Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic equipment technology, and specifically relates to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and retractable screen electronic devices are gaining popularity among users. These devices can switch between large and small screen modes, adapting to different user needs in scenarios such as gaming and video playback.

[0003] Currently, to ensure stability and smooth operation of retractable screen electronic devices during deployment and retraction, a guide mechanism is typically incorporated. This guide mechanism usually includes a rib on the outer side of the middle frame and a groove on the inner wall of the first frame. The sliding engagement between the rib and the groove enables the retractable screen electronic device to guide during its extension and retraction.

[0004] However, when the retractable screen electronic device is in the unfolded state, the protruding ribs on the middle frame are easily visible to users, affecting the appearance of the retractable screen electronic device; after the retractable screen electronic device is dropped, the grooves on the first frame are prone to outward deformation, which increases the frictional resistance of the retractable screen electronic device during the extension and retraction process, affecting the user experience of the retractable screen electronic device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an electronic device that can solve the problems in the prior art where the protruding ribs on the middle frame of the telescopic screen electronic device are easily visible to the user when it is unfolded, and the grooves on the first frame are easily deformed outward after prolonged use or after a drop, resulting in increased frictional resistance during the telescopic process and affecting the user experience of the telescopic screen electronic device.

[0006] This application provides an electronic device, which includes: a first frame and a second frame, wherein...

[0007] A first guide is provided on the inner wall of the first frame, and there is a gap between the first guide and the inner wall of the first frame.

[0008] At least a portion of the second frame is embedded within the gap, while the remaining portion is exposed outside the first frame;

[0009] A second guide is provided on the inner wall of the second frame opposite to the first guide. The second guide is telescopically connected to the first guide to drive the second frame to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first frame.

[0010] In this embodiment, a first guide member is provided on the inner wall of the first frame, and a second guide member is provided on the inner wall of the second frame opposite to the first guide member. The second guide member is telescopically connected to the first guide member, which can drive the second frame to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first frame, thereby adjusting the display area of ​​the flexible screen and realizing the telescopic function of the electronic device. A gap exists between the first guide member and the inner wall of the first frame, and at least a portion of the second frame is disposed within the gap. The second guide member on the second frame is opposite to the first guide member. This avoids the first and second guide members from being exposed, improving the appearance of the electronic device. Furthermore, the first frame effectively protects the first and second guide members, preventing them from deforming outwards due to impacts, reducing frictional resistance during telescopic movement, improving the smoothness and reliability of the telescopic movement, and enhancing the user experience of the electronic device.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 The electronic devices provided in this application will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0026] This application specifically discloses an electronic device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device may specifically include a first frame 2 and a second frame 3, wherein, as... Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a first guide member 4 is provided on the inner wall of the first frame 2, and there is a gap between the first guide member 4 and the inner wall of the first frame 3; at least a part of the second frame 3 can be embedded in the gap, and the other part can be exposed outside the first frame 2; a second guide member 5 is provided on the inner wall of the second frame 3 opposite to the first guide member 4, and the second guide member 5 can be telescopically connected to the first guide member 4 to drive the second frame 3 to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first frame 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, a first guide member 4 is provided on the inner wall of the first frame 2, and a second guide member 5 is provided on the inner wall of the second frame 3 opposite to the first guide member 4. The second guide member 5 is telescopically connected to the first guide member 4, which can drive the second frame 3 to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first frame 2, thereby adjusting the display area of ​​the flexible screen 1 and realizing the telescopic function of the electronic device. There is a gap between the first guide member 4 and the inner wall of the first frame 2, and at least a portion of the second frame 3 is disposed within the gap, with the second guide member 5 on the second frame 3 opposite to the first guide member 4. This avoids the first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5 from being exposed, improving the appearance of the electronic device. Moreover, the first frame 2 can effectively protect the first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5, preventing them from deforming outwards due to impacts, reducing the frictional resistance of the electronic device during telescopic extension and retraction, improving the smoothness and reliability of the electronic device during telescopic extension and retraction, and enhancing the user experience of the electronic device.

[0028] The electronic devices described in this application include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, e-readers, or smart wearable devices.

[0029] Specifically, the electronic device may include a flexible screen 1, which can be connected to the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 respectively, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are close to each other, the flexible screen 1 can retract, and the electronic device can switch to the retracted state. The width of the electronic device is relatively small. Figure 1 As shown, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are far apart from each other, the flexible screen 1 can be unfolded, the electronic device can be switched to the unfolded state, and the electronic device has a large width.

