Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a locking mechanism for locking, a housing provided with the locking mechanism, and an electronic equipment provided with the housing. Background Art
[0002] With the development and application of flexible screens, electronic devices with variable screen shapes have appeared in related technologies, such as foldable screen mobile phones, sliding screen mobile phones, etc. Taking the sliding screen mobile phone as an example, the sliding screen mobile phone includes two shells that are slidably connected to each other, and generally a motor is used to push the two shells away from each other or close to each other, so as to achieve the unfolding or sliding of the sliding screen. However, there is no locking mechanism between the two shells of the sliding screen mobile phone in the related technology. Therefore, the positioning effect of the sliding screen in the unfolded state is poor, and if the sliding screen mobile phone falls in a falling scene, the two shells quickly move close to each other under the action of external force, which is easy to damage the sliding screen or the internal mechanism of the sliding screen mobile phone. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a locking mechanism, which can automatically lock the mutual movement of the first shell and the second shell. The present invention also provides a shell provided with the above locking mechanism, and an electronic device provided with the above shell.
[0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a locking mechanism, which includes a first locking component, a first memory alloy component and a circuit board, the first locking component includes a first fixing component, a first locking component, and a first resetting component arranged between the first fixing component and the first locking component, the first locking component is movably connected to the first fixing component, the first locking component includes a first locking tongue, and the first resetting component has an elastic force for driving the first locking component to move and reset relative to the first fixing component; the first memory alloy component includes a first memory alloy component and a first elastic component, the first memory alloy component is connected to the first elastic component; the end of the first memory alloy component away from the first elastic component is connected to the circuit board, and the end of the first elastic component away from the first memory alloy component is connected to the first locking component, wherein the circuit board controls the first memory alloy component to drive the first locking component to move relative to the first fixing component so that the first locking tongue extends or retracts to the first fixing component.
[0005] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a shell, which includes a locking mechanism, a first shell and a second shell, the first shell and the second shell are slidably connected to each other, the first fixing part of the locking mechanism is connected to the first shell, the second shell is provided with a first locking opening, and the first shell and the second shell have a locked state or an unlocked state. In the locked state, the first locking tongue of the locking mechanism is inserted into the first locking opening; in the unlocked state, the first locking tongue of the locking mechanism is disengaged from the first locking opening.
[0006] An embodiment of the present invention also provides an electronic device, which includes a shell and a power supply arranged in the shell, the power supply is electrically connected to the circuit board and the first memory alloy component, and the circuit board is used to control the power supply and the first memory alloy component to be powered on or off so as to shrink or reset the first memory alloy component.
[0007] The first memory alloy component of the locking mechanism of the electronic device of the present invention is connected to the circuit board and the first locking component at opposite ends, respectively. When the mainboard controls the power supply through the circuit board to energize the first memory alloy component, the first memory alloy component contracts due to heat to drive the first locking component to move along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction), and the first reset component is compressed by the first locking component, so that the first locking tongue releases the positioning of the second shell and the first shell; when the mainboard controls the power supply through the circuit board to disconnect the power supply and the first memory alloy component, the first memory alloy component is reset, and the first reset component is elastically reset to push the first locking component to reset, so that the first locking tongue is positioned between the second shell and the first shell, thereby realizing the automatic locking between the first shell and the second shell of the electronic device, so that the positioning effect of the flexible screen in the unfolded state is better. If the electronic device does not come close to each other due to the mutual positioning of the second shell and the first shell in the falling scene, the internal mechanism of the flexible screen or the shell is prevented from being damaged.

