The elastic member 274 provides an elastic force for the holding member 273 and the push member 271 to abut against each other. The rotating mechanism 253 rotates relative to the positioning seat 251 through the linkage mechanism 26, and the push member 271 rotates relative to the holding member 273.

At this time, the end of the rotating member 254 away from the connecting member 256 is arranged between the middle support member 231 and the positioning seat 251, that is, the two second circular arc rails 2541 are clamped by the positioning seat 251 and the middle support member 231, and one of the circular arc surfaces of the second circular arc rail 2541 can be rotatably fitted on the inner surface of the second circular arc groove 2511, and the second circular arc rail 2541 can rotate relative to the positioning seat 251 through the second circular arc rail 2541; the two pairs of linkage members 264 are respectively opposite to the first avoidance opening 2317 of the middle support member 231. Then place the two side support members 233 on the opposite sides of the middle support member 231, and the two first arc rails 2562 of each connecting member 256 are respectively inserted into the two first arc grooves 2334 of the corresponding side support member 233, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 of the rotating member 254 is slidably inserted into the slide groove 2336 of the side support member 233, and the three second avoidance openings 2337 of the side support member 233 are respectively opposite to the rotating member 254, the linkage member 264 and the linkage member 264a. When the side support member 233 and the middle support member 231 are in a flattened state, the side support member 233 and the middle support member 231 are arranged side by side, the first circular arc rail 2562 is rotatably accommodated in the corresponding first circular arc groove 2334, the guide slide column 2548 is located at the second end of the slide groove 2336, the first guide slide shaft 2540 is located at the first positioning section 2640a of the first arc groove 2640, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 is located at the first positioning section 2561a of the second arc groove 2561.

[0070] At this time, the first arc groove 2640 bends toward the side away from the side support member 233, that is, the guide sliding section 2640c of the first arc groove 2640 bends toward the side away from the side support member 233; the second arc groove 2561 bends toward the side close to the side support member 233, that is, the guide sliding section 2561c of the second arc groove 2561 bends toward the side away from the side support member 233; the first arc groove 2640 is closer to the side support member 233 than the second arc groove 2561.

[0071] When the connecting member 256 drives the rotating member 254 to rotate relative to the positioning seat 251, the linkage members 264, 264a rotate relative to the linkage seat 261, and the rotating mechanism 253 drives the side support member 233 to rotate and slide relative to the positioning seat 251, so that the side support member 233 and the middle support member 231 are synchronously bent or synchronously unfolded. Specifically, the rotating member 254 rotates relative to the positioning seat 251 through the second circular arc rail 2541 and the second circular arc groove 2511; the linkage member 264 rotates along the corresponding rotating shaft 266 with the rotating mechanism 253, so that the first gear 2645 of the linkage member 264, 264a is rotationally engaged with the corresponding second gear 2652, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the two pairs of linkage members of the limiting mechanism 27, the first guide slide shaft 2540 slides and rotates in the first arc groove 2640, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 slides and rotates in the second arc groove 2561; the first circular arc rail 2562 of the connecting member 256 is rotationally connected to the corresponding first circular arc groove 2334, and the guide slide column 2548 slides and rotates in the slide groove 2336, thereby realizing the mutual bending or mutual unfolding of the side support member 233 and the middle support member 231.

[0072] like Figure 19-Figure 32When the rotating shaft device 22 is bent from a flat state, one of the connecting members 256 is bent toward the other connecting member 256 relative to the positioning seat 251, and one of the connecting members 256 drives the second arc rail 2541 of the rotating member 254 to rotate in the second arc groove 2511 of the positioning seat 251, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 on the rotating member 254 slides and rotates in the corresponding first arc groove 2640, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 moves from the first positioning section 2640a to the second positioning section 2640b, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 on the linkage member 264 rotates and slides in the corresponding second arc groove 2561, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 moves from the first positioning section 2561a to the second positioning section 2561b, so as to drive the corresponding linkage members 264, 264a to rotate along the rotating shaft 266. The rotation of the linkage members 264, 264a drives the corresponding first gear 2645 to rotate, and the corresponding two first gears 2645 are driven to rotate synchronously through the gear combination 265, and the synchronously rotating first gear 2645 drives the corresponding two linkage members 264 to move synchronously closer to each other; at the same time, the connecting member 256 drives the first arc rail 2562 to be rotationally connected to the corresponding first arc groove 2334, and the guide slide column 2548 on the rotating member 254 slides from the second end to the first end in the corresponding slide groove 2336; at the same time, the linkage members on the opposite sides of the linkage seat 261 rotate synchronously relative to the linkage seat 261 and move closer to each other, so as to drive the two side support members 233 to move synchronously closer to each other, until the two side support members 233 and the middle support member 231 form a water drop-shaped cross section.

