TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic products, and in particular to a rotating mechanism and a foldable electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of technology, the appearance (ID) form of electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablet computers, etc.) has a trend from a straight phone to a folding phone. The folding phone has a large screen in the open state, fully meeting the visual experience of consumers, and has a small volume in the closed state, being convenient to carry. However, in the prior art, when the folding phone is rotated to an unfolded state, the user cannot obtain feedback, thereby causing over-unfolding and damaging the screen. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a rotating mechanism and a foldable electronic device to solve the technical problem that the foldable electronic device in the prior art is prone to over-unfolding and damaging the screen.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a rotating mechanism, comprising a fixed base, a synchronous swing arm, a first clamping piece, a first fixed plate and a second fixed plate. The synchronous swing arm comprises a first synchronous swing body and a second synchronous swing body, and the first synchronous swing body and the second synchronous swing body are respectively installed on opposite sides of the fixed base in the width direction and are rotationally connected with the fixed base. The first clamping piece is installed on the first fixed plate and opposite to the first synchronous swing body, and the first clamping piece is movable relative to the first fixed plate.

[0005] The first fixed plate is in sliding connection with the first synchronous swing body, and the first fixed plate is rotatable relative to the fixed base to drive the first synchronous swing body to rotate relative to the fixed base and slide relative to the first fixed plate. The second fixed plate is in sliding connection with the second synchronous swing arm, and the second fixed plate is rotatable relative to the fixed base to drive the second synchronous swing body to rotate relative to the fixed base and slide relative to the second fixed plate.

[0006] The first fixed plate and the second fixed plate are folded relative to each other, the first clamping piece abuts against the first synchronous swing body and generates an elastic force. The first fixed plate and the second fixed plate are unfolded relative to each other, and the elastic force of the first clamping piece is released to enable the first clamping piece to clamp the first synchronous swing body.

[0007] The rotating mechanism is applied to a foldable electronic device, which comprises a first shell, a second shell and a display screen. The first shell is fixedly connected with a first fixed plate, and the second shell is fixedly connected with a second fixed plate. The rotating mechanism is located between the first shell and the second shell and connects the first shell and the second shell in a rotating mode. The rotating mechanism can drive the first shell and the second shell to rotate relative to each other. The first shell and the second shell are also provided with accommodating grooves for accommodating electronic components such as processors, circuit boards and camera modules and structural components of the electronic device. When the foldable electronic device is in a folded state, the display screen is bent.

[0008] It should be noted that the relative folding of the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate refers to the rotation of the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate towards each other to make the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate stacked. That is, the rotating mechanism is in a folded state. The relative unfolding of the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate refers to the rotation of the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate away from each other to make the included angle between the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate larger and closer to 180 degrees. That is, the rotating mechanism is in an unfolded state.

[0009] The first synchronous swing body and the second synchronous swing body rotate simultaneously, and the rotating directions of the first synchronous swing body and the second synchronous swing body are opposite.

[0010] In this embodiment, when the rotating mechanism is in a folded state, the first clamping member abuts against the first synchronous swing body and generates an elastic force. Rotating the first fixed plate can drive the first clamping member to move relative to the first synchronous swing body. When the rotating mechanism is rotated to an unfolded state, the elastic force of the first clamping member is released, so that the first clamping member clamps the first synchronous swing body. That is, when the rotating mechanism is rotated to an unfolded state, the force acting on the first fixed plate changes suddenly, and the user gets feedback in hand feeling, so that the rotating mechanism can be prevented from being continuously rotated after being rotated to an unfolded state, damage to the display screen can be avoided, and the user's experience can be improved.

[0011] In an embodiment, the first synchronous swing body comprises a first abutting surface provided with a first clamping groove, the first clamping member comprises a first elastic body and a first clamping body, the first elastic body is connected with the first clamping body, the first fixed plate is folded relative to the second fixed plate, the end of the first clamping body abuts against the first abutting surface, and the first elastic body is in a compressed state. The first fixed plate is unfolded relative to the second fixed plate, the first synchronous swing body slides relative to the first fixed plate, drives the first clamping body to slide into the first clamping groove, and the rebound force of the first elastic body makes the first clamping body clamped in the first clamping groove.

