[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually a category, and are not limited to the number of objects, for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally represents a "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The embodiments of the present application disclose an electronic device. The disclosed electronic device comprises a first shell 110, a second shell 120, a display screen 200, a first magnetic part 310 and a second magnetic part, wherein:

[0028] The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are rotatably connected, the display screen 200 is arranged on the first shell 110 and the second shell 120, one end of the display screen 200 is connected with the first shell 110, and the other end is connected with the second shell 120, and the display screen 200 can be switched between an unfolded state and a folded state with the rotation of the first shell 110 relative to the second shell 120.

[0029] The display screen 200 comprises a bendable part 210, the bendable part 210 has deformability, so that the display screen 200 can be bent, and the bendable part 210 is opposite to the rotatable connection of the first shell 110 and the second shell 120, in the unfolded state, the bendable part 210 is connected with the first magnetic part 310, the second magnetic part is magnetically matched with the first magnetic part 310, and the first magnetic part 310 drives the bendable part 210 to deform, so as to flatten the display surface 220 of the display screen 200. It should be noted that the flattening of the display surface 220 means that the display surface 220 is located in the same plane.

[0030] The first magnetic member 310 can be connected to the bendable portion 210 by bonding, so that the first magnetic member 310 can drive the bendable portion 210 to deform. The first magnetic member 310 can be a magnet, or the electronic device can further include a hinge, and the first housing 110 can be rotatably connected to the second housing 120 by the hinge, so that the electronic device forms a foldable structure. The hinge can include a floating plate, and the first magnetic member 310 can be a magnet embedded in the floating plate. The floating plate can float with the unfolding or folding of the electronic device, so that when the electronic device is unfolded, the floating plate supports the display screen 200 in the unfolded state, thereby achieving better support for the bendable portion 210. Of course, after the electronic device is folded, the floating plate sinks to avoid the bendable portion 210, so that the bendable portion 210 is bent into a preset shape. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset shape can be a smooth bending shape, such as a water drop shape, a circular arc shape, etc.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, in the unfolded state, the second magnetic member and the first magnetic member 310 magnetically cooperate to drive the first magnetic member 310 to drive the bendable portion 210 to deform, eliminate the protrusion or depression of the bendable portion 210 relative to other regions of the display screen 200, and flatten the display surface 220, thereby improving the user's experience. As can be seen, the electronic device disclosed in the present application can solve the problem in the related art that the bendable portion 210 of the display screen 200 protrudes or is depressed relative to other regions of the display screen 200 in the unfolded state of the electronic device, affecting the user's experience.

[0032] In addition, the protrusion or depression of the bendable portion 210 of the display screen 200 relative to other regions of the display screen 200 will also cause creases to appear on the display screen 200, and as the number of unfolding or folding of the electronic device increases, the creases will become more and more obvious, which not only affects the user's experience, but also affects the service life of the display screen 200. In the embodiment of the present application, in the unfolded state, the flattening of the display surface 220 can alleviate the problem of creases formed on the display screen 200, thereby prolonging the service life of the display screen 200.

[0033] In addition, in the electronic device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the cooperation between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member is non-contact cooperation, and such a driving structure does not need to be directly connected, which not only can simplify the structure of the electronic device, but also can reduce the probability of interference with other components of the electronic device.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member can both be magnets, and in the unfolded state, the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member cooperate to generate a magnetic force just enough to drive the first magnetic member 310 to move the bendable part 210 to a position capable of flattening the display surface 220. The first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member can be magnetically attracted to each other or repel each other.

[0035] In another alternative embodiment, the first magnetic member 310 can be a magnet, and the second magnetic member can be a first coil 320. When the first coil 320 is energized, the first coil 320 can cooperate with the magnet to generate a magnetic force to drive the magnet to move and thus deform the bendable part 210. By adjusting the direction of the current of the first coil 320, the direction of the magnetic force generated by the cooperation of the first coil 320 and the first magnetic member 310 can be adjusted. By adjusting the size of the current of the first coil 320, the size of the magnetic force generated by the cooperation of the first coil 320 and the first magnetic member 310 can be adjusted, thereby more flexibly flattening the display surface 220.

[0036] In the case where the second magnetic member is the first coil 320, in the folded state, the bendable part 210 can be connected to the first magnetic member 310, and the first coil 320 magnetically cooperates with the first magnetic member 310 to drive the first magnetic member 310 to deform the bendable part 210 so that the bendable part 210 is bent into a preset shape. The preset shape can be a water drop shape, and of course, the preset shape can also be other smooth bending shapes, such as a circular arc shape, which is not limited in the present application.

