state, the driving unit drives the connecting module to be in a separated state, so that the first housing and the second housing rotate relatively.

[0018] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application comprises: a first housing, a second housing rotatably connected to the first housing, and a driving unit; the driving unit is connected to a connection module; wherein, when the driving unit is in a first state, the connection module is in a connection state, so that the first housing and the second housing are in a folded state; when the driving unit is in a second state, the driving unit drives the connection module to be in a separated state, so that the first housing and the second housing rotate relative to each other. Thus, when the first housing and the second housing are in a folded state, when the user needs to unfold the first housing and the second housing, the connection module can be directly driven by the driving unit to be in a separated state, so that the first housing can rotate relative to the second housing, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of repeated suction between the first housing and the second housing during the unfolding process, making the operation of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application more convenient and improving the human-computer interaction performance.

[0037] The electronic device provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figures 1 to 6 A possible structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device comprises: a first housing 100, a second housing 200 and a driving unit 400. The second housing 200 is rotatably connected to the first housing; and the driving unit 400 is connected to the connecting module 300.

[0040] When the driving unit 400 is in the first state, the connecting module 300 is in the connecting state, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the folding state.

[0041] When the driving unit 400 is in the second state, the driving unit 400 can drive the connecting module 300 to be in a separated state, so that the first housing 100 can rotate relative to the second housing 200 .

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device has a folding screen, or the display screen of the electronic device is a flexible screen, or at least the area of ​​the display screen of the electronic device corresponding to the rotational connection side is a flexible screen.

[0043] It can be understood that the second housing includes a first side and a second side, the first side of the second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing, and the second side of the second housing is connected to the first housing via a connecting module.

[0044] That is, the first side of the second housing is rotatably connected to the first side of the first housing (for example, hinged by a hinge). The second side of the second housing is connected to the second side of the first housing via a connecting module, and the second side of the second housing is not on the same side as the first side of the second housing, and the second side of the first housing is not on the same side as the first side of the first housing.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the side where the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are rotatably connected is the rotation connection side 101 .

[0046] The first housing 100 being rotatable relative to the second housing 200 means that the first housing 100 can rotate around the second housing 200 with the second housing 200 as a reference, or the second housing 200 can rotate around the first housing 100 with the first housing 100 as a reference.

[0047] It can be understood that, when the user does not need to unfold the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, Figure 1 As shown, the connection module 300 is in a connected state, and the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in a folded state, that is, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can fit each other.

[0048] It can be understood that when the user wants to unfold the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, Figure 2 As shown, the driving unit 400 can drive the connecting module 300 to be in a separated state, so that the first housing 100 can rotate relative to the second housing 200, and then the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be unfolded.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the connection modules 300 may be one or more.

[0050] It should be noted that the connection module 300 can be arranged at the side of the housing where the connection module 300 is located, at a position close to the edge of the side, or at the end of the side. The housing where the connection module 300 is located is: a housing where the connection module 300 is arranged.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may be in the same shape, such as a rectangle, a square, or a circle. The first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may also be in different shapes.

[0052] Exemplarily, when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 have the same shape, the positional relationship between the connecting module 300 and the rotating connecting side 101 is described below by taking the first housing 100 as an example.

[0053] In one example, if the first housing 100 is rectangular, the connection module 300 can be disposed on a side of the first housing 100 adjacent to or opposite to the rotation connection side 101. If there are multiple connection modules 300, all connection modules 300 can be disposed on the same side or on different sides.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first housing 100 and the second housing are both rectangular, the number of the connecting module 300 is one, and the connecting module 300 is arranged on a side opposite to the rotating connecting side 101 and is arranged opposite to the rotating connecting side 101 .

[0055] It can be understood that the connection module 300 includes two parts, which are respectively arranged in the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. The connection module 300 arranged in the first housing 100 is a first sub-module, and the connection module 300 arranged in the second housing 200 is a second sub-module.

[0056] The detachable connection method of the connection module 300 is described below in combination with different first sub-modules and second sub-modules.