[0012] In the embodiment, the first elastic body drives the first clamping body to move by the elastic restoring force, so that when the first clamping body is opposite to the first clamping groove, the first clamping body can move towards the first clamping groove under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic body, and the end of the first clamping body moves into the first clamping groove, so as to realize that the first clamping body clamps the first synchronous swinging body, thereby the structure of the rotating mechanism can be simplified.

[0013] In one embodiment, the end surface of the first clamping piece is an arc surface, and the side wall of the first clamping groove is connected to the first abutting surface by an arc chamfer.

[0014] When the rotating mechanism is folded from the folded state to the unfolded state, the end of the first clamping body slides along the first abutting surface and slides along the side wall of the first clamping groove into the first clamping groove, so as to realize that the first clamping body clamps the first synchronous swinging body. In the embodiment, the side wall of the first clamping groove is connected to the first abutting surface by an arc chamfer, so that the end of the first clamping body can be conveniently slid into the first clamping groove, and the end of the first clamping body can be conveniently slid out of the first clamping groove, thereby the rotating mechanism can be more easily opened and closed.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first clamping body includes a first column and a first abutting block, the first column includes a first clamping end and a first free end, the first clamping end and the first free end are oppositely arranged, the first abutting block is located on the outer periphery of the first column and is fixedly connected with the first column, and the first abutting block protrudes from the outer surface of the first column. The first elastic body is sleeved on the outer surface of the first column and is in contact with the first abutting block, and the first clamping end is directed away from the first elastic body.

[0016] When the first fixed plate is folded relative to the second fixed plate, the first clamping end abuts against the first abutting surface, and the first elastic body is compressed by the first abutting block, so that the first elastic body is in a compressed state; when the first fixed plate is unfolded relative to the second fixed plate, the first clamping end slides into the first clamping groove, the first elastic body is elastically elongated and abuts against the first abutting block, so as to drive the first clamping end to be clamped in the first clamping groove by the first abutting block.

[0017] In the embodiment, the first elastic body is compressed by the first abutting block, so that the first elastic body is in a compressed state, and when the elastic force of the first elastic body is released, the first elastic body abuts against the first abutting block and drives the first clamping end towards the first clamping groove and engages with the first clamping groove, thereby the structure of the rotating mechanism can be further simplified.

[0018] In one embodiment, the synchronous swing arm further comprises a synchronous gear, the first synchronous swing body and the second synchronous swing body are respectively connected to opposite sides of the synchronous gear, and the synchronous gear is installed in the fixed base; when the first fixed plate rotates relative to the fixed base, the first synchronous swing body is driven to rotate relative to the fixed base, so as to drive the second synchronous swing body to rotate relative to the fixed base through the synchronous gear, thereby driving the second fixed plate to rotate relative to the fixed base.

[0019] In this embodiment, the synchronous gear is arranged, so that when the first fixed plate drives the first synchronous swing body to rotate, the first synchronous swing body can drive the second synchronous swing body to rotate through the synchronous gear, thereby driving the second fixed plate to rotate, so as to realize synchronous rotation of the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the rotation mechanism, and improving the user experience.

[0020] In one embodiment, the rotation mechanism further comprises a second clamping piece, the second clamping piece is installed on the second fixed plate and opposite to the second synchronous swing body; the second fixed plate can rotate relative to the fixed base to drive the second synchronous swing body to rotate, and slide relative to the second fixed plate.

[0021] When the second fixed plate is folded relative to the fixed base, the second clamping piece abuts against the second synchronous swing body and generates an elastic force; when the first fixed plate is folded relative to the second fixed plate, the second clamping piece abuts against the second synchronous swing body and generates an elastic force; when the first fixed plate is unfolded relative to the second fixed plate, the elastic force of the second clamping piece is released to enable the second clamping piece to clamp the second synchronous swing body.

[0022] In this embodiment, when the rotation mechanism is in the folded state, the second clamping piece abuts against the second synchronous swing body and generates an elastic force. Rotating the second fixed plate can drive the second clamping piece to move relative to the second synchronous swing body. When the rotation mechanism is rotated to the unfolded state, the elastic force of the second clamping piece is released to enable the second clamping piece to clamp the second synchronous swing body. That is, when the rotation mechanism is rotated to the unfolded state, the force acting on the second fixed plate changes suddenly, and the user can get feedback in hand feeling, so as to avoid the rotation mechanism from being continuously rotated after being rotated to the unfolded state, thereby avoiding damage to the display screen, and further improving the user experience.

