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 advancement of technology, people are becoming increasingly reliant on electronic devices. In pursuit of a better visual experience, the screen sizes of electronic devices are getting larger and larger. However, this larger size significantly reduces portability and user comfort. Foldable screens, on the other hand, are gaining popularity in the market due to their large screen size, which is convenient for office work, and their smaller size, which makes them easy to carry.

[0003] In existing technologies, electronic devices with foldable screens typically have two independent screens. The foldable screen unfolds and folds along with the electronic device during its unfolding and folding process. The foldable screen is used when the electronic device is unfolded, and the independent secondary screen is used when the electronic device is folded.

[0004] However, electronic devices with foldable screens are bulky and heavy because they use two independent screens. Furthermore, foldable screens are usually fixed to the frame with double-sided tape, leaving no room for improvement in screen deformation. As a result, foldable screens are prone to wrinkles and obvious creases, which affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide an electronic device that can solve the problem that the folding screen of existing electronic devices with folding screens is prone to wrinkles and obvious creases.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device including a first body, a second body, a flexible screen, and an adjustment mechanism; the first body and the second body are movably connected, one end of the flexible screen is fixedly connected to the side of the first body away from the second body, and the other end of the flexible screen bypasses the side of the second body away from the first body and is connected to the second body; the adjustment mechanism is disposed between the second body and the flexible screen, and the adjustment mechanism drives the flexible screen to move away from the first body along the direction of the second body.

[0007] In this embodiment, the first and second bodies can switch between unfolded and folded states. When the first and second bodies are unfolded, the flexible screen is flattened. When the first and second bodies are folded, the flexible screen is folded. One end of the flexible screen is fixedly connected to the side of the first body away from the second body, and the other end of the flexible screen bypasses the side of the second body away from the first body and is connected to the second body. It is understood that the flexible screen covers one side of the first and second bodies, and the portion of the flexible screen bypassing the second body away from the first body at least partially covers the other side of the second body. Furthermore, one end of the flexible screen is fixedly connected to the first body, and the other end of the flexible screen is fixedly connected to the second body. An adjustment mechanism is disposed between the second body and the flexible screen, and the adjustment mechanism drives the flexible screen to move away from the first body along the direction of the second body. In practical applications, the flexible screen, which is repeatedly folded, is prone to creases. The adjustment structure is designed to drive the flexible screen to move away from the first body along the direction of the second body, so as to tighten the flexible screen with creases caused by the folding of the first and second bodies to a certain extent, thereby flattening the creases. This has the beneficial effect of optimizing and adjusting screen creases and improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The electronic devices and electronic devices provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0017] See Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including a first body 10, a second body 20, a flexible screen 30, and an adjustment mechanism 40; the first body 10 and the second body 20 are movably connected, one end of the flexible screen 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the first body 10 away from the second body 20, and the other end of the flexible screen 30 passes around the side of the second body 20 away from the first body 10 and is connected to the second body 20; the adjustment mechanism 40 is disposed between the second body 20 and the flexible screen 30, and the adjustment mechanism 40 drives the flexible screen 30 to move along the direction of the second body 20 away from the first body 10.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first body 10 and the second body 20 can switch between an unfolded and a folded state. When the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the unfolded state, the flexible screen 30 is flattened. When the first body 10 and the second body 20 are in the folded state, the flexible screen 30 is folded. One end of the flexible screen 30 is fixedly connected to the side of the first body 10 away from the second body 20, and the other end of the flexible screen 30 bypasses the side of the second body 20 away from the first body 10 and is connected to the second body 20. It is understood that the flexible screen 30 covers one side of the first body 10 and the second body 20, and the portion of the flexible screen 30 bypassing the second body 20 away from the first body 10 at least partially covers the other side of the second body 20. Furthermore, one end of the flexible screen 30 is fixedly connected to the first body 10, and the other end of the flexible screen 30 is fixedly connected to the second body 20. An adjustment mechanism 40 is disposed between the second body 20 and the flexible screen 30, and the adjustment mechanism 40 drives the flexible screen 30 to move away from the first body 10 along the direction of the second body 20. In practical applications, the flexible screen 30, which is repeatedly folded, is prone to creases. The adjustment structure is designed to move the flexible screen 30 away from the first body 10 along the direction of the second body 20, so as to tighten the flexible screen 30, which has creases due to the folding of the first body 10 and the second body 20, to flatten the creases. This has the beneficial effect of optimizing and adjusting screen creases and improving the user experience.