[0057] It should be noted that the connection module 300 of the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following forms of the connection module 300, as long as the following conditions are met: when the driving unit 400 is in the first state, the connection module 300 is in the connection state, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the folded state. When the driving unit 400 is in the second state, the driving unit 400 can drive the connection module 300 to be in the separated state, so that the first housing 100 can rotate relative to the second housing 200.

[0058] In a possible example, the first submodule and the second submodule can attract each other, and the driving unit 400 can be connected to the first submodule or the second submodule. When the driving unit 400 is in the first state, the first submodule and the second submodule attract each other, so that the connecting module 300 is in a connected state. When the driving unit 400 is in the second state, under the drive of the driving unit 400, the attraction between the first submodule and the second submodule is zero, so that the connecting module 300 is in a separated state.

[0059] In another possible example, the first submodule may be provided with a groove, the second submodule may be provided with a movable rod, and the driving unit 400 may be in transmission connection with the movable rod. When the driving unit 400 is in the first state, the movable rod extends into the groove, so that the connecting module 300 is in the connected state. When the driving unit 400 is in the second state, under the drive of the driving unit 400, the movable rod is disengaged from the groove, so that the connecting module 300 is in the separated state.

[0060] In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the driving unit is in the first state, the connecting module is in the connecting state, so that the first housing and the second housing are in the folded state; when the driving unit is in the second state, the driving unit drives the connecting module to be in the separating state, so that the first housing can rotate relative to the second housing. Thus, when the first housing and the second housing are in the folded state, when the user needs to unfold the first housing and the second housing, the driving unit can directly drive the connecting module to be in the separating state, so that the first housing can rotate relative to the second housing, avoiding the phenomenon of repeated suction between the first housing and the second housing during the unfolding process. Therefore, the electronic device of the embodiment of the present application is convenient for user operation and improves the human-computer interaction performance.

[0061] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned connection module 300 includes: a fixed block 301 and a moving block 302; the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 are respectively arranged on the first housing 100 and the second housing 200; the driving unit 400 and the moving block are arranged in the same housing, and the driving unit includes a motor 410 and a transmission mechanism; the motor is connected to the moving block 302 through the transmission mechanism.

[0062] When the driving unit 400 is in the first state, the motor and the transmission mechanism are separated, the moving block 302 is in the first position and is opposite to the fixed block 301, so that the connecting module 300 is in the connected state;

[0063] When the driving unit 400 is in the second state, the motor and the transmission mechanism are connected, and the driving unit 400 drives the moving block 302 to move to the second position, so that the connecting module 300 is in a separated state.

[0064] It can be understood that the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 are respectively the first sub-module and the second sub-module mentioned above.

[0065] It can be understood that the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 are respectively arranged on the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, which means that the fixed block 301 is arranged on the first housing 100 and the moving block 302 is arranged on the second housing 200, or the fixed block 301 is arranged on the second housing 200 and the moving block 302 is arranged on the first housing 100.

[0066] It can be understood that the motor is separated from the transmission mechanism, which means that there is no connection between the motor and the transmission mechanism. That is, the motor and the transmission mechanism are not connected, and when the motor is working, the driving force of the motor cannot be transmitted to other structural parts through the transmission mechanism. The motor is connected to the transmission mechanism, which means that there is a mechanical connection between the motor and the transmission mechanism (for example, the motor and the transmission mechanism are attracted, or the motor and the transmission mechanism are connected through a certain structure (such as a connecting shaft)). When the motor is working, the driving force of the motor can be transmitted to other structural parts through the transmission mechanism.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, when the moving block 302 is in the first position, the moving block 302 is opposite to the fixed block 301 , which can be: when the moving block 302 is in the first position, the moving block 302 is opposite to the fixed block 301 .

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving unit 400 may be disposed on the same housing as the motion block, or may be disposed on a housing where the motion block 302 is not disposed.

[0069] Exemplarily, the drive unit 400 and the motion block 302 are both disposed on the first housing 100 (or the second housing 200), or the motion block 302 is disposed on the first housing 100 and the drive unit 400 is disposed on the second housing 200, or the motion block 302 is disposed on the second housing 200 and the drive unit 400 is disposed on the first housing 100.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the first position may be any position of the housing where the moving block 302 is located, such as the center.