[0039] Please also read Figure 1-Figure 6The electronic device 100 of one embodiment of the present invention can be applied to mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, monitors, smart watches, portable multimedia players, mobile medical devices, etc. In this embodiment, a mobile phone is used as an example for specific description. The electronic device 100 in this embodiment includes a housing 20, a mainboard 30 arranged in the housing 20, a power supply 40, a supporting device 50, a flexible screen 60, a travel detection device 70 and a driving member 80; the housing 20 can be but is not limited to a telescopic housing or a folding housing, etc. In this embodiment, a telescopic housing is used as an example for specific description. Specifically, the shell 20 includes a locking mechanism 21, a first shell 22 and a second shell 24. The locking mechanism 21 is arranged between the first shell 22 and the second shell 24. The second shell 24 is slidably connected to the first shell 22, so that the first shell 22 and the second shell 24 can be contracted or expanded with each other; the main board 30 is electrically connected to the power supply 40, the flexible screen 60, the stroke detection device 70 and the driving member 80, and the power supply 40 is used to supply power to the main board 30, the flexible screen 60, the stroke detection device 70 and the driving member 80; the supporting device 50 is a hinge-like structure, one side of the supporting device 50 is connected to the first shell 22, and the supporting device 50 is wrapped around the second shell 20; the flexible screen 60 includes a positioning area 62 and a sliding area 64 located on one side of the positioning area 62, the positioning area 62 is fixed to the front side of the first shell 22, and the sliding area 64 is attached to the surface of the supporting device 50 facing away from the second shell 24. When the first shell 22 and the second shell 24 slide relative to each other, the support device 50 slides around the second shell 24, and the sliding area 64 slides around the second shell 24 with the support device 50. Specifically, when the mainboard 30 controls the driving member 80 to drive the second shell 24 to extend relative to the first shell 22 along the X-axis direction, that is, the second shell 24 moves relative to the first shell 22 along the X-axis direction and moves away from the first shell 22, the second shell 24 drives the support device 50 to slide relative to the second shell 24 and unfold, and the sliding area 64 unfolds synchronously with the support device 50, so that the display area of the flexible screen 60 is increased; when the mainboard 30 controls the driving member 80 to drive the second shell 24 to contract relative to the first shell 22 along the X-axis direction, that is, the second shell 24 moves relative to the first shell 22 along the X-axis direction and approaches the first shell 22, the second shell 24 drives the support device 50 to slide relative to the second shell 24 and curls, and the sliding area 64 curls synchronously with the support device 50, so that the volume of the shell 20 is reduced. When the sliding area 64 is unfolded, the display surface of the flexible screen 60 can be enlarged, which is convenient for users to use; when the sliding area 64 is rolled up, the volume of the electronic device 100 can be reduced and convenient to carry. During the movement of the second housing 24 relative to the first housing 22, the mainboard 30 can control the locking mechanism 21 to automatically lock between the second housing 24 and the first housing 22 according to the travel detection device 70, so that the second housing 24 and the first housing 22 are positioned relative to each other.
[0040] like Figure 2-6As shown, the locking mechanism 21 includes a first locking component 23, a first memory alloy component 25 and a circuit board 26 electrically connected to the mainboard 30. The first locking component 23 includes a first locking member 231, a first fixing member 232, and a first reset member 234 arranged between the first locking member 231 and the first fixing member 232. The first locking member 231 is movably connected to the first fixing member 232. The first locking member 231 includes a first locking tongue 2311. The first reset member 234 has an elastic force that drives the first locking member 231 to move and reset relative to the first fixing member 232. The elastic force drives the first locking member 231 to move along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction) so that the first locking tongue 2311 is positioned between the second shell 24 and the first shell 22, so that the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 are relative to each other. For positioning; the first memory alloy component 25 includes a first memory alloy component 251 and a first elastic component 253, the first memory alloy component 251 is connected to the first elastic component 253; the end of the first memory alloy component 251 away from the first elastic component 253 is connected to the circuit board 26, so that the first memory alloy component 251 is electrically connected to the circuit board 26, and the end of the first elastic component 253 away from the first memory alloy component 251 is connected to the first locking component 231, wherein the circuit board 26 is used to control the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 251 to be powered on or off, so as to control the first memory alloy component 251 to contract or reset, so as to drive the first locking component 231 to move relative to the first fixing component 232 along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction), so that the first locking tongue 2311 extends out or contracts in the first fixing component 232. Specifically, the mainboard 30 controls the driving member 80 to drive the second housing 24 to move relative to the first housing 22 along the second direction (i.e., the X-axis direction), and the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 25 to be powered on or off through the circuit board 26, so that the first memory alloy component 251 contracts or resets to drive the first locking member 231 to move along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction), so that the first locking tongue 2311 extends out of or contracts in the first fixing member 232. When the first locking tongue 2311 extends out of the first fixing member 232, the first locking tongue 2311 is positioned between the second housing 24 and the first housing 22 to prevent the second housing 24 from moving relative to the first housing 22; when the first locking tongue 2311 contracts in the first fixing member 232, the first locking tongue 2311 is separated from between the second housing 24 and the first housing 22, and the second housing 24 can move relative to the first housing 22.