[0019] It should be noted that mobile electronic devices can be mobile phones, tablets, laptops, handheld computers, in-vehicle electronic devices, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., while non-mobile electronic devices can be personal computers (PCs), televisions (TVs), ATMs, or self-service machines, etc. The embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations.

[0020] It should be noted that the electronic devices in the embodiments of the present invention include the mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices described above.

[0021] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the adjustment mechanism 40 includes a first magnetic attraction component 41 and a second magnetic attraction component 42. The first magnetic attraction component 41 is disposed on the side of the flexible screen 30 near the second main body 20, and the second magnetic attraction component 42 is disposed inside the second main body 20 near the flexible screen 30. The first magnetic attraction component 41 and the second magnetic attraction component 42 cooperate with each other to make the flexible screen 30 move along the second main body 20 in a direction away from the first main body 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first magnetic component 41 and the second magnetic component 42 cooperate to tighten the flexible screen 30. The first magnetic component 41 is disposed on the side of the flexible screen 30 near the second main body 20, and the second magnetic component 42 is disposed inside the second main body 20 near the flexible screen 30. An interaction force is generated between the first magnetic component 41 and the second magnetic component 42, causing the flexible screen 30 to move away from the first main body 10 along the second main body 20. This tightens the flexible screen 30, which has creases due to the folding of the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, to a certain extent. The creases are stretched and flattened to a certain extent under stress, which has the beneficial effect of optimizing and adjusting screen creases and improving the user experience.

[0023] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first magnetic attraction component 41 includes a plurality of first magnetic attraction elements 411, which are spaced apart along the movement direction of the flexible screen 30 on the side of the flexible screen 30 near the second main body 20; the second magnetic attraction component 42 includes a plurality of second magnetic attraction elements 421, which are spaced apart along the movement direction of the flexible screen 30 on the side of the second main body 20 near the flexible screen 30; any one of the first magnetic attraction elements 411 and any one of the second magnetic attraction elements 421 are spaced apart, and the plurality of first magnetic attraction elements 411 and the plurality of second magnetic attraction elements 421 cooperate with each other to make the flexible screen 30 move along the second main body 20 in a direction away from the first main body 10.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first magnetic attraction component 41 includes a plurality of first magnetic attraction elements 411, which are spaced apart along the movement direction of the flexible screen 30 on the side of the flexible screen 30 near the second main body 20. The second magnetic attraction component 42 includes a plurality of second magnetic attraction elements 421, which are spaced apart along the movement direction of the flexible screen 30 on the side of the second main body 20 near the flexible screen 30. The first magnetic attraction elements 411 and the second magnetic attraction elements 421 are spaced apart along the movement direction of the flexible screen 30, and the first magnetic attraction elements 411 and the second magnetic attraction elements 421 cooperate with each other, generating an interaction force between them. This causes the flexible screen 30 to move away from the first main body 10 along the second main body 20, thereby tightening the flexible screen 30, which has creases due to the folding of the first main body 10 and the second main body 20, to a certain extent. The creases are stretched and flattened to a certain extent under force, which has the beneficial effect of optimizing and adjusting the screen creases and improving the user experience.

[0025] It should be noted that the spacing between adjacent first magnetic attractors 411 and second magnetic attractors 421 can be the same or different, as long as the force between adjacent first magnetic attractors 411 and second magnetic attractors 421 is the same. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0026] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the adjustment mechanism 40 further includes a flexible support member 43, which is disposed between the second main body 20 and the flexible screen 30. The flexible support member 43 has multiple mounting holes, and multiple first magnetic suction members 411 are disposed in the multiple mounting holes.

