DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] The electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a device housing 100, a flexible screen assembly 200 and a connecting rod assembly 300.

[0030] The device housing 100 is a basic component of the electronic device. The device housing 100 can provide a mounting base for other structural parts of the electronic device, and the device housing 100 can protect other structural parts of the electronic device. In the embodiment of the present application, the device housing 100 includes a first housing portion 110 and a second housing portion 120. The first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 can rotate relative to each other so that the electronic device can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. The electronic device has a larger display area in the unfolded state, providing a better visual experience for the user, and occupies a smaller storage space in the folded state, which is convenient for carrying and storage.

[0031] The flexible screen assembly 200 is a display assembly of an electronic device. The flexible screen assembly 200 includes a flexible display screen 210 and a flexible support member 220. The flexible display screen 210 has a first section, a second section and a middle section. The first section and the second section are respectively located at two ends of the middle section. The first section is connected to the first shell portion 110, and the second section is connected to the second shell portion 120. The middle section is supported by the flexible support member 220. When the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the first section, the second section and the middle section are on the same plane and together form a display surface. The electronic device has a larger display area, and the flexible support member 220 supports the middle section, so that the flexible display screen 210 has stable support. When the electronic device is in a folded state, the first section is opposite to and overlaps with the second section, and the middle section is bent. The electronic device occupies a smaller storage space. The flexible support member 220 is bent to form a accommodating groove, which can provide an accommodating space for the middle section to accommodate the redundant length of the flexible display screen 210 during the folding process.

[0032] The link assembly 300 includes a first link 310, a second link 320 and a sliding member. The first end of the first link 310 is connected to the first housing portion 110, the second end of the first link 310 is connected to the sliding member, the first end of the second link 320 is connected to the second housing portion 120, the second end of the second link 320 is connected to the sliding member, and the sliding member is connected to the flexible support member 220. Here, the connection between the sliding member and the flexible support member 220 may be that the sliding member and the flexible support member 220 are in conflict with each other, or the sliding member and the flexible support member 220 are connected together. The link assembly 300 can make the sliding member in different positions during the relative rotation of the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120, so that when the electronic device is in a folded state, the sliding member is away from the flexible support member 220 to provide a bending space for the flexible support member 220, and when the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the sliding member supports the flexible support member 220 to more stably support the middle section of the flexible display screen 210.

[0033] During the folding process of the electronic device, the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 are relatively close to each other, at least one of the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 drives the sliding member to slide along the first direction, and the flexible support member 220 is bent to form an accommodating groove for accommodating the middle section. The first direction is the direction away from the display surface of the flexible display screen 210.

[0034] When the sliding member is in conflict with the flexible support member 220, the sliding member slides along the first direction, away from the flexible support member 220, to provide bending space for the flexible support member 220, and the two ends of the flexible support member 220 are pulled closer together by the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120, so that the flexible support member 220 bends; when the sliding member is connected to the flexible support member 220, the sliding member slides along the first direction to provide bending space for the flexible support member 220, and at the same time, the sliding member can drive the flexible support member 220 to bend.

[0035] During the unfolding of the electronic device, whether the sliding member is in conflict with the flexible support member 220 or the sliding member is connected to the flexible support member 220, the sliding member can push the flexible support member 220 from being bent to being flat. Of course, the flexible support member 220 can also be bent to be flat under the action of its own tension as the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 move away from each other.

[0036] Therefore, in an electronic device using an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in an unfolded state, the first section, the second section, and the middle section are on the same plane and together form a display surface, and the electronic device has a larger display area. In addition, the connecting rod mechanism supports the flexible support member 220, and the flexible support member 220 supports the middle section, so that the flexible display screen 210 has stable support.

[0037] During the folding process of the electronic device, the first shell portion 110 and the second shell portion 120 of the device shell 100 are relatively close to each other, and at least one of the first link 310 and the second link 320 of the link assembly 300 drives the sliding member to slide in a direction away from the display surface of the flexible display screen 210, and the flexible support member 220 is bent to form an accommodating groove to accommodate the middle section.