[0071] For example, if the motion block 302 is disposed in the second housing 200 and the second housing 200 is rectangular, the first position may be any position on the side of the second housing 200 where the motion block 302 is located, such as the center of the side.

[0072] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned motor is a vibration motor. When the driving unit is in a first state, the vibration motor is multiplexed as a vibration function; when the driving unit is in a second state, the vibration motor is in a working state to provide driving force for the connection module.

[0073] It can be understood that the above-mentioned vibration motor can be a vibration motor used to realize the vibration function in the electronic device. When the driving unit is in the second state, the vibration motor can directly provide driving force to the connection module, so that the connection module switches from the connection state to the separation state. Therefore, there is no need to add a vibration motor to the electronic device, and only the original vibration motor in the electronic device can be reused, saving the space of the electronic device. The vibration motor can work alone, or reuse the vibration function of the entire electronic device.

[0074] Exemplarily, if the ringing mode of the electronic device is the vibration mode, when the driving unit is in the second state, that is, the vibration motor is in the working state and provides driving force to the connection module, if the electronic device receives an incoming call information, so that the ringing of the electronic device is started, the electronic device can synchronously turn on the ringing vibration function of the electronic device. When the ringing vibration function is turned on, the caller information can also be synchronously displayed on the display screen of the electronic device.

[0075] Optionally, the driving unit can also be implemented by other types of motors, such as a stepper motor, etc. The stepper motor can also have the vibration function of a vibration motor, that is, when the stepper motor is in the first state, the stepper motor is multiplexed as a vibration function; when the stepper motor is in the second state, the stepper motor is in a working state, providing driving force for the connection module.

[0076] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 can be attracted to each other; the electronic device further includes a hinge, and the first housing 100 rotates relative to the second housing 200 via the hinge.

[0077] When the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the folded state, the hinge is in an elastically deformed state.

[0078] When the moving block 302 is in the first position, the attraction force between the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 is greater than the elastic restoring force corresponding to the elastic deformation state.

[0079] When the driving unit 400 drives the moving block 302 to move to the second position, the attraction between the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 is smaller than the elastic restoring force, and driven by the elastic restoring force, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in an unfolded state.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the attraction between the fixed block and the moving block may be magnetic attraction, or may be connected by a mechanical buckle so that the fixed block and the moving block are attracted to each other. The mechanical buckle may be a buckle or a press buckle.

[0081] It can be understood that when the driving unit (such as a stepper motor or a vibration motor) drives the motion block to move, the driving unit is in the second state, and its main function is to drive, and the vibration function of the entire electronic device can also be reused. For example, when the driving unit drives the motion block to move, if the electronic device receives an incoming call information, the vibration function of the incoming call mode of the electronic device can be synchronously turned on through the driving unit.

[0082] It can be understood that when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in a folded state, the moving block 302 is in a first position, and the fixed block 301 is opposite to (for example, facing) the moving block 302. In this case, the attraction between the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 is the largest, and the attraction is greater than the elastic restoring force corresponding to the above-mentioned hinge in the above-mentioned elastic deformation state. In this way, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be firmly fastened together, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 remain in a folded state.

[0083] It can be understood that the above-mentioned second position is different from the first position.

[0084] When the user wants to unfold the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, since the driving unit is in transmission connection with the moving block 302, the driving unit 400 can drive the moving block 302 to deviate from the first position and move to the second position, so that in the second position, the attraction between the fixed block 301 and the moving block 302 is smaller than the elastic restoring force. Therefore, under the driving action of the elastic restoring force, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be automatically in the unfolded state, avoiding the phenomenon of repeated attraction between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 during the unfolding process.

[0085] Optionally, when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the unfolded state, the angle between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to a first preset value, wherein the first preset value may be 180 degrees.

[0086] For example, when the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are in the unfolded state, the angle between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 may be 180 degrees.

[0087] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the motor 410 is provided with a first magnetic component 412 , and the transmission mechanism includes a driving wheel 420 ; an electromagnetic component 422 is provided on a side of the driving wheel close to the first magnetic component 412 , and the driving wheel 420 is in transmission connection with the moving block 302 .

[0088] When the electromagnetic component is in the first energized state, the electromagnetic component is separated from the first magnetic component, so that the driving unit is in the first state.