[0027] In this embodiment, the flexible support member 43 is used to support the flexible screen 30 mounted on the second main body 20. The flexible support member 43 has a certain elasticity, and when the flexible screen 30 is impacted by an external force, the flexible support member 43 can, to a certain extent, prevent the flexible screen 30 from breaking or being damaged. The flexible support member 43 is disposed between the second main body 20 and the flexible screen 30, and the flexible support member 43 has multiple mounting holes, in which multiple first magnetic components 411 are disposed. The multiple first magnetic components 411 are embedded in the multiple mounting holes. It can be understood that only the thickness of the flexible support member 43 is increased between the flexible screen 30 and the second main body 20. Although the first magnetic components 41 are provided, their thickness is not increased, which has the beneficial effect of tightening the flexible screen 30 without increasing the thickness of the electronic device.

[0028] It should be noted that the flexible support 43 can be made of materials with a certain degree of elasticity, such as foam or lightweight rubber, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0029] Optionally, in this embodiment, two adjacent first magnetic attractors 411 and second magnetic attractors 421 form a magnetic attractor group, and the two adjacent magnetic attractor groups repel each other; the first magnetic attractor 411 includes a first magnetic attractor portion 4111 and a second magnetic attractor portion 4112, the first magnetic attractor portion 4111 and the second magnetic attractor portion 4112 have opposite polarities; the second magnetic attractor 421 includes a third magnetic attractor portion 4211 and a fourth magnetic attractor portion 4212, the third magnetic attractor portion 4211 and the fourth magnetic attractor portion 4212 have opposite polarities; wherein, the first magnetic attractor portion 4111 and the third magnetic attractor portion 4211 have the same polarity; the first magnetic attractor 411 and the second magnetic attractor 421 in any magnetic attractor group attract each other.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first magnetic attractor 411 includes a first magnetic attracting portion 4111 and a second magnetic attracting portion 4112, the first magnetic attracting portion 4111 and the second magnetic attracting portion 4112 having opposite polarities. The second magnetic attractor 421 includes a third magnetic attracting portion 4211 and a fourth magnetic attracting portion 4212, the third magnetic attracting portion 4211 and the fourth magnetic attracting portion 4212 having opposite polarities. Figure 1 As shown, in practical applications, the first magnetic 411 attracts the second magnetic 421 on its right side, and the first magnetic 411 repels the second magnetic 421 on its left side.

[0031] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device further includes a scroll mechanism 50, which is movably connected to the side of the second body 20 away from the first body 10. One end of the flexible screen 30 is fixedly connected to the first body 10, and the other end of the flexible screen 30 is connected to the second body 20 around the scroll mechanism 50. The scroll mechanism 50 is used to drive the flexible screen 30 to move along the second body 20 in a direction away from the first body 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, the scroll mechanism 50 is configured to drive the flexible screen 30 to move along the second body 20 in a direction away from the first body 10. The scroll mechanism 50 is movably connected to the side of the second body 20 away from the first body 10. One end of the flexible screen 30 is fixedly connected to the first body 10, and the other end of the flexible screen 30 is connected to the second body 20 after passing around the scroll mechanism 50. The scroll mechanism can move along the second body 20 in a direction away from the first body 10 to a certain extent, so as to tighten the flexible screen 30, which has creases due to the folding of the first body 10 and the second body 20, to a certain extent. The creases are stretched and flattened to a certain extent under force, which has the beneficial effect of optimizing and adjusting the screen creases and improving the user experience.

[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device further includes a Hall device 60, which is disposed on the second body 20 and electrically connected to the scroll mechanism 50. The Hall device 60 is used to sense the magnetic field strength of the first magnetic attraction component 41. When the change in magnetic field strength is greater than a preset threshold, the Hall device 60 controls the current applied to the scroll mechanism 50 to make the scroll mechanism 50 drive the flexible screen 30 to move away from the first body 10 along the second body 20.