[0037] In this case, by adjusting the direction and size of the current of the first coil 320, both flattening of the display surface 220 and bending of the bendable part 210 into a preset shape can be achieved, and the first coil 320 serves two purposes, thereby facilitating the simplification of the structure of the electronic device. Of course, in the unfolded state and the folded state, the cooperation between the first magnetic member 310 and the second magnetic member is either magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, during the switching of the electronic device from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first coil 320 and the first magnetic member 310 can be attracted to each other, thereby smoothly folding the display screen 200 inward and avoiding the display screen 200 being folded backward.

[0039] The electronic device can further include a first limiting member, and in the flattened state of the display surface 220, the first magnetic member 310 cooperates with the first limiting member in the moving direction of the first magnetic member 310. In this case, the position of the first magnetic member 310 can be more accurately defined, and the first magnetic member 310 is prevented from moving excessively, which can cause the bendable part 210 to move excessively and thus the display surface 220 to be flattened and then protrude.

[0040] For example, in the case that the first magnetic member 310 moves away from the second magnetic member (i.e. the first coil 320) to drive the display surface 220 to flatten, the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member limit fit in the direction in which the first magnetic member 310 moves away from the second magnetic member when the first magnetic member 310 moves to the position at which the display surface 220 flattens; in the case that the first magnetic member 310 moves towards the second magnetic member to drive the display surface 220 to flatten, the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member limit fit in the direction in which the first magnetic member 310 moves towards the second magnetic member when the first magnetic member 310 moves to the position at which the display surface 220 flattens.

[0041] The electronic device can further include a second limiting member 420, and the first magnetic member 310 and the second limiting member 420 limit fit in the moving direction of the first magnetic member 310 in the state in which the bendable portion 210 is bent to the preset shape. In this case, the position of the first magnetic member 310 can be more accurately defined, and the first magnetic member 310 can be prevented from moving excessively, which can cause the bendable portion 210 to be unable to be bent to the preset shape and a crease to be formed on the display screen 200.

[0042] For example, in the case that the first magnetic member 310 moves towards the first coil 320 to drive the bendable portion 210 to bend to the preset shape, the first magnetic member 310 and the second limiting member 420 limit fit in the direction in which the first magnetic member 310 moves towards the first coil 320 when the first magnetic member 310 moves to the position at which the bendable portion 210 bends to the preset shape; in the case that the first magnetic member 310 moves away from the first coil 320 to drive the bendable portion 210 to bend to the preset shape, the first magnetic member 310 and the second limiting member 420 limit fit in the direction in which the first magnetic member 310 moves away from the first coil 320 when the first magnetic member 310 moves to the position at which the bendable portion 210 bends to the preset shape.

[0043] There are various structures for the first magnetic member 310 to limit fit with the first limiting member or the second limiting member 420, and in an alternative embodiment, the first magnetic member 310 can be respectively clamped with the first limiting member or the second limiting member 420 to limit fit the first magnetic member 310 with the first limiting member or the second limiting member 420, and in the process of switching the state of the electronic device, the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member or the second limiting member can be clamped or unclamped with the relative rotation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, so as to switch between limiting and unlimiting.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, in the state that the display surface 220 is flat, the first coil 320 and the first magnetic member 310 can repel each other, and the first magnetic member 310 can abut against the first limiting member and be limited in cooperation with the first limiting member in the direction that the first magnetic member 310 moves away from the first coil 320. In this case, the limiting cooperation between the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member can be realized, and the problem that the first magnetic member 310 is not accurate in position and the display surface 220 is difficult to flatten due to the damage of the clamping parts of the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member caused by frequent clamping or unclamping when the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member are clamped and cooperated can be alleviated.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, in the state that the bendable part 210 is bent into the preset shape, the first coil 320 and the first magnetic member 310 can be attracted to each other, and the first magnetic member 310 can abut against the second limiting member 420 and be limited in cooperation with the second limiting member 420 in the direction that the first magnetic member 310 moves close to the first coil 320. In this case, the limiting cooperation between the first magnetic member 310 and the second limiting member 420 can be realized, and the problem that the first magnetic member 310 is not accurate in position and the bendable part 210 is difficult to be bent into the preset shape due to the damage of the clamping parts of the first magnetic member 310 and the second limiting member 420 caused by frequent clamping or unclamping when the first magnetic member 310 and the second limiting member 420 are clamped and cooperated can be alleviated.

[0046] The first limiting member can include two screen supporting members 410, which are arranged at intervals and located on both sides of the bending axis of the bendable part 210. The screen supporting member 410 can be a plate-shaped structure. The first magnetic member 310 can include a body part and a protruding part, and the protruding part is arranged on the surface of the body part facing the bendable part 210. In the state that the display surface 220 is flat, the protruding part can extend into the space between the two screen supporting members 410, and the body part can abut against the surface of the screen supporting member 410 away from the display screen 200, so as to realize the limiting cooperation between the first magnetic member 310 and the first limiting member.