[0041] In the present invention, the front side refers to the side facing the same direction as the light-emitting surface of the flexible screen 60, and the back side refers to the side facing the opposite direction to the light-emitting surface of the flexible screen 60; the Y-axis direction refers to the sliding direction of the first locking member 231 relative to the first fixing member 232, that is, the first direction is the Y-axis direction; the X-axis direction refers to the sliding direction of the second shell 24 relative to the first shell 22, and the second direction is the X-axis direction; the third direction refers to the direction that is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction, that is, the third direction is the Z-axis direction, which is the thickness direction of the electronic device 100.
[0042] The first memory alloy member 251 of the locking mechanism 21 of the present invention is connected to the circuit board 26 and the first locking member 231 at opposite ends respectively. When the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 through the circuit board 26 to energize the first memory alloy member 251, the first memory alloy member 251 contracts due to heat to drive the first locking member 231 to move along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction), and the first reset member 234 is compressed by the first locking member 231, so that the first locking tongue 2311 releases the positioning of the second shell 24 and the first shell 22; when the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy member 251 through the circuit board 26 to cut off the power, the first memory alloy member 251 is reset, that is, the first memory alloy member 251 restores its original length, and the first reset member 234 is elastically reset and pushes the first locking member 231 to reset, so that the first locking tongue 2311 is positioned between the second shell 24 and the first shell 22, thereby realizing the automatic locking between the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 of the electronic device 100, so that the positioning effect of the flexible screen 60 in the unfolded state is better. If the electronic device 100 falls, the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 will not come close to each other due to their relative positioning, thereby preventing the flexible screen 60 or the internal structure of the shell 20 from being damaged.
[0043] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 21 further includes a second locking assembly 27 and a second memory alloy assembly 28. The second locking assembly 27 includes a second locking member 271, a second fixing member 272, and a second reset member 274 disposed between the second fixing member 272 and the second locking member 271. The second locking member 271 is movably connected to the second fixing member 272. The second locking member 271 includes a second locking tongue 2711. The second reset member 274 has an elastic force that drives the second locking member 271 to move and reset relative to the second fixing member 272. The elastic force drives the second locking member 271 to move so that the second locking tongue 2711 is positioned between the second housing 24 and the first housing 22, so that The second shell 24 is positioned relative to the first shell 22; the second memory alloy assembly 28 includes a second memory alloy component 281 and a second elastic component 283 connected to the second locking component 271, the second memory alloy component 281 is connected to the second elastic component 283, the end of the second memory alloy component 281 away from the second elastic component 283 is connected to the circuit board 26, the second memory alloy component 281 is electrically connected to the circuit board 26, the main board 30 controls the second memory alloy component 281 through the circuit board 26 to drive the second locking component 271 to move relative to the second fixing component 272 along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction), so that the second locking tongue 2711 extends out or retracts from the second fixing component 272. The first memory alloy component 251 is connected between the first locking component 231 and the circuit board 26, and the second memory alloy component 281 is connected between the second locking component 271 and the circuit board 26. The first memory alloy component 251 and the second memory alloy component 281 are electrically connected to the circuit board 26 respectively. The circuit board 26 can control the first memory alloy component 251 and the second memory alloy component 281 to drive the first locking component 231 relative to the first fixing component 232 and the second locking component 271 relative to the second fixing component 272 to move respectively, so that the first locking tongue 2311 extends or retracts to the first fixing component 232 and the second locking tongue 271 extends or retracts to the second fixing component 272. The first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 extend or retract to the second fixing component 272. The two locking tongues 2711 can move synchronously or asynchronously; the second shell 24 can move along the second direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) relative to the first shell 22, and the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 251 and the second memory alloy component 281 to be powered on or off through the circuit board 26, so that the first memory alloy component 251 contracts or resets to drive the first locking component 231 to move along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction) and the second memory alloy component 281 contracts or resets to drive the second locking component 271 to move along the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction), so that the first locking tongue 2311 extends or contracts to the first fixing component 232 and the second locking tongue 2711 extends or contracts to the second fixing component 272.When the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 extend out of the first fixing member 232 and the second fixing member 272 respectively, the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are positioned between the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 to prevent the second shell 24 from moving relative to the first shell 22; when the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are retracted to the first fixing member 232 and the second fixing member 272 respectively, the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are disengaged from between the second shell 24 and the first shell 22, and the second shell 24 can move relative to the first shell 22.