[0038] When the electronic device is in a folded state, the first section and the second section are opposite and overlapped, and the middle section is bent. The electronic device occupies a smaller storage space and is easy to carry. At the same time, the flexible support member 220 is bent to form a receiving groove for accommodating the middle section. After being bent, the middle section can be accommodated in the receiving groove.

[0039] Therefore, the accommodating groove can provide an accommodating space for the middle section to accommodate the redundant length of the flexible display screen 210 during the folding process, thereby effectively preventing the flexible display screen 210 from being excessively folded and squeezed, thereby protecting the flexible display screen 210 and improving the service life of the flexible display screen 210.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device also includes a hinge assembly 400, which is used to connect the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120. The first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 rotate relative to each other through the hinge assembly 400. The hinge assembly 400 includes a first hinge 410, a second hinge 420 and a connecting member 430. The first hinge 410 is connected to the first housing portion 110, the second hinge 420 is connected to the second housing portion 120, the first hinge 410 and the second hinge 420 are connected through the connecting member 430, and the first hinge 410 and the second hinge 420 are both rotatably connected to the connecting member 430.

[0041] During the folding and unfolding of the electronic device, the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 are relatively close to or away from each other, the first housing portion 110 rotates relative to the connecting member 430 via the first rotating shaft 410, and the second housing portion 120 rotates relative to the connecting member 430 via the second rotating shaft 420. Therefore, the connecting member 430 also plays a role in connecting the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120.

[0042] The sliding member is slidably connected to the connecting member 430. During the folding and unfolding process of the electronic device, at least one of the first connecting rod 310 and the second connecting rod 320 drives the sliding member to slide along the first direction or along the direction opposite to the first direction, and the sliding member is slidably connected to the connecting member 430, which can provide a mounting base for the sliding member and provide a guiding function for the sliding member.

[0043] Therefore, the connecting member 430 not only connects the first shell part 110 and the second shell part 120, but also provides an installation basis for the sliding member, and can also provide a guiding function for the sliding member, so that the connecting member 430 is fully utilized and the effect of one object for multiple uses is fully realized.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first end of the first connecting rod 310 is rotatably connected to the first housing portion 110, and the first end of the first connecting rod 310 is eccentrically arranged relative to the first rotating shaft 410, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 is rotatably connected to the second housing portion 120, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 is eccentrically arranged relative to the second rotating shaft 420. The first end of the first connecting rod 310 is eccentrically arranged relative to the first rotating shaft 410, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 is eccentrically arranged relative to the second rotating shaft 420, so that the second end of the first connecting rod 310 and the second end of the second connecting rod 320 can be moved away from or close to the flexible support member 220 during the process of the first housing portion 110 and the second housing portion 120 being relatively close to or away from each other, thereby driving the sliding member to move along the first direction or in a direction opposite to the first direction.

[0045] Optionally, the first rotating shaft 410 is provided with a first rotating wheel 411, the first rotating wheel 411 can rotate with the first rotating shaft 410, and the first end of the first connecting rod 310 is connected to the first housing portion 110 through the first rotating wheel 411; the second rotating shaft 420 is provided with a second rotating wheel 421, the second rotating wheel 421 can rotate with the second rotating shaft 420, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 is connected to the second housing portion 120 through the second rotating wheel 421. This arrangement can realize that the first end of the first connecting rod 310 is rotatably connected to the first housing portion 110, and the first end of the first connecting rod 310 is eccentrically arranged relative to the first rotating shaft 410, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 is rotatably connected to the second housing portion 120, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 is eccentrically arranged relative to the second rotating shaft 420.