[0023] In one embodiment, the second synchronous swing body comprises a second abutting surface provided with a second clamping groove, the second clamping member comprises a second elastic body and a second clamping body, the second elastic body is connected with the second clamping body, the first fixed plate is folded relative to the second fixed plate, the end of the second clamping body abuts against the second abutting surface, and the second elastic body is in a compressed state. When the first fixed plate is unfolded relative to the second fixed plate, the second synchronous swing body slides relative to the second fixed plate, driving the second clamping body to slide into the second clamping groove, and the elastic recovery force of the second elastic body causes the second clamping body to be clamped in the second clamping groove.

[0024] In one embodiment, the second clamping body comprises a second column body and a second abutting block, the second column body comprises a second clamping end and a second free end, the second clamping end and the second free end are arranged oppositely, the second abutting block is located on the outer periphery of the second column body and is fixedly connected with the second column body, and the second abutting block protrudes from the outer surface of the second column body; the second elastic body is sleeved on the outer surface of the second column body and is in contact with the second abutting block, and the second clamping end faces away from the second elastic body. When the first fixed plate is folded relative to the second fixed plate, the second clamping end abuts against the second abutting surface and compresses the second elastic body through the second abutting block, so that the second elastic body is in a compressed state; when the first fixed plate is unfolded relative to the second fixed plate, the second clamping end slides into the second clamping groove, the second elastic body elastically extends and abuts against the second abutting block, so as to drive the second clamping end to be clamped in the second clamping groove through the second abutting block.

[0025] In one embodiment, the elastic recovery force of the second elastic body drives the second clamping body to move, so that when the second clamping body is opposite to the second clamping groove, the second clamping body can move towards the second clamping groove under the action of the elastic recovery force of the second elastic body, and the end of the second clamping body moves into the second clamping groove, so as to realize clamping of the second clamping body to the second synchronous swing body, thereby further simplifying the structure of the rotating mechanism.

[0026] In one embodiment, the fixed base is provided with a first rotating groove and a second rotating groove, and the first rotating groove and the second rotating groove are arranged oppositely. The rotating mechanism comprises a first main swing arm and a second main swing arm, the first main swing arm is installed in the first rotating groove and can slide along the first rotating groove, and the first main swing arm is rotationally connected with the first fixed plate; the second main swing arm is installed in the second rotating groove and can slide along the second rotating groove, and the second main swing arm is rotationally connected with the second fixed plate. When the first fixed plate rotates relative to the fixed base, the first main swing arm can be driven to rotate relative to the fixed base; when the second fixed plate rotates relative to the fixed base, the second main swing arm can be driven to rotate relative to the fixed base.

[0027] The first fixed plate is used for fixed connection with a first shell of the foldable electronic device, and the second fixed plate is used for fixed connection with a second shell of the foldable electronic device. When the first shell rotates relative to the fixed base, the first fixed plate is driven to rotate, thereby driving the first main swing arm to rotate. When the second shell rotates relative to the fixed base, the second fixed plate is driven to rotate, thereby driving the second main swing arm to rotate, so as to realize folding or unfolding of the rotating mechanism, and further ensure the stability of rotation of the rotating mechanism and the foldable electronic device.

The fixed base is provided with an elastic member. One end of the elastic member is fixedly connected with the bottom plate, and the other end is fixedly connected with the floating plate. The elastic elongation direction of the elastic member is parallel to the thickness direction of the fixed base.

[0029] When the rotating mechanism is in the unfolded state, the main swing arm abuts against the floating plate, and the floating plate pulls the elastic member, so that the elastic member is in an elastic elongation state. When the rotating mechanism is in the folded state, the foldable part of the display screen is bent and protrudes outward toward the floating plate, the main swing arm releases the floating plate, the elastic member elastically retracts to a natural state, and the elastic force of the elastic member drives the floating plate to move toward the direction close to the bottom plate to avoid the display screen, so as to avoid the floating plate pressing the display screen and causing damage to the display screen. Of course, when the rotating mechanism is in the folded state, the elastic member can also be in a compressed state under the gravity of the floating plate.

By arranging the second secondary swing arm, when the second fixed plate rotates relative to the fixed base, the second secondary swing arm and the second main swing arm are driven to rotate together, so as to realize the rotation of the second fixed plate relative to the fixed base, thereby increasing the stability of rotation of the second fixed plate.