[0068] The back side of the sliding area 64 of the flexible screen 60 is attached to the front side of the supporting device 50, the positioning area 62 of the flexible screen 60 is accommodated in the positioning groove 2210 of the first shell 22, and the back side of the positioning area 62 is fixedly attached to the front side of the top wall 221, and one side of the flexible screen 60 is clamped in the connecting groove 2240 of the first shell 22; the side of the supporting device 50 facing away from the flexible screen 60 is surrounded by the second shell 24; the side of the supporting device 50 close to the positioning area 62 is connected to the first shell 22, and the side of the supporting device 50 away from the positioning area 62 is slidably connected to the bottom wall 241 of the second shell 24, so that the supporting device 50 and the flexible screen 60 can be slidably surrounded on the second shell 24. At this time, when the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 25 are energized, the first memory alloy wire 2511 shrinks due to heat and drives the first locking member 231 to slide in the first guide groove 2320 of the first fixing member 232, so that the first locking tongue 2311 is disengaged from the first locking opening 2414; when the power supply 40 and the second memory alloy component 28 are energized, the second memory alloy wire 2811 shrinks due to heat and drives the second locking member 271 to slide in the second guide groove 2720 of the second fixing member 272, so that the second locking tongue 2711 is disengaged from the second locking member 2415, the first reset member 234 and the second reset member 274 are compressed, the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 are in an unlocked state, and the second shell 24 can move along the X-axis direction relative to the first shell 22. Specifically, when the power supply 40 energizes the first memory alloy wire 2511 through the circuit board 26, the contraction of the first memory alloy wire 2511 generates a contraction force acting on the first elastic member 253, and the force is applied to the first locking member 231 through the first elastic member 253, and the first reset member 234 is compressed, so that the first lock tongue 2311 is disengaged from the first locking port 2414; when the power supply 40 energizes the second memory alloy wire 2811 through the circuit board 26, the contraction of the second memory alloy wire 2811 generates a contraction force acting on the second elastic member 283, and the force is applied to the second locking member 271 through the second elastic member 283, and the second reset member 274 is compressed, so that the second lock tongue 2711 is disengaged from the second locking port 2415, so as to realize automatic unlocking of the locking mechanism 21, and the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 can move relative to each other. When the power supply 40 stops energizing the first memory alloy wire 2511, the first memory alloy wire 2511 returns to its original length, the first reset member 234 is elastically reset, and the first reset member 234 pushes the first locking member 231 to move away from one end of the first memory alloy wire 2511, so that the first locking tongue 2311 is inserted into the first locking opening 2414; when the power supply 40 stops energizing the second memory alloy wire 2811, the second memory alloy wire 2811 returns to its original length, the second reset member 274 is elastically reset, and the second reset member 274 pushes the second locking member 271 to move away from one end of the second memory alloy wire 2811, so that the second locking tongue 2711 is inserted into the second locking opening 2415; so as to realize automatic locking of the locking mechanism 21 and prevent the second shell 24 from moving relative to the first shell 22.
[0069] Preferably, the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 can be synchronously extended from the first fixing member 232 and the second fixing member 272, respectively, and the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 can be synchronously retracted to the second fixing member 232 and the second fixing member 272, respectively; specifically, the power supply 40 synchronously energizes the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811, the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 are synchronously retracted, and the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2 711 are synchronously disengaged from the corresponding first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415 respectively, so as to unlock the locking mechanism 21b; when the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 are synchronously powered off, the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 are synchronously restored to their original lengths, and the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are synchronously inserted into the corresponding first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415 respectively, so as to lock the locking mechanism 21.