[0047] In a further technical solution, the end of each of the two screen supports 410 adjacent to the bendable part 210 can be provided with a first step structure, the first step structure can have a first step surface 411 facing the first coil 320 in the unfolded state, and the end of the first magnetic member 310 adjacent to the two screen supports 410 can be provided with a second step structure, the second step structure can include a second step surface 311 facing the bendable part 210, and in the unfolded state of the display surface 220, the two second step surfaces 311 of the first magnetic member 310 respectively abut the first step surfaces 411 of the two screen supports 410. Such a structure is conducive to the thinning of the electronic device, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device, and the thickness direction of the electronic device refers to the direction perpendicular to the display screen 200 in the unfolded state of the electronic device.

[0048] The screen support 410 and the display screen 200 can be bonded together, and in the unfolded state and when the first magnetic member 310 abuts the screen support 410, the surface of the first magnetic member 310 facing the bendable part 210 can be coplanar with the surface of the screen support 410 facing the display screen 200, and the bendable part 210 can be supported by the first magnetic member 310 to flatten the display surface 220.

[0049] The electronic device can further include a base plate and a cover 700, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be rotatably connected to the base plate by a hinge to realize the rotation connection of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and the cover 700 can be fixedly connected to the base plate by a screw or the like, and the cover 700 can be located on the side of the base plate away from the display screen 200. In the folded state, the cover 700 can be exposed outside the electronic device and form a housing of the electronic device together with the first housing 110 and the second housing 120; and in the unfolded state, the cover 700 can be hidden inside the electronic device, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 together form a housing of the electronic device.

[0050] The second limiting member 420 can be fixedly connected to the base plate by a screw, and the first coil 320 can be embedded in the second limiting member 420, and in such a structure, the position of the second limiting member 420 is fixed, which can improve the positional accuracy of the first magnetic member 310 in the folded state, so that the bendable part 210 in the folded state is bent into a preset shape. In addition, the first coil 320 is embedded in the second limiting member 420, and the second limiting member 420 can also play a role in protecting the first coil 320.

[0051] In the above solution, the bendable part 210 is connected with the first magnetic member 310. There are various ways to achieve the connection between the bendable part 210 and the first magnetic member 310. In an optional embodiment, the first magnetic member 310 can be connected with the bending axis of the bendable part 210 by adhesion to achieve the connection between the bendable part 210 and the first magnetic member 310.

[0052] In another optional embodiment, the display screen 200 can include the screen body 230 and the support layer 240 connected in a stack. The screen body 230 and the support layer 240 can be fixed by adhesion. The support layer 240 faces the first magnetic member 310. The support layer 240 can include a magnetic segment 241. The magnetic segment 241 can be opposite to the first magnetic member 310. The magnetic segment 241 is connected with the first magnetic member 310 by magnetic adsorption to achieve the connection between the bendable part 210 and the first magnetic member 310.

[0053] In this case, the connection between the bendable part 210 and the first magnetic member 310 is achieved by magnetic adsorption. Meanwhile, during the switching of the electronic device from the unfolded state to the folded state, the first magnetic member 310 and the first coil 320 are adsorbed to each other. The first magnetic member 310 can adsorb the magnetic segment 241 to move with the first magnetic member 310, thereby driving the display screen 200 to fold in a preset direction. This can play a guiding role in the bendable part 210, thereby avoiding the reverse folding of the display screen 200.

[0054] The support layer 240 can further include a non-magnetic segment 242 or a low-magnetic segment connected with the magnetic segment 241. In this case, the magnetic influence on other components inside the electronic device caused by the support layer 240 as a whole magnetic segment can be alleviated. Optionally, the support layer 240 can be made of stainless steel. The magnetic segment 241 can be made of magnetic stainless steel. The non-magnetic segment 242 can be made of non-magnetic stainless steel. The low-magnetic segment can be made of low-magnetic stainless steel.

[0055] Further, the surface of the first magnetic member 310 facing the bendable part 210 can be a planar structure. In the unfolded state, the area of the bendable part 210 opposite to the first magnetic member 310 can be in contact with the first magnetic member 310. The part of the bendable part 210 in contact with the first magnetic member 310 forms a planar structure. This structure can better maintain the flatness of the bendable part 210, thereby better driving the display screen 220 to flatten. In the folded state, the surface of the first magnetic member 310 facing the second limiting member 420 is in contact with the second limiting member 420, thereby improving the positional reliability of the first magnetic member 310.