[0089] When the electromagnetic component is in the second energized state, the electromagnetic component is attracted to the first magnetic component, so that the driving unit is in the second state.

[0090] It can be understood that when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the second energized state, the electromagnetic member 422 is attracted to the first magnetic member 412, and the motor drives the driving wheel 420 to drive the moving block 302 to move, so that the driving unit 400 is in the second state.

[0091] It can be understood that during the process of the electromagnetic member 422 and the first magnetic member 412 being attracted to each other, the driving wheel 420 moves toward the first magnetic member 412 .

[0092] It can be understood that when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the first energized state, the moving block 302 is in the first position, and when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the second energized state, the motor can drive the moving block 302 to move to the second position via the driving wheel 420 .

[0093] Exemplarily, the motor may be a vibration motor.

[0094] Exemplarily, the driving unit further includes a motor rotor 411 , and the motor 410 may be connected to the first magnetic member 412 via the motor rotor 411 .

[0095] It can be understood that when the electromagnetic component 422 is in the second power-on state, the above-mentioned motor can be in a working state, so that the motor rotor 411 can rotate, and the rotation of the motor rotor 411 drives the driving wheel 420 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving wheel 420 drives the moving block 302 to move.

[0096] Exemplarily, the electromagnetic component 422 may be an electromagnet.

[0097] In a possible example, the first power-on state may be a power-on state where the current of the electromagnetic component 422 is 0 (ie, a power-off state), and the second power-on state may be a power-on state where the current of the electromagnetic component 422 is greater than 0.

[0098] In this example, when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the power-off state (ie, the first power-on state), the electromagnetic member 422 has no magnetism, and the electromagnetic member 422 is separated from the first magnetic member 412 (see Figure 6 When the electromagnetic member 422 is in the second power-on state, the electromagnetic member 422 is magnetic and attracts the first magnetic member 412 (see Figure 5 ).

[0099] In another possible example, in the first power-on state and the second power-on state, the current direction of the electromagnetic member 422 is opposite.

[0100] In this example, in the first power-on state, the electromagnetic member 422 has a magnetism that repels the first magnetic member 412 (ie, the magnetism of the electromagnetic member 422 is the same as that of the first magnetic member 412), so that the electromagnetic member 422 is separated from the first magnetic member 412 (see Figure 6 ). In the second power-on state, the electromagnetic member 422 has a magnetism that attracts the first magnetic member 412 (i.e., the magnetism of the electromagnetic member 422 is opposite to that of the first magnetic member 412), so that the electromagnetic member 422 and the first magnetic member 412 are attracted to each other (see Figure 5 ).

[0101] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission rod 421 and a bearing 423; a chamber 426 is provided in the driving wheel, the bearing is provided in the chamber, and the driving wheel 420 is movably connected to the transmission rod through the bearing; a first elastic member 424 is provided in the chamber, one end of the first elastic member is fixed on the bearing, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the chamber.

[0102] Wherein, when the electromagnetic member is in the first energized state, the first elastic member is in the initial state;

[0103] When the electromagnetic member is in the second energized state, the first elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0104] Exemplarily, the transmission rod may pass through the above-mentioned chamber.

[0105] Exemplarily, the bearing 423 may be a rolling bearing, and the number of the bearings may be one or more.

[0106] Exemplarily, when the driving wheel 420 moves along the transmission rod 421 toward the first magnetic member 412 , the bearing 423 may move synchronously with the driving wheel 420 , or the bearing 423 may be fixed on the transmission rod 421 .

[0107] It can be understood that, among the inner walls of the above-mentioned chamber 426 , the inner wall of the chamber 426 away from the transmission rod 421 is in contact with the bearing 423 , and at the same time, the driving wheel 420 can move axially along the transmission rod 421 along the bearing 423 , and the driving wheel 420 can rotate around the transmission rod 421 through the bearing 423 .

[0108] It can be understood that when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the first energized state, the first elastic member 424 is in the initial state. When the electromagnetic member 422 is in the second energized state, the first elastic member 424 is in the compressed state.