[0030] Specifically, the flexible screen 1 can be an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display screen, which is flexible. Specifically, the flexible screen 1 can have a display portion and a non-display portion. The display portion is the part of the flexible screen 1 exposed on the display side of the electronic device, used for displaying images. The non-display portion can be hidden within the first frame 2 of the electronic device, used to adjust the size of the display portion. The display portion of the flexible screen 1 and the first frame 2 can enclose a receiving space, which can be used to arrange the non-display portion of the flexible screen 1, the second frame 3, the first guide member 4, and devices such as the display module, battery, and chips of the electronic device.

[0031] Specifically, the electronic device may also include a rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the second frame 3, one end of the flexible screen 1 may be fixedly connected to the first frame 2, and the other end may be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the first frame 2, one end of the flexible screen 1 may be fixedly connected to the second frame 3, and the other end may be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft.

[0032] The second frame 3 described in this embodiment can be used to fix components inside the electronic device. Specifically, in the electronic device such as... Figure 1 and 2 When placed as shown, the second frame 3 may include an upper and lower border, a left and right border, which are arranged opposite to each other. The two ends of the left border can be connected to the upper and lower borders respectively, and the two ends of the right border can be connected to the upper and lower borders respectively. Specifically, the first border 31 can be either an upper or lower border; a second guide 5 can be provided on the side of the first border 31 opposite to the first guide 4.

[0033] The first frame 2 described in this application embodiment may be the housing structure of the electronic device, used to protect the second frame 3 and the internal components of the electronic device.

[0034] Specifically, the first frame 2 can be wrapped around the second frame 3; the second frame 3 includes two opposing first borders 31 along a first direction, and a second guide 5 can be provided on the side of the first border 31 facing away from the first frame 2; one end of the first guide 4 can be fixedly connected to the side of the first frame 2 facing the first border 31, and the other end can be spaced apart from the inner wall of the first frame 2 to form the gap; at least a portion of the second frame 3 is disposed in the gap, and the second guide 5 on the second frame 3 can be movably connected to the first guide 4 along a second direction, wherein the first direction can be the length direction of the electronic device, the second direction can be the extension direction of the flexible screen 1, the first direction and the second direction can intersect, and the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be from 0° to 180°, for example, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120° or 145°, etc., which can be set according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0035] Specifically, the first guide member 4 can be slidably connected to the second guide member 5 along the second direction. Since the first guide member 4 is fixedly connected to the first frame 2 and the second guide member 5 is fixedly connected to the second frame 3, under the action of the first guide member 4 and the second guide member 5, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 can be restricted to move relative to each other in the second direction, and thus the size of the electronic device can only be adjusted in the second direction.

[0036] Furthermore, the first guide member 4 is fixedly connected to the first frame 2, allowing the first guide member 4 and the first frame 2 to move synchronously; the second guide member 5 is fixedly connected to the second frame 3, allowing the second guide member 5 and the second frame 3 to move synchronously. Thus, when the first guide member 4 is slidably connected to the second guide member 5 along the second direction, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 can move closer to or further away from each other. Since the flexible screen 1 is connected to the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 respectively, the process of the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 moving closer to or further away from each other can cause the flexible screen 1 to contract or expand, allowing the electronic device to switch between a contracted state and an expanded state.

[0037] Specifically, the first frame 2 may include a first frame 21 and a second frame 22; the first frame 21, the second frame 22, and the flexible screen 1 can enclose and form the receiving space. The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can wrap around opposite sides of the second frame 3; one of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be fixedly connected to the second frame 3, while the other can be slidably connected to the second guide 5 on the second frame 3 via the first guide 4; one end of the flexible screen 1 can be connected to the second frame 3, and the other end can be connected to one of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22.