[0056] The electronic device can further include a pressure-sensitive button 500, which can be arranged on the first magnetic member 310. In the unfolded state, the sensing surface of the pressure-sensitive button 500 is connected to the bendable portion 210, and in the folded state, the pressure-sensitive button 500 is separated from the bendable portion 210, so that the sensing surface of the pressure-sensitive button 500 is separated from the bendable portion 210. Specifically, in the unfolded state, the pressure-sensitive button 500 can abut against the bendable portion 210, so that the pressure-sensitive button 500 is connected to the bendable portion 210 in abutment. This connection mode facilitates the separation of the pressure-sensitive button 500 from the bendable portion 210, and the bendable portion 210 and the pressure-sensitive button 500 are not easily damaged during the connection and separation processes.

[0057] In the unfolded state, when the pressure-sensitive button 500 is connected to the bendable portion 210, the bendable portion 210 applies pressure to the pressure-sensitive button 500. After the pressure-sensitive button 500 is separated from the bendable portion 210, the pressure applied to the pressure-sensitive button 500 disappears, so that the state of the electronic device can be determined by the force state of the pressure-sensitive button 500.

[0058] The pressure-sensitive button 500 can also function as a button, and can sense the pressure applied to the display screen 200, so that the pressure-sensitive button 500 has a dual-purpose effect and simplifies the structure of the electronic device. At the same time, the state of the electronic device can be determined by the pressure-sensitive button 500, which can eliminate the sensor dedicated to sensing the state of the electronic device and reduce the number of components of the electronic device, thereby reducing the cost of the electronic device.

[0059] The pressure-sensitive button 500 can be embedded in the end portion of the bendable portion 210 away from the bending axis, and the number of pressure-sensitive buttons 500 can be one or more. When the number of pressure-sensitive buttons 500 is more than one, the pressure-sensitive buttons 500 can be arranged at intervals on the first magnetic member 310.

[0060] In a further technical solution, when the pressure applied to the pressure-sensitive button 500 is greater than a preset pressure, the button function of the pressure-sensitive button 500 is enabled. In the unfolded state, when the area of the bendable portion 210 opposite to the pressure-sensitive button 500 is not subjected to an external force, the pressure applied to the pressure-sensitive button 500 is a first pressure, which is less than the preset pressure. In this case, the two functions of the pressure-sensitive button 500 can be prevented from being confused.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further comprises a functional component, and the electronic device can further comprise a flexible electrical connecting element 600. The region between the flexible electrical connecting element 600 and the functional component, in which the distance is less than the preset distance, is a first region, and the region between the functional component and the flexible electrical connecting element 600, in which the distance is less than the preset distance, is a second region. In the first region and the second region, one can be provided with a third magnetic component 330, and the other can be provided with a second coil 340. When the second coil 340 is energized, the third magnetic component 330 and the second coil 340 can cooperate to generate a magnetic force repelling each other.

[0062] In this case, the region between the flexible electrical connecting element 600 and the functional component, in which the distance is relatively small, generates a repelling force, thereby avoiding scratching between the flexible electrical connecting element 600 and the corresponding functional component.

[0063] The flexible electrical connecting element 600 can be a flexible circuit board or a flexible electrical connecting wire. The functional component can include a second limiting component 420, a screen supporting component 410, and a cover 700. Of course, the functional component is not limited to the above-mentioned functional components, and can also include other functional components that can be scratched with the flexible electrical connecting element 600.

[0064] It should be noted that the positions of the flexible electrical connecting element 600 or the functional component can change during the folding or unfolding of the electronic device. Therefore, the first region and the second region can also change during the folding or unfolding of the electronic device. The embodiment of the present application can be provided with the third magnetic component 330 or the second coil 340 in the corresponding regions of the flexible electrical connecting element 600 and the functional component when the distance between the flexible electrical connecting element 600 and the functional component is less than the preset distance in the unfolded state, the folded state, and during the folding or unfolding of the electronic device.

[0065] The flexible electrical connecting element 600 can have a third region 610 provided with the third magnetic component 330 or the second coil 340. During the switching of the electronic device from the folded state to the unfolded state, the third magnetic component 330 or the second coil 340 located in the third region 610 and the third magnetic component 330 or the second coil 340 of the functional component adjacent thereto magnetically cooperate to drive the third region 610 to bend in a preset bending direction.

[0066] In this case, by cooperating the third magnetic component 330 and the second coil 340, the third region 610 is guided to bend in a preset direction, thereby avoiding the bending position and the bending direction of the flexible electrical connecting element 600 being incorrect and causing the flexible electrical connecting element 600 to wrinkle or crack.