[0073] During the above process, when the side support member 233 is bent relative to the middle support member 231, the first guide slide shaft 2540 slides from the end of the first arc groove 2640 close to the middle support member 231 (i.e., the first positioning section 2640a of the first guide slide shaft 2540) to the end away from the middle support member 231 (i.e., the second positioning section 2640b of the first guide slide shaft 2540), and the second guide slide shaft 2641 slides from the end of the second arc groove 2561 away from the middle support member 231 (i.e., the first positioning section 2561a of the second guide slide shaft 2641) to the end close to the middle support member 231 (i.e., the second positioning section 2561b of the second guide slide shaft 2641). The guide slide column 2548 slides from the end of the slide groove 2336 away from the middle support member 231 (i.e., the second end of the slide groove) to the end close to the middle support member 231 (i.e., the first end of the slide groove). The axial force between the first cam 2710 and the corresponding second cam 2730 on each rotating shaft 266 is equal to the elastic force of the elastic member 274; the friction resistance between the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 can limit the two side support members 233 to a specific angle between 70 degrees and 130 degrees.

[0074] In other usage modes, the two connecting members 256 can be rotated together in opposite directions, and each connecting member 256 rotates relative to the second arc groove 2511 corresponding to the positioning seat 251 through the corresponding second arc rail 2541 of the rotating member 254, so as to drive the linkage members 264, 264a of the limiting mechanism 27 to rotate along the corresponding rotating shaft 266; at the same time, the two connecting members 256 synchronously drive the first arc rail 2562 to be rotatably connected to the first arc groove 2334 corresponding to the side support member 233, the guide slide column 2548 on the rotating member 254 slides and rotates in the corresponding slide groove 2336 of the side support member 233, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 on the rotating member 254 slides and rotates in the corresponding first arc groove 2640, so that the first guide slide shaft 2540 moves from the first positioning section 2640 to the first arc groove 2640. a moves to the second positioning section 2640b; the rotation of the linkage member 264 drives the corresponding first gear 2645 to rotate, and the corresponding two first gears 2645 are driven to rotate synchronously through the gear combination 265.

[0075] When the rotating shaft device 22 is unfolded from a completely bent state, one of the connecting members 256 is unfolded relative to the positioning seat 251 toward away from the other connecting member 256, and one of the connecting members 256 drives the second arc rail 2541 of the rotating member 254 to rotate in the second arc groove 2511 of the positioning seat 251, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 of the rotating member 254 slides and rotates in the corresponding first arc groove 2640, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 moves from the second positioning section 2640b to the first positioning section 2640a; the second guide slide shaft 2641 on the linkage member 264 rotates and slides in the corresponding second arc groove 2561, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 moves from the second positioning section 2561b to the first positioning section 2561a, so as to drive the corresponding linkage members 264, 264a to rotate along the rotating shaft 266. At the same time, the connecting member 256 drives the first arc rail 2562 to be rotatably connected to the corresponding first arc groove 2334, and the guide slide column 2548 on the rotating member 254 slides from the first end and rotates to the second end in the corresponding slide groove 2336; the rotation of the linkage members 264, 264a drives the corresponding first gear 2645 to rotate, and the corresponding two first gears 2645 are driven to rotate synchronously through the gear combination 265, and the synchronously rotating first gears 2645 drive the corresponding two linkage members 264 to move away from each other synchronously; at the same time, the rotating mechanisms 253 on the opposite sides of the limiting mechanism 27 rotate synchronously relative to the positioning seat 251 and move away from each other, so as to drive the two side support members 233 to expand synchronously with each other until the two side support members 233 and the middle support member 231 are flattened.