[0109] It can be understood that along the axial direction of the transmission rod 421 , the depth of the chamber 426 is greater than the width of the bearing 423 , so that during the attraction between the electromagnetic component 422 and the first magnetic component 412 , the driving wheel 420 can move along the transmission rod 421 toward the first magnetic component 412 .

[0110] Exemplarily, the first elastic member 424 being in the initial state means that the first elastic member 424 is not deformed, or the deformation degree of the first elastic member 424 is smaller than the deformation degree corresponding to the above-mentioned compression state.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, when the electromagnetic component 422 is in the first power-on state, the first elastic component 424 is in the initial state, and the driving wheel 420 is in the initial position. When the user wants to unfold the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, the electromagnetic component 422 is switched from the first power-on state to the second power-on state, so that the driving wheel 420 moves toward the first magnetic component 412. During the movement, the first elastic component 424 is compressed and deformed, and drives the moving block 302 to move to the second position during the movement, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be unfolded.

[0112] When the electromagnetic component 422 switches from the second energized state to the first energized state (for example, the electromagnetic component 422 switches from the energized state to the de-energized state), the drive wheel 420 can be restored to its initial position under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic component 424, so that the electromagnetic component 422 is separated from the first magnetic component 412, that is, the drive wheel 420 is separated from the motor rotor 411.

[0113] Exemplarily, the number of the first elastic member 424 may be one or more. If there are multiple first elastic members 424 , the multiple first elastic members 424 may be evenly arranged along a circumference of the transmission rod 421 .

[0114] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the electromagnetic member 422 being in a first energized state, Figure 6 In the embodiment, the left side of the bearing is in contact with the left side of the inner wall of the chamber, and the first elastic member is in an uncompressed initial state. When the user wants to unfold the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, the control unit can control the electromagnetic member 422 to switch from the first power-on state to the second power-on state, such as Figure 5 As shown, the driving wheel 420 will move toward the first magnetic member 412 on the left side. During the movement, the first elastic member 424 is compressed and deformed, and there is a gap between the left side of the bearing and the left side of the inner wall of the chamber. Thus, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are unfolded.

[0115] After the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are unfolded, when the electromagnetic member 422 switches from the second energized state to the first energized state, the driving wheel 420 can move rightward to return to the initial position under the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 424. Figure 5 The status shown is switched to Figure 6 Status shown.

[0116] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The transmission mechanism further includes a winding 303; the winding is wound around the moving block 302; the first end of the winding is fixed to the driving wheel, and the second end of the winding is fixed to the housing in the direction from the moving block to the driving wheel.

[0117] When the electromagnetic component is in the second energized state, the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and during the rotation, the winding is driven to wind around the driving wheel. During the process of the winding winding around the driving wheel, the moving block approaches the driving wheel, so that the moving block moves to the second position.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving unit 400 and the moving block 302 are disposed on the same housing, that is, the driving unit 400 and the moving block 302 are both disposed on the first housing 100 , or the driving unit 400 and the moving block 302 are both disposed on the second housing 200 .

[0119] When the electromagnetic component 422 is in the second energized state, the driving wheel 420 rotates along the transmission rod 421, and during the rotation, the winding 303 is driven to be wound around the driving wheel 420. During the winding of the winding 303 around the driving wheel 420, the moving block 302 approaches the driving wheel 420, so that the moving block 302 moves to the second position.

[0120] It can be understood that the middle part between the first end and the second end of the winding wire 303 is wound around the moving block 302. Therefore, during the rotation of the driving wheel 420, the moving block 302 can be driven to approach the driving wheel 420.

[0121] Exemplarily, the number of turns of the winding wire 303 around the moving block 302 is less than one turn, so that the moving block 302 can be driven to move during the rotation of the driving wheel 420 .

[0122] For example, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second end of the winding 303 can be fixed on the housing between the moving block 302 and the driving wheel 420.

[0123] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The outer periphery of the driving wheel 420 is provided with a first limiting groove 425 for limiting the winding 303 , and the first end of the winding 303 is fixed in the first limiting groove 425 .