[0070] The contraction amount of the first memory alloy wire 2511 in the sliding direction along the first locking member 231 is greater than or equal to the displacement amount of the first locking member 231 relative to the first fixing member 232, and the contraction amount of the second memory alloy wire 2811 in the sliding direction along the second locking member 272 is greater than or equal to the displacement amount of the second locking member 271 relative to the second fixing member 272.
[0071] Preferably, the elastic coefficient of the first elastic member 253 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the first restoring member 234 , and the elastic coefficient of the second elastic member 274 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the second restoring member 274 . In this embodiment, the first elastic member 253 and the second elastic member 274 are tension springs with the same elastic coefficient, and the first reset member 234 and the second reset member 274 are push springs with the same elastic coefficient; the elastic coefficients of the first reset member 234 and the second reset member 274 are both KF, and the elastic coefficients of the first elastic member 253 and the second elastic member 284 are both KB. The power supply 40 energizes the first memory alloy wire 2511 through the circuit board 26, so that one end of the first memory alloy wire 2511 moves along the Y-axis direction by a displacement of Δx2. After the power supply 40 energizes the second memory alloy wire 2811 through the circuit board 26, one end of the second memory alloy wire 2811 moves along the Y-axis direction by a displacement of Δx2. The first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 can move along the Y-axis direction by a displacement of Δx1, respectively. The relationship is: The displacement of the first locking member 231 relative to the first fixing member 232 in the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction) is smaller than the contraction of the first memory alloy component 25, and the displacement of the second locking member 271 relative to the second fixing member 272 in the first direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction) is smaller than the contraction of the second memory alloy component 28, i.e., Δx2>Δx1; therefore, the displacement Δx1 of the first lock tongue 2311 is smaller than the contraction Δx2 of the first memory alloy wire 2511, i.e., Δx2>Δx1; the displacement Δx1 of the second lock tongue 2711 is smaller than the contraction Δx2 of the second memory alloy wire 2811, i.e., Δx2>Δx1. In order to meet the movement displacement Δx1 stroke of the first lock tongue 2311 or the second lock tongue 2711, the values of Δx1 and Δx2 are generally made close, otherwise, the shrinkage of the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 will produce a large loss, wherein the loss = Δx2-Δx1; therefore, when the overall space of the shell 20 is limited, when KB>>KF, the shrinkage loss of the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 is close to 0.
[0072] When the first locking member 231 and / or the second locking member 271 of the locking mechanism 21 are stuck due to external force, even if the power supply 40 continues to energize the first memory alloy wire 2511 and / or the second memory alloy wire 2811, the first memory alloy wire 2511 will only compress the first elastic member 253 to provide the first memory alloy wire 2511 deformation displacement, and the second memory alloy wire 2811 will only compress the second elastic member 283 to provide the second memory alloy wire 2811 deformation displacement; therefore, the first elastic member 253 has the function of protecting the first memory alloy wire 2511, and the second elastic member 283 has the function of protecting the second memory alloy wire 2811. In this embodiment, by adding the first elastic member 253 at one end of the first memory alloy wire 2511, the first memory alloy wire 2511 can be prevented from being damaged; by adding the second elastic member 283 at one end of the second memory alloy wire 2811, the second memory alloy wire 2811 can be prevented from being damaged, and the structure is simple, the application is convenient, and the cost is low.

[0076] Please also read Figure 1-Figure 8 and Figure 24-25When the flexible screen 60 of the electronic device 100 needs to be unfolded or rolled up, the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 to energize the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 through the circuit board 26, and the first memory alloy wire 2511 heats and contracts to make the first locking member 231 move toward one end close to the circuit board 26, and the second memory alloy wire 2811 heats and contracts to make the second locking member 271 move toward one end close to the circuit board 26, so that the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are respectively separated from the first locking opening 2414 and the second locking opening 2415, and the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 are in an unlocked state; at this time, the mainboard 30 controls the driving member 80 to push or pull back the second shell 24 to slide along the X-axis direction, so that the second shell 24 is away from or close to the first shell 22, and the second shell 24 slides relative to the supporting device 50 so that the supporting device 50 is unfolded or rolled up, so that the supporting device 50 slides around the second shell 24, and the sliding and rolling area 64 is unfolded or rolled up with the supporting device 50.