[0076] In the above process, when the side support member 233 is flattened relative to the middle support member 231, the first guide slide shaft 2540 slides from one end of the first arc groove 2640 away from the middle support member 231 (that is, the second positioning section 2640b of the first guide slide shaft 2540) to one end close to the middle support member 231 (that is, the first positioning section 2640a of the first guide slide shaft 2540), and the second guide slide shaft 2641 slides from one end of the second arc groove 2561 close to the middle support member 231 (the second positioning section 2561b of the second guide slide shaft 2641) to one end away from the middle support member 231 (that is, the first positioning section 2561a of the second guide slide shaft 2641); the guide slide column 2548 slides from one end of the slide groove 2336 close to the middle support member 231 (that is, the first end of the slide groove) to one end away from the middle support member 231 (that is, the second end of the slide groove). The axial force on the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 on each rotating shaft 266 is equal to the elastic force of the elastic member 274; the friction resistance between the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 can limit the two side support members 233 to a specific angle between 130 degrees and 70 degrees.

[0077] In other usage modes, the two connecting members 256 can be rotated together in the direction away from each other, and each connecting member 256 drives the second arc track 2541 of the rotating member 254 to rotate relatively along the second arc groove 2511 of the positioning seat 251, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 of the rotating member 254 slides and rotates in the corresponding first arc groove 2640, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 moves from the second positioning section 2640b to the first positioning section 2640a; the second guide slide shaft 2641 on the linkage member 264 rotates and slides in the corresponding second arc groove 2561, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 moves from the second positioning section 2561b to the first positioning section 2561a, so as to drive the corresponding linkage members 264, 264a to rotate along the rotating shaft 266; When the first arc rail 2562 is connected to the corresponding first arc groove 2334, the connecting member 256 drives the first arc rail 2562 to be rotatably connected to the corresponding first arc groove 2334, and the guide slide column 2548 on the rotating member 254 slides from the first end and rotates to the second end in the corresponding slide groove 2336; the rotation of the linkage members 264 and 264a drives the corresponding first gear 2645 to rotate, and the corresponding two first gears 2645 are driven to rotate synchronously through the gear combination 265, and the synchronously rotating first gears 2645 drive the corresponding linkage members 264 to move away from each other synchronously; at the same time, the rotating mechanisms 253 on the opposite sides of the limiting mechanism 27 rotate synchronously relative to the positioning seat 251 and move away from each other, so as to drive the two side support members 233 to move away from each other synchronously until the two side support members 233 are flush with the middle support member 231.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first guide slide shaft 2540 on the rotating member 254 and the first arc groove 2640 on the linkage member 264 can be interchangeable, that is, the first arc groove 2640 can be provided on the side of the rotating member 254 facing the linkage member 264, the first guide slide shaft 2540 can be fixed to the linkage member 264, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 is slidably and rotatably inserted in the first arc groove 2640. Specifically, a first arc groove is provided on the side of the connecting member 256 facing the linkage member 264, and a first guide slide shaft that can be movably inserted in the first arc groove is provided on the linkage member 264. In the process of bending or unfolding the rotating shaft device 22, the first guide slide shaft slides and rotates in the first arc groove.

In the process of bending or unfolding the rotating shaft device 20, the second guide slide shaft slides and rotates in the second arc groove.

[0080] In some embodiments, the guide slide column 2548 on the rotating member 254 and the slide groove 2336 on the side support member 233 can be interchangeable. Specifically, a slide groove is provided on the side of the connecting portion 2542 of the rotating member 254 facing the guide sliding block 2335, and a guide slide column that can be movably inserted in the slide groove is provided on the side support member 233. During the bending or unfolding of the rotating shaft device 20, the guide slide column slides and rotates in the slide groove.