[0124] Exemplarily, the first limiting groove 425 can be located at any position of the driving wheel 420, for example, at the end of the driving wheel 420, or at the middle part of the driving wheel 420. The first limiting groove 425 can prevent the winding 303 from escaping from the first limiting groove 425, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0125] Exemplarily, when the driving wheel 420 is in the above-mentioned initial position (i.e., the electromagnetic member 422 is in the first energized state), the winding 303 between the driving wheel 420 and the moving block 302 is respectively perpendicular to the driving wheel 420 and the moving block 302, thereby facilitating the driving wheel 420 to quickly drive the moving block 302 to move.

[0126] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer periphery of the moving block 302 is provided with a second limiting groove 304 for limiting the winding 303 , and the winding 303 wound on the moving block 302 is located in the second limiting groove 304 .

[0127] Exemplarily, the second limiting groove 304 may be located at any position of the moving block 302 , for example, at an end of the moving block 302 , or at a middle portion of the moving block 302 .

[0128] Exemplarily, the width of the second limiting groove 304 is greater than the width of the first limiting groove 425, so that when the driving wheel 420 reciprocates along the axial direction of the transmission rod 421, the winding 303 wound on the moving block 302 can always be located in the second limiting groove 304, preventing the winding 303 from escaping from the second limiting groove 304. The reliability of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application is further guaranteed.

[0129] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting module 300 further includes a second elastic member 305 ; one end of the second elastic member 305 is fixed to the housing provided with the moving block 302 , and the other end is connected to a side of the moving block 302 away from the driving wheel 420 .

[0130] When the electromagnetic member 422 is in the first energized state, the second elastic member 305 is in the initial state.

[0131] When the electromagnetic member 422 is in the second energized state, the second elastic member 305 is in a stretched state.

[0132] Exemplarily, the second elastic member 305 being in the initial state means that the second elastic member 305 is not deformed, or the deformation degree of the second elastic member 305 is smaller than the deformation degree corresponding to the above-mentioned stretched state.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the first power-on state, the second elastic member 305 is in the initial state, and the motion block 302 is in the first position. When the user wants to unfold the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, the electromagnetic member 422 switches from the first power-on state to the second power-on state, so that the driving wheel 420 drives the motion block 302 to move in the direction close to the driving wheel 420. During the movement, the second elastic member 305 is subjected to tension and produces tensile deformation (i.e., it is in a stretched state).

[0134] When the electromagnetic member 422 switches from the second power-on state to the first power-on state (for example, the electromagnetic member 422 switches from the power-on state to the power-off state), the moving block 302 can be restored to the first position under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic member 305. When the user fastens the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 (i.e., switches from the unfolded state to the folded state), the moving block 302 is in a position relative to the fixed block 301, so that the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can be fast and firmly attracted.

[0135] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connection module 300 further includes a third elastic member 306 ; one end of the third elastic member 306 is fixed to the housing provided with the moving block 302 , and the other end is connected to the second end of the winding 303 .

[0136] When the electromagnetic member 422 is in the first energized state, the third elastic member 306 is in the initial state; when the electromagnetic member 422 is in the second energized state, the third elastic member 306 is in the stretched state.

[0137] The specific solution of the third elastic member 306 can refer to the second elastic member 305, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment of the application.

[0138] It should be noted that the third elastic member 306 can enable the moving block 302 to quickly recover from the second position to the first position. In addition, if one of the second elastic member 305 and the third elastic member 306 fails, the other elastic member can continue to meet the requirement of recovering the moving block 302 from the second position to the first position, further ensuring the reliability of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0139] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The connection module 300 further includes a magnetic structure 307, and the magnetic structure includes at least one magnetic block.

[0140] In the case where the magnetic structure includes a plurality of magnetic blocks, the plurality of magnetic blocks are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0141] The magnetic structure 307 is provided on one side of the fixed block 301 close to the moving block 302 and on one side of the moving block 302 close to the fixed block 301;

[0142] When the moving block 302 is in the first position, the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 are located opposite to the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302 .

[0143] When the moving block 302 is in the second position, the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 and the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302 are staggered in position.

[0144] Exemplarily, the plurality of magnetic blocks may be uniformly arranged along the first direction.

[0145] Exemplarily, the first direction may be from the motion block 302 to the driving wheel 420 .

[0146] It can be understood that the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 are opposite to the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302, which means that each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 is opposite to each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302. Figure 4 , each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 is directly opposite to each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302 .