[0077] In one embodiment, the stroke detection device 70 is electrically connected to the circuit board 26, and the stroke detection device 70 can be a distance sensor for detecting the position of the second shell 24 moving relative to the first shell 22; the stroke detection device 70 is used to detect the sliding position of the second shell 24 relative to the first shell 22. When the flexible screen 60 needs to be unfolded, the main board 30 controls the power supply 40 through the circuit board 26 to energize the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811, and the first memory alloy wire 2511 shrinks due to heat to drive the first locking member 231 to move closer to the circuit board 26 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 to move closer to the circuit board 29, so that the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are respectively disengaged from the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415; the main board 30 controls the driving member 80 to drive the second shell 24 to slide relative to the first shell 22 so that the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 are unfolded with each other, so that the support device 50 slides around the second shell 24, and the sliding area 64 is unfolded with the support device 50. The stroke detection device 70 detects the position of the second shell 24 relative to the first shell 22. When the second shell 24 moves to the position where it needs to be locked relative to the first shell 22, the stroke detection device 70 detects the position of the second shell 24 and calculates the corresponding positions of the first locking opening 2414 and the second locking opening 2415, and then sends a signal to the circuit board 26. The main board 30 receives the signal and controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 25 and the second memory alloy component 28 to be powered off through the circuit board 26, so that the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy component 28 are locked. The gold wire 2811 returns to its original length, that is, the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 are reset, and the mainboard 30 controls the driving member 80 to stop driving the second shell 24, that is, the second shell 24 does not move relative to the first shell 22, and the first reset member 234 and the second reset member 274 respectively push the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 away from each other until the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are respectively inserted into the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415, so that the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 are positioned relative to each other. When the second shell 24 needs to be unfolded again relative to the first shell 22, the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 through the circuit board 26 to energize again, so that the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are disengaged from the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415 to unlock, and repeats the above process until the second shell 24 is fully unfolded relative to the first shell 22 and the flexible screen 60 is in a fully unfolded state.When the flexible screen 60 needs to be curled, the main board 30 controls the power supply 40 to energize the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 through the circuit board 26. The first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 shrink due to heat to drive the first locking member 231 and the second locking member 271 to move closer to each other, so that the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are respectively disengaged from the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415; the main board 30 controls the driving member 80 to drive the second shell 24 to slide relative to the first shell 22 so that the second shell 24 and the first shell 22 move closer to each other, so that the support device 50 slides around the second shell 24, and the sliding area 64 curls with the support device 50. The stroke detection device 70 detects the position of the second shell 24 relative to the first shell 22. When the second shell 24 moves to the position required to be locked relative to the first shell 22, the stroke detection device 70 detects the position of the second shell 24 and calculates the corresponding positions of the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415, and then sends a signal to the main board 30. The main board 30 receives the signal and controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 25 and the second memory alloy component 28 to be powered off through the circuit board 26, so that the first memory alloy component 25 and the second memory alloy component 28 are restored to their original lengths. At the same time, the main board 30 controls the driving member 80 to stop driving the second shell 24, and the first reset member 234 and the second reset member 274 respectively push the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 away from each other until the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are respectively inserted into the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415. When the second shell 24 needs to be moved closer to the first shell 22 again, the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 through the circuit board 26 to energize again, so that the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are disengaged from the first locking port 2414 and the second locking port 2415 to unlock, and the above process is repeated until the second shell 24 is completely contracted relative to the first shell 22 and the flexible screen 60 is in a completely curled state.
