Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 4 ,in Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the sliding part 12 is in the first position relative to the fixed part 11. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The opposite side. Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the sliding part 12 is in the second position relative to the fixed part 11. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The opposite sides. This disclosure provides an electronic device including a first body 1 and a second body 2, which are connected by a hinge to allow them to be folded or unfolded relative to each other. The electronic device of this disclosure includes a laptop computer, where the first body 1 is the display unit of the laptop computer, and the second body 2 is the control unit of the laptop computer.

[0037] In this embodiment of the disclosure, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figures 5 to 8 ,in Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the sliding part 12 is in the first position relative to the fixed part 11. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The opposite side. Figure 7 and Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the sliding part 12 is in the second position relative to the fixed part 11. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The opposite side. The first main body 1 includes a fixed part 11, a sliding part 12, a driving component 13, and a flexible screen 3. The fixed part 11 is connected to the second main body 2 by a hinge; the sliding part 12 is slidably connected to the fixed part 11; the driving component 13 is disposed on the fixed part 11 and is used to drive the sliding part 12 to slide relative to the fixed part 11; the flexible screen 3 has a first edge 31 and a second edge 32 disposed opposite to each other. The first edge 31 is disposed on the sliding part 12, and the second edge 32 is disposed on the second main body 2; the flexible screen 3 can be at least partially housed in the first main body 1 through its first edge 31 and / or at least partially housed in the second main body 2 through its second edge 32, so as to adapt to the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12.

[0038] The sliding part 12 slides relative to the fixed part 11, causing the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 to change accordingly, that is, the area of ​​the first main body 1 can be changed. The sliding part 12 slides relative to the fixed part 11 to move closer to or further away from the end connected to the second main body 2.

[0039] The fixed part 11 includes a first end 111 and a second end 112, and the sliding part 12 has a third end 121 and a fourth end 122, respectively. The first end 111 of the fixed part 11 is connected to the second body 2 via a hinge, and the second end 112 is connected to the sliding part 12. The third end 121 of the sliding part 12 is closer to the first end 111 of the fixed part 11 than the fourth end 122. When the sliding part 12 moves away from the first end 111 of the fixed part 11 relative to the fixed part 11, the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 increases accordingly. When the sliding part 12 moves closer to the first end 111 of the fixed part 11 relative to the fixed part 11, the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 decreases accordingly.

[0040] The flexible screen 3 can adapt to the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 increases, the portion of the flexible screen 3 that is housed decreases accordingly, so that the exposed portion of the flexible screen 3 adapts to the increased area of ​​the first main body 1, thereby increasing the portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 decreases, the portion of the flexible screen 3 that is housed increases accordingly, so that the exposed portion of the flexible screen 3 adapts to the decreased area of ​​the first main body 1, thereby decreasing the portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display. By moving the fixed part 11 relative to the sliding part 12, the area of ​​the first main body 1 can be adapted to the second main body 2 for easy carrying, or by moving the fixed part 11 relative to the sliding part 12, the area of ​​the first main body 1 can be larger than the second main body 2, increasing the display size of the screen, thus resolving the contradiction between minimizing the size of the electronic device and maximizing the display size.

[0041] When the flexible screen 3 adapts to the size changes caused by the movement of the fixed part 11 relative to the sliding part 12, it can be partially housed within the first main body 1 via the first edge 31, with the second edge 32 fixedly connected to the first end 111 of the fixed part 11, and the flexible screen 3 slidably connected to the fourth end 122 of the sliding part 12. The first edge 31 is located within the first main body 1. As the overall size of the flexible screen 3 adapts to changes in the size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12, the amount of flexible screen 3 housed changes accordingly. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 increases, the flexible screen 3 housed within the first main body 1 is released to adapt to the increased size of the first main body 1. The portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display increases with the increase in the size of the first main body 1, and the length of the released flexible screen 3 is equal to the distance the sliding part 12 moves relative to the fixed part 11. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 decreases, the excess portion of the flexible screen 3 is housed within the first main body 1 via the first edge 31, and the portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display decreases with the decrease in the size of the first main body 1.