[0147] The magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 are staggered with the magnetic blocks of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302, which means that each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 is staggered with each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302. Figure 3 , each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 is staggered with each magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302 .

[0148] It can be understood that there is a first distance between every two adjacent magnetic blocks, and the first distance can meet the first preset condition.

[0149] The first preset condition includes that when the moving block 302 is in the second position, the attraction between the magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the fixed block 301 and the magnetic block of the magnetic structure 307 on the moving block 302 is smaller than the elastic restoring force corresponding to the elastic deformation state of the above-mentioned hinge.

[0150] Exemplarily, along the first direction, the length of the first interval is greater than or equal to the length of any magnetic block.

[0151] It should be noted that the magnetism of the magnetic block of the magnetic structure on the fixed block is opposite to the magnetism of the magnetic block of the magnetic structure on the moving block. For example, the magnetism of the magnetic block of the magnetic structure on the fixed block is N-pole, and the magnetism of the magnetic block of the magnetic structure on the moving block is S-pole.

[0152] It should be noted that the first elastic member, the second elastic member and the third elastic member may be members having elastic functions, for example, they may be elastic members made of springs, rubber or leaf springs.

[0153] It should be noted that the vibration motor can be a vibration motor used in an electronic device to realize a vibration function, so there is no need to add a vibration motor to the electronic device, and the original vibration motor in the electronic device can be reused, saving space in the electronic device. The vibration motor can work alone or reuse the vibration function of the entire electronic device.

[0154] It should be noted that the above electronic device also includes: a power module and a processor.

[0155] The power module is used to supply power to the entire system of the electronic device, such as supplying power to the vibration motor and the electromagnet.

[0156] The processor is used to control the output signals of the electromagnetic component and the vibration motor. Specifically, when the electronic device receives a first input from the user, the power supply module is controlled to supply power to the electromagnetic component so that the electromagnetic component is in a second power-on state, and the power supply module is controlled to supply power to the vibration motor so that the vibration motor drives the driving wheel to drive the motion block to move.

[0157] An embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for an electronic device, which can be applied to the electronic device in any of the above embodiments.

[0158] The following describes the control method of the electronic device of the embodiment of the present application by taking the electronic device as the execution subject. Figure 7 As shown, the control method can include the following steps:

[0159] Step 101: When the electronic device is in a folded state, receive a first input from a user to the electronic device.

[0160] In the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in a folded state, the electromagnetic component of the driving wheel of the electronic device is in a first energized state.

[0161] In an embodiment of the present application, the first input can be a gesture input (such as a click input, a sliding input, etc. on the display screen of the electronic device), or it can be a pressing input or a toggle input of a switch of the driving unit (when the switch of the driving unit is a mechanical switch).

[0162] Step 102: In response to a first input, control a driving unit in the electronic device to switch from a first state to a second state.

[0163] Wherein, when the driving unit is in the first state, the connection module in the electronic device is in a connected state, so that the first housing of the electronic device and the second housing of the electronic device are in a folded state;

[0164] When the driving unit is in the second state, the driving unit drives the connecting module to be in a separated state, so that the first housing and the second housing rotate relatively.

[0165] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the “controlling a driving unit in the electronic device to switch from a first state to a second state” in the above step 102 includes step 102a.

[0166] Step 102a: Control the electromagnetic component of the driving wheel of the driving unit in the electronic device to switch from the first power-on state to the second power-on state.

[0167] Wherein, when the electromagnetic component is in the first energized state, the electromagnetic component is separated from the first magnetic component of the motor of the driving unit of the electronic device, so that the driving unit is in the first state;

[0168] When the electromagnetic component is in the second energized state, the electromagnetic component is attracted to the first magnetic component, so that the driving unit is in the second state.

[0169] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the moving block of the connecting module of the electronic device is in the first position and is attracted to the fixed block of the connecting module of the electronic device, so that the connecting module is in the connected state;

[0170] The “controlling the driving unit in the electronic device to switch from the first state to the second state” in the above step 102 includes step 102b.

[0171] Step 102b: Control the driving unit in the electronic device to switch from the first state to the second state, so that the driving unit drives the connecting module to switch from the connected state to the separated state.