[0078] In another embodiment, during the movement of the second shell 24 relative to the first shell 22, the stroke detection device 70 is used to detect the position of the second shell 24 relative to the first shell 22, and calculate the time required for the second shell 24 to move to the locked position relative to the first shell 22, and the stroke detection device 70 sends a signal to the circuit board 26, the circuit arc 26 receives the signal and controls the power supply 40 and the first memory alloy component 25 and the second memory alloy component 28 to be powered off in advance, the first memory alloy component 25 and the second memory alloy component 28 are gradually reset, and the first reset member 234 and the second reset member 274 are respectively pushed The first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 gradually move away from each other, and at the same time, the second housing 24 continues to move relative to the first housing 22. When the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are respectively facing the corresponding first locking opening 2414 and the second locking opening 2415, the mainboard 40 controls the driving member 80 to stop driving the second housing 24 to move relative to the first housing 22, and the first locking tongue 2311 and the second locking tongue 2711 are respectively inserted into the first locking opening 2414 and the second locking opening 2415, and the second housing 24 is locked with the first housing 22, that is, the second housing 24 cannot move relative to the first housing 22. When the second housing 24 needs to move again relative to the first housing 22, the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 are powered on again to unlock, and the above process is repeated. The other embodiment can improve the response time of the locking mechanism 21.
[0079] like Figure 6-Figure 10Since the first fixing member 232 of the locking mechanism 21 is provided with a first stop portion 2323 and the second fixing member 272 is provided with a second stop portion 2723, the first locking tongue 2311 can slide in the first guide groove 2320 and stop at the first stop portion 2323, and the second locking tongue 2711 can slide in the second guide groove 2720 and stop at the second stop portion 2723; therefore, when the first memory alloy wire 2511 is energized, the first memory alloy wire 2511 is heated and contracted to drive the first locking tongue 2311 to move in the first direction. The second memory alloy wire 2811 slides in a guide groove 2320 and contracts due to heat to drive the second lock tongue 2711 to slide in the second guide groove 2720, and the first lock tongue 2311 and the second lock tongue 2711 are respectively stopped at the first stop portion 2323 and the second stop portion 2723 to ensure that the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 can shrink to the maximum position in the Y direction to prevent the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 from shrinking too much. Since the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 may get stuck during the process of contraction when energized, the stuck means that the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 have no contraction in the travel space, but the power supply 40 continues to energize the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811; at this time, the first elastic member 253 and the second elastic member 284 have a buffering effect, thereby preventing the first memory alloy wire 2511 from being damaged or broken.
[0080] In some embodiments, the mainboard 30 can also be used to control and prevent the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 from being stuck. Specifically, the resistance value of the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 can be detected in real time, and the stuck state can be detected according to the change of the resistance value. That is, when the detected resistance value reaches a specific value, the mainboard 30 controls the power supply 40 to reduce the current of the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 to maintain the state or directly cut off the power supply. The specific value refers to the resistance value of the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 when there is no contraction in the travel space.
[0081] The mainboard 30 of the electronic device 100 of the present invention controls the driving member 80 through the circuit board 26 to drive the second shell 24 to move relative to the first shell 22, so as to realize the automatic expansion or contraction of the shell 20. The sliding area 64 of the flexible screen 60 is automatically expanded or curled with the second shell 24, which is convenient to use. After the sliding area 64 is expanded, the display surface of the flexible screen 60 can be increased, which is convenient for users to use. After the sliding area 64 is curled, the volume of the electronic device 100 can be reduced to facilitate users to carry. In addition, after the second shell 24 is expanded relative to the first shell 22, it is automatically locked through the locking mechanism 21 to prevent the second shell 24 from moving relative to the first shell 22, and when the electronic device 100 falls, the second shell 24 can be prevented from falling relative to the first shell 22. The movement of the first shell 22 can effectively protect the electronic device 100 as a whole, prevent the loss of the flexible screen 60 and damage to the mechanism inside the shell 20; secondly, the locking mechanism 21 realizes automatic unlocking or automatic locking by energizing the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811, and the logic is simple, and multi-level locking or unlocking can be realized, and the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 have a large energy density, driving strain and driving stress, and the driving voltage required by the first memory alloy wire 2511 and the second memory alloy wire 2811 is low and easy to obtain; in addition, the locking mechanism 21 has a small weight and a small volume, and occupies a small internal space of the shell 20, which is convenient for the layout of other components.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