[0081] Please also read Figure 1-Figure 4 , place the installed rotating shaft device 22 between the two frames 21, place the connecting pieces 256 on opposite sides of the back cover 28 in the receiving grooves 216 of the two frames 21, and fix the two connecting pieces 256 to the two frames 21. At this time, the front faces 211 of the two frames 21, the front faces of the two side support pieces 233, and the front face 2311 of the middle support piece 231 are coplanar. The back face of the flexible piece 30 is connected to the front faces 2331 of the two frames 21 and the front face 2311 of the support mechanism 23, the bendable area 31 faces the support mechanism 23, and the two non-bending areas 33 face the front faces of the two frames 21 respectively. When the flexible member 30 is in a flattened state, the middle support member 231 is flush with the two side support members 233, and the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 are fitted together to limit the support mechanism 23 to maintain a flattened state; since the front of the support mechanism 23 is a complete surface, the flexible member 30 will not be impacted by the step difference when flattened, and the flexible member 30 will not have color spots, bright spots and other undesirable problems, thereby ensuring the reliability of the flexible member 30. At the same time, the touch feel of the flexible member 30 is also improved, and the user experience is improved; in addition, the rotating member 254 and the linkage member 264 are connected by the first arc groove and the first guide shaft, and the linkage member 264 and the connecting member 256 are connected by the second arc groove and the second guide shaft. The bending direction of the first arc groove is opposite to the bending direction of the second arc groove. Therefore, the connection between the components in the rotating shaft device 22 can be made more compact, thereby reducing the overall width of the rotating shaft device 22, reducing the internal space occupied by the shell 20, and facilitating the layout of other components such as the motherboard or battery.

[0082] Please also read Figure 29-Figure 35 When the electronic device 100 is bent, a bending force is applied to at least one of the two frames 21 of the electronic device 100, so that the rotating mechanism 253 connected to the two frames 21 rotates in a direction close to each other, and the bending of the hinge device 22 is achieved through the linkage assembly 26, and the bendable area 31 of the flexible member 30 is bent along with the supporting mechanism 23. Specifically, if a bending force is applied to one of the frames 21, the one of the frames 21 drives the corresponding rotating member 254 to rotate relative to the positioning seat 251 toward the side close to the flexible member 30, and the second circular arc track 2541 of the rotating member 254 rotates relative to the second circular arc groove 2511 of the positioning seat 251, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 slides and rotates in the corresponding first arc groove 2640, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 moves from the first positioning section 2640a to the second positioning section 2640b, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 It rotates and slides in the corresponding second arc groove 2561, and the second guide shaft 2641 moves from the first positioning section 2561a to the second positioning section 2561b to drive the corresponding linkage members 264, 264a to rotate along the rotating shaft 266. The rotation of the linkage members 264, 264a drives the corresponding first gear 2645 to rotate, and the corresponding two first gears 2645 are driven to rotate synchronously through the gear combination 265. The synchronously rotating first gear 2645 drives the corresponding two linkage members 264 to move synchronously closer to each other. At the same time, the connecting member 256 drives the first arc rail 2562 to be rotatably connected to the corresponding first arc groove 2334, and the guide slide column 2548 slides and rotates from the second end to the first end in the corresponding slide groove 2336; at the same time, the rotating mechanisms 253 on both sides of the limiting mechanism 27 rotate synchronously relative to the positioning seat 251 and move closer to each other, so as to drive the two side support members 233 to move closer to each other synchronously, so that the hinge device 22 is in a bent state; the bendable area 31 of the flexible member 30 bends with the hinge device 22 until the front sides of the two non-bending areas 33 of the flexible member 30 fit each other, and the bendable area 31 bends into a water drop shape, thereby realizing seamless folding of the electronic device 100.

[0083] In the above process, the friction torque between the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 on each rotating shaft 266 is greater than the rebound force of the flexible member 30, so that the two side support members 233 are relatively positioned at a specific angle, and the two frames 21 can be limited to a specific angle between 70 degrees and 130 degrees. The bendable area 31 of the flexible member 30 is bent into a water drop shape, reducing the duty cycle of the bendable area 31 after bending, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device 100.

[0084] In other bending methods of the electronic device 100 , a bending force may be applied to the two frames 21 at the same time. The two frames 21 respectively drive the two rotating mechanisms 253 to rotate toward the side close to the flexible member 30 , and the electronic device 100 is bent through the rotating shaft device 22 .