[0172] The step 102b of “the driving unit drives the connection module to switch from the connection state to the separation state” includes: step A.

[0173] Step A: The driving wheel is driven to rotate by a motor. During the rotation of the driving wheel, the driving wheel drives the moving block to move from the first position to the second position, so that the connecting module is switched from the connected state to the separated state.

[0174] It can be understood that when the electromagnetic component is in the second power-on state, the electromagnetic component is attracted to the first magnetic component of the motor rotor of the electronic device's motor, and the driving wheel is driven by the motor rotor of the electronic device to drive the moving block of the connecting module of the electronic device to move from the first position to the second position, and then the first housing and the second housing are unfolded.

[0175] For example, the first housing and the second housing may be unfolded under the action of the elastic restoring force of the hinge of the electronic device.

[0176] In an embodiment of the present application, the moving block and the fixed block of the electronic device can attract each other. During the movement of the moving block from the first position to the second position, the positions of the moving block and the fixed block of the connecting module of the electronic device are switched from relative to offset (i.e., staggered), thereby weakening the attraction between the moving block and the fixed block to be less than the elastic restoring force of the hinge.

[0177] In an embodiment of the present application, during the movement of the moving block from the first position to the second position, the first elastic member in the driving wheel, the second elastic member and the third elastic member in the connecting module of the electronic device all deform, the first elastic member is compressed, and the second elastic member and the third elastic member are stretched.

[0178] For example, the electronic device can control the number of revolutions N of the motor rotor of the vibration motor, so that the motion block moves from the first position to the second position after the motor rotor rotates the number of revolutions N. It can be understood that during the rotation of the motor rotor, the driving wheel rotates synchronously, and as the driving wheel rotates, the motion block is driven to move.

[0179] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the above step 102, step 103 is also included.

[0180] Step 103: After a preset time, control the electromagnetic component to switch from the second power-on state to the first power-on state, so that the electromagnetic component and the first magnetic component switch from the attracted state to the separated state, and the moving block moves from the second position to the first position.

[0181] In the embodiment of the present application, after the preset time period refers to: after the first housing and the second housing are connected for the preset time period.

[0182] It can be understood that under the elastic restoring force of the deformation of the first elastic member, the second elastic member and the third elastic member, the driving wheel is reset to the initial position and the moving block is reset to the first position, so that when the first housing and the second housing are switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, the fixed block and the moving block are quickly attracted.

[0183] Optionally, in the implementation of the present application, after the above step 103, step 104 is also included.

[0184] Step 104 , when a preset angle is formed between the first housing and the second housing, the fixed block and the moving block are attracted to each other, so that the connection module switches from a separated state to a connected state.

[0185] It can be understood that when the user folds and buckles the first housing and the second housing to the above-mentioned preset angle, the fixed block and the moving block are attracted to each other.

[0186] It can be understood that after the fixed block and the moving block are attracted to each other, the first housing and the second housing are switched from the unfolded state to the folded state.

[0187] It should be noted that when the first housing and the second housing are in the unfolded state, the vibration motor can work independently and reuse the vibration function.

[0188] The electronic device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can receive a first input from a user to the electronic device when the electronic device is in a folded state, and then control the driving unit in the electronic device to switch from the first state to the second state in response to the first input. Wherein, when the driving unit is in the first state, the connection module is in a connection state, so that the first housing and the second housing are in a folded state; when the driving unit is in the second state, the driving unit drives the connection module to be in a separation state, so that the first housing and the second housing rotate relative to each other. Thus, when the first housing and the second housing are in a folded state, when the user needs to unfold the first housing and the second housing, the first housing and the second housing can be unfolded directly through the first input, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of repeated suction between the first housing and the second housing during the unfolding process. Therefore, the electronic device of the embodiment of the present application is convenient for user operation and improves the human-computer interaction performance.

[0189] It should be noted that the electronic devices in the embodiments of the present application may include mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices. For example, the mobile electronic device may be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, an in-vehicle electronic device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., and the non-mobile electronic device may be a non-mobile terminal device, such as a server, a network attached storage (NAS), a personal computer (PC), etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