The second pressing plate and the second fixed plate are in sliding connection by setting the second sliding block on the second pressing plate, setting the second guide groove matched with the second sliding block on the second fixed plate, and sliding the second sliding block in the second guide groove, so as to improve the stability of the second pressing plate sliding relative to the second fixed plate.

Rotating the first fixed plate can drive the first clamping piece to move relative to the first synchronous swing body. When the rotating mechanism is rotated to the unfolded state, the elastic force of the first clamping piece is released, so that the first clamping piece clamps the first synchronous swing body. That is, when the rotating mechanism is rotated to the unfolded state, the force acting on the first fixed plate changes suddenly, the user obtains feedback in terms of hand feeling, so that the rotating mechanism can be prevented from continuing to rotate after being rotated to the unfolded state, damage to the display screen is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

[0078] The foldable electronic device 500 includes the folding device 200 and a display screen 300, and the display screen 300 is mounted on the folding device 200. The display screen 300 includes a display surface 340 and a mounting surface 350, and the display surface 340 and the mounting surface 350 are oppositely arranged. The display surface 340 is used to display text, images, videos, and the like. The display screen 300 includes a first part 310, a second part 320, and a foldable part 330. The foldable part 330 is located between the first part 310 and the second part 320, and the foldable part 330 can be bent along the Y direction. The first part 310, the second part 320, and the foldable part 330 jointly constitute the display screen 300. In this embodiment, the display screen 300 adopts a flexible display screen, for example, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen, a mini organic light-emitting diode display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode display screen, a micro organic light-emitting diode display screen, or a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED) display screen.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 is Figure 5 the partial structure diagram of the rotating mechanism 100 shown in FIG. 1.

[0110] The clamping member 30 is installed on the fixed plate 20. Specifically, the first clamping member 31 is installed in the first receiving groove 216 of the first fixed plate 21, and one end of the first elastic body 312 away from the first abutting block 314 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the first receiving groove 216, and the first clamping end 3131 faces the second sliding groove 215. The elastic elongation direction of the first elastic body 312 is parallel to the length direction of the first fixed plate 21, that is, the elastic elongation direction of the first elastic body 312 is parallel to the Y direction. When the first clamping end 3131 is subjected to an abutting force in the direction towards the first elastic body 312, the first elastic body 312 can be compressed through the first abutting block 314, so that the first elastic body 312 is in a compressed state. When the abutting force of the first clamping end 3131 is released, the first elastic body 312 is elastically elongated and drives the first clamping end 3131 to move towards the direction close to the second sliding groove 215 through the abutting block 314, thereby realizing the movement of the first clamping body 311 in the Y direction.

[0111] In the embodiment, the first clamping member 31 is arranged on the first fixed plate 21, and when the rotating mechanism 100 is in the folded state, the first clamping member 31 abuts against the first synchronous swing body 71 and generates an elastic force. When the rotating mechanism 100 is rotated to the unfolded state, the elastic force of the first clamping member 31 is released, so that the first clamping member 31 clamps the first synchronous swing body 71. That is, when the rotating mechanism 100 is rotated to the unfolded state, the force acting on the first fixed plate 21 changes suddenly, and the user can obtain a feedback in the sense of touch, so that the rotating mechanism 100 can be prevented from being continuously rotated after being rotated to the unfolded state, the display screen 300 can be prevented from being damaged, and the user experience can be improved.

[0112] The second clamping member 32 is installed in the second receiving groove 226, and one end of the second elastic body 322 away from the second abutting block 324 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the second receiving groove 226. The second clamping end 3231 faces the fourth sliding groove 225. The elastic elongation direction of the second elastic body 322 is parallel to the length direction of the second fixed plate 22, that is, the elastic elongation direction of the second elastic body 322 is parallel to the Y direction. When the second clamping end 3231 is subjected to an abutting force in the direction of the second elastic body 322, the second elastic body 322 can be compressed by the second abutting block 324, so that the second elastic body 322 is in a compressed state. When the abutting force of the second clamping end 3231 is released, the second elastic body 322 is elastically elongated, and the second clamping end 3231 is driven by the abutting block 324 to move toward the fourth sliding groove 225, so as to realize the movement of the second clamping body 321 in the Y direction.