[0038] Specifically, in the electronic device such as Figure 1 When positioned as shown, the first frame 21 may include an upper shell, a lower shell, a bottom shell, and a left shell, and the second frame may include an upper shell, a lower shell, a bottom shell, and a right shell. The flexible screen 1 can be connected to the top of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, and is opposite to the bottom shells of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, respectively. The upper shells of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can both be opposite to the upper frame, and the lower shells of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can both be opposite to the lower frame. When the second frame 22 is fixedly connected to the second frame 3, the first guide 4 can be fixedly connected to the side of the first frame 21 facing the upper frame, and the second guide 5 can be disposed on the side of the upper frame facing the first frame 21, and / or, the first guide 4 can be fixedly connected to the side of the first frame 21 facing the lower frame, and the second guide 5 can be disposed on the side of the lower frame facing the first frame 21. When the first frame 21 is fixedly connected to the second frame 3, the first guide 4 can be fixedly connected to the side of the second frame 22 facing the upper frame, and the second guide 5 can be disposed on the side of the upper frame facing the second frame 22, and / or, the first guide 4 can be fixedly connected to the side of the second frame 22 facing the lower frame, and the second guide 5 can be disposed on the side of the lower frame facing the second frame 22.

[0039] Optionally, such as Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the first guide member 4 may include a guide portion 41 and a connecting portion 42, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the second guide member 5 can be a guide groove; the guide part 41 can be slidably connected to the guide groove; the guide part 41 and the inner wall of the first frame 2 can be spaced apart to form the gap; one end of the connecting part 42 can be fixedly connected to the guide part 41, and the other end can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first frame 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the guide portion 41 of the first guide member 4 is slidably connected to the guide groove, which can improve the guiding effect of the second guide member 5 on the first guide member 4 and effectively ensure the stability of the second frame 3 relative to the first frame 2 during extension and retraction.

[0041] Specifically, the guide groove can extend along the telescopic direction of the flexible screen 1, and the extension length of the guide groove can be greater than or equal to the maximum telescopic length of the electronic device.

[0042] Specifically, the connecting portion 42 can extend along one end of the guide portion 41 toward the first direction, so that the first guide member 4 can have an L-shaped structure. The connecting portion 42 can be connected to the guide portion 41 and the first frame 2 respectively, for connecting the guide portion 41 and the first frame 2. In the first direction, there is a gap between the guide portion 41 and the first frame 2, and the width of the gap can be less than or equal to the length of the connecting portion 42. The width of the gap can be set according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0043] Furthermore, the guide portion 41 may include a fixed end and a free end. The fixed end of the guide portion 41 may be fixedly connected to the first frame 2 via the connecting portion 42, and the free end of the guide portion 41 may be slidably connected to the guide groove on the second frame 3.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting part 42 and the guide part 41 can be an integrally formed structure, or the connecting part 42 and the guide part 41 can be fixed by means of bonding, threaded connection or welding. The connecting part 42 can be fixedly connected to the first frame 2 by means of bonding, welding or threaded connection, such as... Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the connecting part 42 may also include a connecting seat 421, which may be provided with mounting holes for fixing to the first frame 2. Other situations can be set accordingly, and this application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0045] Specifically, the guide groove can be a straight groove, a stepped groove, etc., and can be set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0046] Furthermore, the structure of the guide part 41 can be configured to correspond to the guide groove. For example, when the guide groove is a straight groove, the corresponding guide part 41 can be a cylindrical structure, a cuboid structure, or a spherical structure ball, etc.; when the guide groove is a stepped groove, the corresponding guide part 41 can be a stepped structure slide rod or slider, etc.

[0047] In some optional embodiments of this application, the guide groove along the first direction may include a first guide groove and a second guide groove, and the guide portion 41 along the first direction may include a first guide portion 411 and a second guide portion 412. The first direction may be the direction from the first guide member 4 to the second guide member 5. The orthographic projection of the second guide groove along the first direction may fall within the orthographic projection of the first guide groove along the first direction. The second guide groove and the first guide groove may be connected to form a stepped groove. The orthographic projection of the second guide portion 412 along the first direction may fall within the orthographic projection of the first guide portion 411 along the first direction. The second guide portion 412 and the first guide portion 411 may be connected to form a stepped rod. The first guide portion 411 may be slidably connected to the first guide groove, and the second guide portion 412 may be slidably connected to the second guide groove.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first guide portion 411 is slidably connected to the first guide groove, and the second guide portion 412 is slidably connected to the second guide groove. This allows the guide groove to provide both guidance and limiting for the guide portion 41, further improving the stability and reliability of the first guide member 4 slidingly connected to the second guide member 5 along the second direction. Furthermore, the first guide portion 411 being embedded in the first guide groove and the second guide portion 412 being embedded in the second guide groove reduces the overall length of the electronic device, achieving optimal overall size and enhancing the competitiveness of the electronic device's appearance.