[0034] In this embodiment, the Hall effect device 60 is used to detect the magnetic field strength of the first magnetic attraction component 41. The Hall effect device 60 is disposed on the second main body 20 and electrically connected to the scroll mechanism 50. There is a certain distance between the first magnetic attraction component 41 and the Hall effect device 60. In practical applications, when the flexible screen 30 deforms and produces a crease, the first magnetic attraction component 41 and the Hall effect device 60 move relative to each other, and the Hall effect device 60 detects a change in the magnetic field strength of the first magnetic attraction component 41. When the change in magnetic field strength is greater than a preset threshold, the Hall effect device 60 controls the current applied to the scroll mechanism 50, causing the scroll mechanism 50 to move the flexible screen 30 along the second main body 20 in a direction away from the first main body 10. In this embodiment, when the tension applied to the flexible screen 30 by the adjustment mechanism 40 is no longer sufficient to flatten the crease, and the first magnetic attraction component 41 has a relative displacement with respect to the Hall effect device 60, the Hall effect device 60 controls the current applied to the scroll mechanism 50, causing the scroll mechanism 50 to move the flexible screen 30 along the second main body 20 in a direction away from the first main body 10. The flexible screen 30, which has creases due to the folding of the first body 10 and the second body 20, is stretched to a certain extent, and the creases are stretched and flattened to a certain extent under force. This has the beneficial effect of optimizing and adjusting the screen creases, and improving the user experience.

[0035] Optionally, in this embodiment, the scroll mechanism 50 includes a support member 51 and a telescopic member 52. The support member 51 is disposed on the side of the second body 20 away from the first body 10, and the support member 51 abuts against the flexible screen 30 in the direction away from the second body 20. The telescopic member 52 is connected between the second body 20 and the support member 51. When the change in magnetic field strength is greater than a preset threshold, the telescopic member 52 extends in the direction away from the first body 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support member 51 is disposed on the side of the second body 20 away from the first body 10, and the support member 51 and the flexible screen 30 abut against each other. The support member 51 is provided to provide support for the flexible screen 30 as it bypasses the second body 20. The telescopic member 52 is connected between the second body 20 and the support member 51. When the change in magnetic field strength is greater than a preset threshold, the Hall device 60 controls the current applied to the scroll mechanism 50. The scroll mechanism 50 drives the flexible screen 30 to move away from the first body 10 along the second body 20, and the telescopic member 52 extends in the direction away from the first body 10 to continuously provide support for the flexible screen 30. This design prevents the flexible screen 30 from bending due to lack of support after stretching, thus avoiding negative impacts on user experience.

[0037] Optionally, in this embodiment, the scroll mechanism 50 further includes a magnetic component 53, which includes a first magnetic element 531 and a second magnetic element 532. The first magnetic element 531 is fixedly connected to the support member 51, and the second magnetic element 532 is disposed at one end of the second body 20 near the scroll mechanism 50. When the change in magnetic field strength is greater than a preset threshold, the second magnetic element 532 is energized, and the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 have opposite polarities. The support member 51 drives the flexible screen 30 to move along the second body 20 in a direction away from the first body 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, the magnetic component 53 includes a first magnetic element 531 and a second magnetic element 532, which cooperate with each other. The first magnetic element 531 is fixedly connected to the support member 51, and the second magnetic element 532 is disposed at one end of the second main body 20 near the scroll mechanism 50. When the change in magnetic field strength is less than a preset threshold, the second magnetic element 532 is not energized, and there is no interaction between the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532. When the change in magnetic field strength is greater than the preset threshold, the second magnetic element 532 is energized, the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 have opposite polarities, and the support member 51 drives the flexible screen 30 to move along the second main body 20 in a direction away from the first main body 10.

[0039] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first magnetic element 531 is disposed within the support member 51 on the side near the second main body 20, and the first magnetic element 531 is disposed within the second main body 20 on the side near the support member 51.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first magnetic element 531 disposed within the support member 51 near the side of the second main body 20, and the second magnetic element 532 disposed within the second main body 20 near the side of the support member 51, both save space that would otherwise be required to house the first magnetic element 531 and the second magnetic element 532 in the electronic device. This achieves the beneficial effect of saving internal space in the electronic device while maintaining functionality.