[0113] In the embodiment, the second clamping member 32 is arranged on the second fixed plate 22, and when the rotating mechanism 100 is in the folded state, the second clamping member 32 abuts against the second synchronous swing body 72 and generates an elastic force. When the rotating mechanism 100 is rotated to the unfolded state, the elastic force of the second clamping member 32 is released, so that the second clamping member 32 clamps the second synchronous swing body 72. That is, when the rotating mechanism 100 is rotated to the unfolded state, the force acting on the second fixed plate 22 changes suddenly, and the user can obtain a feedback in the sense of touch, so that the rotating mechanism 100 can be further prevented from being continuously rotated after being rotated to the unfolded state, the display screen 300 can be prevented from being damaged, and the user experience can be further improved.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 6 , the clamping member 30 further includes a third clamping member and a fourth clamping member (not shown in the figure). The third clamping member has the same structure as the second clamping member 32, and the third clamping member is installed in the third fixed plate 23.

[0116] The synchronous swing arm 70 comprises a first synchronous swing body 71, a second synchronous swing body 72 and a synchronous gear 73. The synchronous gear 73 comprises a first gear 731, a second gear 732 and an intermediate gear 733. The first gear 731, the intermediate gear 733 and the second gear 732 are arranged side by side, and the intermediate gear 733 is located between the first gear 731 and the second gear 732 and engages with the first gear 731 and the second gear 732. In the present embodiment, the intermediate gear 733 is two. In other embodiments, the intermediate gear 733 can also be one, or three, or more than three.

[0117] The first synchronous swing body 71 comprises a first abutting surface 712. The first abutting surface 712 is one side surface of the first synchronous swing body 71. The first synchronous swing body 71 is provided with a first clamping groove 711, which is recessed in the first abutting surface 712, and the structure of the first clamping groove 711 is matched with that of the first clamping end 3131. Here, the "matched" means that the first clamping end 3131 can be clamped in the first clamping groove 711. The first clamping groove 711 comprises a first side surface 7111. In the present embodiment, the first side surface 7111 is connected with the first abutting surface 712. In the present embodiment, the first side surface 7111 is a circular arc, and the first side surface 7111 and the first abutting surface 712 are connected through a chamfer, so as to facilitate the first clamping piece 31 to slide into the first clamping groove 711 through the first side surface 7111. One end of the first synchronous swing body 71 is fixedly connected with the first gear 731.

[0118] The structure of the second synchronous swing body 72 is the same as that of the first synchronous swing body 71. The second synchronous swing body 72 comprises a second abutting surface 722, and the second synchronous swing body 72 is provided with a second clamping groove 721, which comprises a second side surface 7211. The structure of the second abutting surface 722 is the same as that of the first abutting surface 712, and the structure of the second clamping groove 721 is the same as that of the first clamping groove 711. One end of the second synchronous swing body 72 is fixedly connected with the second gear 732.

[0119] Please refer to Figures 12 to 14 , Figure 14 is Figure 5 Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a part of the rotating mechanism 100 shown in Fig. 1.

[0120] The synchronous swing arm 70 is mounted on the fixed base 10. The synchronous gear 73 is located in the fixed base 10, and the first synchronous swing body 71 and the second synchronous swing body 72 are located on opposite sides of the fixed base 10 in the X direction. The first synchronous swing body 71 extends into the second sliding groove 215 of the first fixed plate 21 from one end away from the first gear 731, and is in sliding connection with the first fixed plate 21, and the first abutting surface 712 and the first clamping groove 711 are towards the first clamping end 3131 of the first clamping body 311. The second synchronous swing body 72 extends into the fourth sliding groove 225 of the second fixed plate 22 from one end away from the second gear 732, and is in sliding connection with the second fixed plate 22, and the second abutting surface 722 and the second clamping groove 721 are towards the second clamping end 3231 of the second clamping body 321.

[0121] Please see Figure 15 and Figure 16 , Figure 15 is Figure 5 the partial cross-sectional view of the rotating mechanism 100 in the folded state, Figure 16 is Figure 5 the partial cross-sectional view of the rotating mechanism 100 in the unfolded state.

[0122] As Figure 15 shown, when the rotating mechanism 100 is in the folded state, the first fixed plate 21 and the second fixed plate 22 are folded relative to each other, the first clamping end 3131 of the first clamping body 311 abuts against the first abutting surface 712 and is arranged in a staggered manner with the first clamping groove 711. When the first clamping end 3131 is subjected to an abutting force in the direction of the first elastic body 312, the first abutting block 314 abuts against the first elastic body 312 and compresses the first elastic body 312, so that the first elastic body 312 is in a compressed state. The second clamping end 3231 of the second clamping body 321 abuts against the second abutting surface 722 and is arranged in a staggered manner with the second clamping groove 721. When the second clamping end 3231 is subjected to an abutting force in the direction of the second elastic body 322, the second abutting block 324 abuts against the second elastic body 322 and compresses the second elastic body 322, so that the second elastic body 322 is in a compressed state.

