[0044] Please refer to Figure 9a to Figure 9c , Figure 9a is a schematic diagram of the magnetic field formed by the two parallel guide rails respectively, Figure 9b is a schematic diagram of the magnetic field formed in the middle of the two parallel guide rails, Figure 9c is a schematic diagram of the force direction of the slider, wherein the two parallel guide rails (the first guide rail 310 and the second guide rail 320) are energized, and each can form an electromagnetic field in the surrounding direction according to the right-hand rule, as shown in Figure 9a . Then, the magnetic field formed in the middle of the two parallel guide rails is as shown in Figure 9b (vertically upward), and the direction of the force on the slider 330 in the magnetic field formed by the two guide rails is toward the right side in Figure 9c according to the left-hand rule. The slider 330 will move in the direction of the force as long as the guide rails (the first guide rail 310 and the second guide rail 320) are continuously energized.

[0045] Among them, the first guide rail 310 and the second guide rail 320 are respectively fixed on the first shell 100, and the second shell 200 is fixedly connected with the slider 330, so that the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 can change the fitting state (switch between the states in Figure 1 and Figure 2 ) under the driving of the driving assembly 300.

[0046] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 8 The driving device 10 can also include a power supply assembly 400 electrically connected to the first guide rail 310 and the second guide rail 320, respectively, for providing electric energy and controlling the current parameters of the current input to the first guide rail 310 and the second guide rail 320, including the size and direction of the current.

When the flexible display screen 20 needs to be unfolded, the guide rail is powered from the left side of the figure, the first slider 331 forms a loop with the guide rail, and then expands outward under stress. The second slider 332 does not have current flowing through it during the unfolding process, so it can expand together with the movement of the second shell 200. When the flexible display screen 20 needs to be retracted, the left side of the guide rail is powered off and the right side is powered on at this time. The second slider 332 forms a loop with the guide rail and moves to the left under stress. During this process, the first slider 331 does not have current flowing through it, so it can retract together with the movement of the second shell 200.

A drive device characterized by comprising: The electronic device comprises: a first shell; a driving assembly comprising: a first rail made of conductive material and fixed to the first shell; a second rail made of conductive material and fixed to the first shell; a slider comprising a first slider and a second slider respectively connected between the first rail and the second rail and used for electrically connecting the first rail and the second rail; a second shell fixedly connected with the first slider and the second slider; wherein the driving device further comprises a power supply assembly electrically connected with the first rail and the second rail, the power supply assembly is electrically connected with the first rail and the second rail of the driving assembly respectively, and is used for controlling current parameters of current flowing into the first rail and the second rail; when the second shell needs to move in a first direction, the power supply assembly energizes a first section of the first rail and the second rail, so that current forms a first current loop through the first slider, thereby driving the first slider to move in the first direction, and a second section where the second slider is located does not form a current loop; when the second shell needs to move in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the power supply assembly energizes the second section of the first rail and the second rail, so that current forms a second current loop through the second slider, thereby driving the second slider to move in the second direction, and the first section where the first slider is located does not form a current loop.

2. The drive apparatus according to claim 1, characterized by The first rail and the second rail extend in a direction parallel to the first direction, and the slider extends in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

3. The drive apparatus according to claim 2, characterized by The driving device further comprises a second driving assembly, the second driving assembly comprising: a third rail made of conductive material; a fourth rail made of conductive material; a second slider connected between the third rail and the fourth rail and used for electrically connecting the third rail and the fourth rail; wherein the third rail and the fourth rail can be connected with positive and negative poles of a power supply respectively and form a current loop through the second slider, and the second slider can move in a second direction under the action of a magnetic field force generated by the third rail and the fourth rail; wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction; wherein the third rail and the fourth rail are fixed to the first shell respectively, and the second shell is further fixedly connected with the second slider; or the third rail and the fourth rail are fixed to the second shell respectively, and the first shell is fixedly connected with the second slider.

4. The drive apparatus according to claim 3, characterized by The power supply assembly is further electrically connected with the third rail and the fourth rail respectively, and is used for controlling current parameters of current flowing into the third rail and the fourth rail.

5. An electronic device, comprising: The electronic device comprises the driving device of any one of claims 1-4.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein, The electronic device further comprises a flexible display screen connected with the first shell and the second shell respectively and capable of changing an unfolding state during relative movement of the first shell and the second shell.

7. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein, The electronic device further comprises a functional device; the functional device is connected with the second shell of the driving device and can change a position state during movement of the second shell relative to the first shell.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein, The functional device comprises one or more of a camera, a flash, and a speaker.