[0049] Specifically, the first guide portion 411 can be embedded in the first guide groove and slide within the first guide groove, and the height of the first guide portion 411 can be the same as the depth of the first guide groove. The second guide portion 412 can be embedded in the second guide groove and slide within the second guide groove, and the height of the second guide portion 412 can be the same as the depth of the second guide groove.

[0050] Specifically, both the first guide groove and the second guide groove can extend along the second direction, and the extension length of both the first guide groove and the second guide groove can be greater than or equal to the maximum telescopic length of the electronic device.

[0051] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the second guide groove along the first direction falls within the orthographic projection of the first guide groove along the first direction, so that the guide groove can form a stepped groove, and the stepped groove can specifically be a T-shaped groove; the orthographic projection of the second guide portion 412 along the first direction falls within the orthographic projection of the first guide portion 411 along the first direction, so that the guide portion 41 can form a stepped rod, and the stepped rod can specifically be a T-shaped rod.

[0052] Optionally, the second guide groove can be disposed between the first guide member 4 and the first guide groove.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the second guide groove is disposed between the first guide member 4 and the first guide groove, so that the second guide groove can be disposed close to the first guide member 4. Since the orthographic projection of the second guide groove along the first direction falls within the orthographic projection of the first guide groove along the first direction, the first guide groove can also restrict the movement of the first guide part 411 in the length direction of the electronic device.

[0054] Specifically, the second guide groove is disposed between the first frame 2 and the first guide groove, and the corresponding second guide part 412 can be disposed between the second frame 3 and the first guide part 411.

[0055] Optionally, the first guide groove can be disposed between the first guide member 4 and the second guide groove.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the first guide groove is disposed between the first guide member 4 and the second guide groove, so that the first guide groove can be disposed close to the first guide member 4. Since the orthographic projection of the second guide groove along the first direction falls within the orthographic projection of the first guide groove along the first direction, the convenience of arranging the guide groove on the second guide member 5 can be improved.

[0057] Specifically, the first guide groove is disposed between the first frame 2 and the first guide groove, and the corresponding first guide part 411 can be disposed between the second frame 3 and the second guide part 412.

[0058] In some alternative embodiments of this application, a through hole 413 may be provided at the position opposite to the first guide portion 411 and the second guide portion 412 to reduce the weight of the first guide portion 411.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, a through hole 413 is provided at a position opposite to the first guide portion 411 and the second guide portion 412, which can reduce the weight of the first guide portion 411 and is beneficial to the portability of the electronic device.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the electronic device may further include a limiting member 6; the distance between the opposite ends of the limiting member 6 is greater than the width of the first guide member 4; the opposite ends of the limiting member 6 may be respectively disposed on both sides of the first guide member 4, and the opposite ends of the limiting member 6 may be respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the second frame 3 and the first guide member 4.

[0061] In this embodiment, the distance between the two opposite ends of the limiting member 6 is greater than the width of the first guide member 4, and the two opposite ends of the limiting member 6 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first guide member 4 and respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the second frame 3 and the first guide member 4, so that the limiting member 6 can limit the first guide member 4 in the length direction of the electronic device, thereby preventing the second frame 3 from shaking relative to the first frame 2 in the length direction of the electronic device.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 10 As shown, a limit post 61 can be provided at the position opposite to the first guide member 4, such as... Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the side of the first guide member 4 away from the second guide member 5 may be provided with a groove 43 corresponding to the limiting post 61; the limiting post 61 can be slidably connected to the groove 43.

[0063] In this embodiment, the limiting post 61 is slidably connected to the slide groove 43, which can further limit the maximum relative sliding distance between the first frame 2 and the second frame 3, avoid excessive expansion and contraction of the flexible screen 1, and improve the stability of the electronic device in realizing the expansion and contraction function.

[0064] Specifically, the slide groove 43 can be a straight groove, and its length direction can be the same as the extension and retraction direction of the flexible screen 1, so that the slide groove 43 can restrict the limiting post 61 to slide only in the extension and retraction direction of the flexible screen 1.

[0065] Specifically, the limiting post 61 can be a cylindrical structure, a cuboid structure, a cone structure, or a spherical structure, etc., and can be selected according to the actual situation. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0066] Specifically, the slide groove 43 extends along the extension and retraction direction of the flexible screen 1, and the limiting post 61 can slide within the slide groove 43, which can effectively improve the limiting effect of the slide groove 43 on the limiting post 61. Furthermore, since the limiting member 6 is fixedly connected to the second frame 3 and the first guide member 4 is fixedly connected to the first frame 2, the relative sliding distance between the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 can be adjusted, which facilitates the control of the extension and retraction of the electronic device.