[0123] When the first fixed plate 21 rotates relative to the fixed base 10 in the direction away from the fixed base 10, that is, when the first fixed plate 21 rotates counterclockwise ω1, the first synchronous swing body 71 is driven to rotate counterclockwise ω1. At the same time, the first synchronous swing body 71 slides in the second sliding groove 215, and the first fixed plate 21 slides relative to the first synchronous swing body 71 in the direction close to the fixed base 10. That is, the first clamping end 3131 moves along the first abutting surface 712 in the direction close to the first clamping groove 711.

[0124] As Figure 16As shown, when the first fixed plate 21 rotates to unfold relative to the fixed base 10, the first clamping end 3131 slides along the first side surface 7111 to be opposite to the first clamping groove 711. The resisting force on the first clamping end 3131 is released, the first elastic body 312 is elastically stretched, the first resisting block 314 is moved towards the first clamping groove 711, thereby moving the first clamping end 3131 towards the first clamping groove 711, and the first clamping end 3131 is clamped in the first clamping groove 711.

[0125] Moreover, when the first synchronous swing body 71 rotates counterclockwise ω1, the first gear 731 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the intermediate gear 733 to rotate, and further driving the second gear 732 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 732 can drive the second synchronous swing body 72 to rotate clockwise ω2, thereby driving the second fixed plate 22 to rotate clockwise ω2 relative to the fixed base 10. Meanwhile, the second synchronous swing body 72 slides in the fourth sliding groove 225, and the second fixed plate 22 slides towards the fixed base 10 relative to the second synchronous swing body 72. That is, the second clamping end 3231 moves towards the second clamping groove 721 along the second resisting surface 722. When the second fixed plate 22 rotates to unfold relative to the fixed base 10, the first clamping end 3131 slides along the first side surface 7111 to be opposite to the second clamping groove 721. The resisting force on the second clamping end 3231 is released, the second elastic body 322 is elastically stretched, the second resisting block 324 is moved towards the second clamping groove 721, thereby moving the second clamping end 3231 towards the second clamping groove 721, and the second clamping end 3231 is clamped in the second clamping groove 721, so as to unfold the first fixed plate 21 and the second fixed plate 22 relative to the fixed base 10.

[0126] In this embodiment, the first clamping groove 711 is arranged on the first synchronous swing body 71, and the second clamping groove 721 is arranged on the second synchronous swing body 72. Moreover, when the rotating mechanism 100 is in the folded state, the first clamping piece 31 resists the first synchronous swing body 71 and generates elastic force, and the second clamping piece 32 resists the second synchronous swing body 72 and generates elastic force. When the rotating mechanism 100 rotates to the unfolded state, the elastic force of the first clamping piece 31 is released, so that the first clamping piece 31 clamps the first synchronous swing body 71. At this time, the acting force on the first fixed plate 21 changes abruptly. The elastic force of the second clamping piece 32 is released, so that the second clamping piece 32 clamps the second synchronous swing body 72. At this time, the acting force on the first fixed plate 21 and the second fixed plate 22 changes abruptly, and the user can obtain feedback in hand feeling, thereby avoiding the rotating mechanism 100 from continuing to rotate after rotating to the unfolded state, and causing damage to the display screen 300.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 13The rotating mechanism 100 further comprises a damping member 2. In the embodiment, the damping member 2 is composed of a plurality of damping pieces which are stacked. The damping member 2 is located in the fixed base 10 and is sleeved on the side of the synchronous gear 73, and the synchronous gear 73 can rotate relative to the damping member 2. When the synchronous gear 73 rotates, there is damping force between the synchronous gear 73 and the damping member 2, so as to improve the opening and closing feeling of the rotating mechanism 100 and improve the user experience.

The second pressing plate 42 comprises a second body 421, a second slider 422 and a fourth slider 423. The second body 421 comprises a third side 4211 and a fourth side 4212, which are oppositely arranged and respectively located at opposite sides of the second body 421 in the X direction.