[0046] Of course, the first end of the first connecting rod 310 and the first rotating shaft 410, and the first end of the second connecting rod 320 and the second rotating shaft 420, may also be connected in other ways, as long as the relative eccentricity mentioned above is achieved.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, a first connecting hole 4111 is provided on the outer periphery of the first rotating wheel 411, the first connecting rod 310 is movably connected to the first connecting hole 4111, and a first limiting member 311 is provided on the first end of the first connecting rod 310. The first limiting member 311 is used to prevent the first end of the first connecting rod 310 from being separated from the first rotating wheel 411. The first connecting rod 310 can slide and rotate relative to the first connecting hole 4111, so that the first connecting rod 310 is movably connected to the first connecting hole 4111. A second connecting hole 4211 is provided on the outer periphery of the second rotating wheel 421, the second connecting rod 320 is movably connected to the second connecting hole 4211, and a second limiting member 321 is provided on the first end of the second connecting rod 320.

The second connecting rod 320 can slide and rotate relative to the second connecting hole 4211, so that the second connecting rod 320 is movably connected to the second connecting hole 4211.

[0050] Optionally, the slide groove 431 or the slide rail is provided with a first limiting portion 4311 and a second limiting portion 4312; when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the sliding member and the first limiting portion 4311 are limited in the sliding direction, and after the sliding member and the first limiting portion 4311 are limited in the sliding direction, the sliding member is prevented from continuing to slide in the slide groove 431 or the slide rail, and at this time, the flexible support member 220 can be stably supported. When the electronic device is in the folded state, the sliding member and the second limiting portion 4312 are limited in the sliding direction, and after the sliding member and the second limiting portion 4312 are limited in the sliding direction, the sliding member is prevented from continuing to slide in the slide groove 431 or the slide rail, and at this time, the sliding member can be prevented from being separated from the slide groove 431 or the slide rail.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting rod assembly 300 also includes a third connecting rod 340 and a fourth connecting rod 350, the first end of the third connecting rod 340 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 310, and the first end of the third connecting rod 340 can slide along the first connecting rod 310, and the second end of the third connecting rod 340 is rotatably connected to the sliding member; the first end of the fourth connecting rod 350 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 320, and the first end of the fourth connecting rod 350 can slide along the second connecting rod 320, and the second end of the fourth connecting rod 350 is rotatably connected to the sliding member.

[0053] Similarly, after the second rotating wheel 421 drives the first end of the second connecting rod 320 to move, it can be connected to the sliding member through the second end of the second connecting rod 320 and the second end of the third connecting rod 340 at the same time to drive the sliding member to move, so that the second rotating wheel 421 can drive the sliding member more smoothly and avoid the sliding member being stuck in the connecting member 430 due to uneven force during the sliding process.

The second slider 370 is slidably connected to the second connecting rod 320 , and the second slider 370 can be embedded in the second connecting rod 320 and slidably connected to the second connecting rod 320 .

[0056] Of course, the above-mentioned first slider 360 and the second slider 370 can also be in the form of a sliding sleeve. In the case where the first slider 360 and the second slider 370 can also be in the form of a sliding sleeve, the first slider 360 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the first connecting rod 310 and slidably connected to the first connecting rod 310, and the second slider 370 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the second connecting rod 320 and slidably connected to the second connecting rod 320.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, there are two sliding members, namely, a first sliding member 331 and a second sliding member 332. The second end of the first connecting rod 310 is connected to the first sliding member 331, the second end of the second connecting rod 320 is connected to the second sliding member 332, and the first sliding member 331 and the second sliding member 332 are both connected to the flexible support member 220.

During the unfolding and folding process of the electronic device, the ends of the first rigid support member 230 and the second rigid support member 240 connected to the flexible support member 220 can drive the flexible support member 220 to bend or flatten.

[0061] Therefore, when the electronic device of the embodiment of the present application is in a folded state, the first section and the second section are opposite and overlapped, the middle section is bent, and the electronic device occupies a small storage space, which is convenient for carrying. At the same time, the flexible support member 220 is bent to form a receiving groove for accommodating the middle section, and the middle section can be accommodated in the receiving groove after being bent. Therefore, the receiving groove can provide an accommodating space for the middle section to accommodate the redundant length of the flexible display screen 210 during the folding process, thereby effectively preventing the flexible display screen 210 from being over-folded and squeezed, thereby protecting the flexible display screen 210 and improving the service life of the flexible display screen 210.