[0067] like Figure 8 and 9As shown, when the limiting post 61 slides to the first position 431 of the slide groove 43, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 can retract to their extreme positions relative to each other, the display area of ​​the flexible screen 1 can be adjusted to the minimum state, and the electronic device can be switched to the fully retracted state. The specific structure of the electronic device is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. With the limiting post 61 sliding to the second position 432 of the slide groove 43, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 can be relatively extended to their extreme positions, the display area of ​​the flexible screen 1 can be adjusted to its maximum state, and the electronic device can be switched to a fully extended state. The specific structure of the electronic device is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, during the process of the limiting post 61 sliding from the first position 431 to the second position 432 of the slide groove 43, the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 can gradually unfold relative to each other, and the display area of ​​the flexible screen 1 can gradually increase. The electronic device can switch from a fully retracted state to a fully unfolded state. Since the limiting post 61 can slide within the slide groove 43, the slide groove 43 can limit the limiting post 61, which can prevent the flexible screen 1 from expanding too much and maintain the stability of the electronic device during use.

[0068] In some alternative embodiments of this application, the first guide member 4 may be a steel structure.

[0069] In this embodiment, the steel structure of the first guide member 4 can effectively ensure the structural strength of the first guide member 4, thereby improving the structural stability of the first guide member 4.

[0070] Specifically, the first guide member 4 can be a long strip structure made of steel, or the first guide member 4 can be a T-shaped steel. The specific configuration can be set according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0071] Optionally, the first guide member 4 is provided with a groove on the side facing the second guide member 5, and the second guide member 5 is a protruding structure; the protruding structure can be provided corresponding to the groove and slidably connected to the groove.

[0072] In this embodiment, the protruding structure is correspondingly provided with the groove and is slidably connected to the groove, which can effectively improve the reliability of the sliding connection between the first guide 4 and the second guide 5, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the extension and retraction of the second frame 3 relative to the first frame 2.

[0073] Specifically, the first guide member 4 includes a connecting part 42 and a guide part 41, and the guide part 41 may be provided with the groove on the side facing the second guide member 5.

[0074] Furthermore, the groove can extend along the stretching direction of the flexible screen 1. The extension length of the groove can be equal to the maximum length that the flexible screen 1 can unfold, or the extension length of the groove can be greater than the maximum length that the flexible screen 1 can unfold. The specific setting can be made according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the assembly process of the electronic device may include the following steps:

[0076] Step 1: First, mill a stepped groove on the side of the first frame 31 away from the first frame 2 to serve as the guide rail for the second frame 3. Specifically, the first frame 31 can be the upper or lower frame of the second frame 3, and the stepped groove can extend along the length direction of the first frame 31, which can be the width direction of the electronic device.

[0077] Step 2: Embed the guide portion 41 of the first guide member 4 into the corresponding stepped groove, and fix the connecting portion 42 of the first guide member 4 to the side of the first frame 2 facing the first sidewall 31. Specifically, the guide portion 41 can be a stepped structure corresponding to the stepped groove. The first frame 2 can include a first frame body 21 and a second frame body 22 respectively covering the left and right sides of the second frame 3. The connecting portion 42 can be fixed to the first frame body 21 at the end away from the second frame body 22, or the connecting portion 42 can be fixed to the second frame body 22 at the end away from the first frame body 21.

[0078] Step 3: The limiting post 61 on the limiting member 6 is embedded in the groove on the guide part 41, and the two ends of the limiting member 6 are fixed to the second frame 3 with screws. Specifically, the guide part 41 can be provided with the groove on the side facing the limiting member 6, and the groove can extend along the extension and retraction direction of the flexible screen 1 so that the limiting post 61 can slide in the groove along the extension and retraction direction of the flexible screen 1.

[0079] The electronic device described in this application has at least the following advantages:

[0080] In this embodiment, a first guide member is provided on the inner wall of the first frame, and a second guide member is provided on the inner wall of the second frame opposite to the first guide member. The second guide member is telescopically connected to the first guide member, which can drive the second frame to telescopically extend and retract relative to the first frame, thereby adjusting the display area of ​​the flexible screen and realizing the telescopic function of the electronic device.