[0085] When the electronic device 100 needs to be flattened, one of the frames 21 is pulled outward, so that the two rotating mechanisms 253 connected to the two frames 21 rotate in directions away from each other. Specifically, a force is applied to one of the frames 21 of the electronic device 100 to pull it outward, and the one of the frames 21 drives the corresponding rotating member 254 to rotate relative to the positioning seat 251 toward the side away from the flexible member 30, and the second circular arc track 2541 of the rotating member 254 rotates relatively along the second circular arc groove 2511 of the positioning seat 251, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 of the rotating member 254 slides and rotates in the corresponding first arc groove 2640, and the first guide slide shaft 2540 moves from the second positioning section 2640b to the first positioning section 2640a; the second guide slide shaft 2641 on the linkage member 264 rotates and slides in the corresponding second arc groove 2561, and the second guide slide shaft 2641 moves from the second positioning section 2561b to the first positioning section 2561a; so as to drive the corresponding linkage members 264264, 264a to rotate along the rotation axis 2 66 rotates; at the same time, the connecting member 256 drives the first arc rail 2562 to be rotatably connected to the corresponding first arc groove 2334, and the guide slide column 2548 on the rotating member 254 slides from the first end and rotates to the second end in the corresponding slide groove 2336; the rotation of the linkage member 264 drives the corresponding first gear 2645 to rotate, and the corresponding two first gears 2645 are driven to rotate synchronously through the gear combination 265, and the synchronously rotating first gears 2645 drive the corresponding two linkage members 264 to move away from each other synchronously; at the same time, the rotating mechanisms 253 on the opposite sides of the limiting mechanism 27 rotate synchronously relative to the positioning seat 251 and move away from each other, so as to drive the two side support members 233 to move away from each other synchronously and flatten, so that the shaft device 22 is unfolded, and the bendable area 31 of the flexible member 30 is unfolded with the shaft device 22 until the flexible member 30 is flattened.

[0086] In the above process, the sum of the friction torques between the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 on each rotating shaft 266 is greater than the rebound force of the flexible member 30, so that the two side support members 233 are relatively positioned at a specific angle, and the two frames 21 can be limited to a specific angle between 130 degrees and 70 degrees.

[0087] In other bending methods of the electronic device 100 , a force pulling outward can be applied to the two frames 21 at the same time, and the two frames 21 respectively drive the two rotating mechanisms 253 to rotate relative to the side away from the flexible member 30 , and the electronic device 100 can be unfolded through the rotating shaft device 22 .

[0088] The hinge device 22 of the electronic device 100 of the present invention is synchronously bent or unfolded through the rotating component 25 and the linkage component 26. Since the rotating member 254 and the linkage member 264 and the linkage member 264 and the connecting member 256 are connected by the arc groove and the guide shaft, the connection between the various components in the hinge device 22 can be made more compact, thereby reducing the overall width of the hinge device 22 and reducing the internal space occupied by the shell 20, which is beneficial to the layout of other components such as the motherboard or the battery; secondly, since the elastic member 274 of the limiting mechanism 27 can provide a large axial force, a large friction torque is provided between the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730; therefore, the total friction torque of the hinge device 22 formed by the friction torque between the first cam 2710 and the second cam 2730 is large enough to achieve the bending limit of the electronic device 100 at a specific angle between 70 degrees and 130 degrees, thereby realizing the hovering function of the whole machine. In addition, the linkage component 26 of the hinge device 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating component 25 via the rotating shaft 266 and the positioning hole 2516 of the positioning seat 251, the rotating member 254 and the linkage member 264 are connected via the first guide slide 2540 axis, the linkage member 264 and the connecting member 256 are connected via the second guide slide axis 2641, the side support member 233 is connected to the rotating member 254 via the guide slide column 2548, and the opposite ends of the side support member 233 away from the middle support member 231 are respectively connected to the connecting member 256, thereby making the structure of the hinge device 22 firm and improving the overall strength of the electronic device 100.

[0089] The above is an implementation of the embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the embodiment of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