[0042] When the flexible screen 3 adapts to the size changes caused by the movement of the fixed part 11 relative to the sliding part 12, it can also be partially housed within the second main body 2 via the second edge 32, with the first edge 31 fixedly connected to the fourth end 122 of the sliding part 12. As the overall size of the flexible screen 3 adapts to changes in the size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12, the amount of flexible screen 3 housed changes accordingly. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 increases, the flexible screen 3 housed within the second main body 2 is released to adapt to the increased size of the first main body 1. The portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display increases with the increase in the size of the first main body 1, and the released length of the flexible screen 3 is equal to the distance the sliding part 12 moves relative to the fixed part 11. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 decreases, the flexible screen 3 houses the excess portion within the second main body 2 via the second edge 32, and the portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display decreases with the decrease in the size of the first main body 1. Since the first edge 31 is fixed to the fourth end 122, as the overall size of the first main body 1 increases, the first edge 31 moves together with the sliding part 12, releasing the flexible screen 3 housed within the second main body 2. When the size of the display portion of the flexible screen 3 is increased, the electronic device is in use, and the first main body 1 opens at a certain angle relative to the second main body 2, for example, the included angle is 110°. The first edge 31 is fixed to the fourth end 122, and the second edge 32 is located within the second main body 2, which can prevent the flexible screen 3 from having a large folding angle during movement.

[0043] Alternatively, when the flexible screen 3 adapts to the dimensional changes caused by the movement of the fixed part 11 relative to the sliding part 12, the first edge 31 is partially housed within the first main body 1, while the second edge 32 is partially housed within the second main body 2, and the flexible screen 3 is slidably connected to the fourth end 122. As the overall size of the flexible screen 3 adapts to changes in the size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12, the amount of flexible screen 3 housed changes accordingly. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 increases, the flexible screen 3 housed within the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 is released to adapt to the increased size of the first main body 1. The portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display increases with the increase in the size of the first main body 1, and the length of the released flexible screen 3 is equal to the distance the sliding part 12 moves relative to the fixed part 11. When the overall size of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12 decreases, the flexible screen 3, through the first edge 31 and the second edge 32, houses the excess portion within the first main body 1, and the portion of the flexible screen 3 used for display decreases with the decrease in the size of the first main body 1.

[0044] The driving component 13 is mounted on the fixed part 11. When the driving component 13 drives the sliding part 12 to slide relative to the fixed part 11, the size of the first main body 1 changes accordingly. The flexible screen 3 adapts to the size change of the first main body 1, thereby increasing the area of ​​the display portion. The driving component 13, being mounted on the first main body 1, can directly drive the sliding part 12, making its movement smoother. The driving component 13's placement on the first main body 1 avoids occupying space in the second main body 2, eliminating the need for redesigning the internal layout of the second main body 2.

[0045] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, the drive assembly 13 includes a motor 131, a lead screw 132, and a slider 133. The motor 131 is fixed to the fixed part 11; the lead screw 132 is rotatably mounted on the fixed part 11 and rotates under the drive of the motor 131; the slider 133 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 132 and moves along the lead screw 132 as the lead screw 132 rotates. The slider 133 is fixedly connected to the sliding part 12 so that the sliding part 12 moves relative to the fixed part 11 under the drive of the slider 133. When the motor 131 drives the lead screw 132 to rotate, since the slider 133 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 132 and fixed to the sliding part 12, the slider 133 moves axially along the lead screw 132, and simultaneously drives the sliding part 12 to move accordingly. The motor 131 can drive the lead screw 132 to rotate in a first direction, and it can also drive the lead screw 132 to rotate in the opposite second direction. Therefore, the slider 133 can reciprocate along the axial direction of the lead screw 132, driving the sliding part 12 to reciprocate, and the size of the first main body 1 increases or decreases accordingly. The slider 133 is directly fixed to the sliding part 12, and can smoothly drive the sliding part 12 to move.

[0046] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, the drive assembly 13 further includes a base 134, which is connected to the fixing part 11. The motor 131, the lead screw 132, and the slider 133 are disposed on the base 134. The drive assembly 13 is assembled into a single unit via the base 134, which facilitates the assembly of electronic devices.

[0047] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, the drive assembly 13 further includes a guide rail 135, which is disposed on the base 134 and is arranged parallel to the lead screw 132. The slider 133 is slidably connected to the guide rail 135. By setting the guide rail 135, the slider 133 can slide along the guide rail 135, which can make the slider 133 run smoothly.

[0048] See Figure 9In one embodiment, a rotation sensor 4 is provided on the base 134. The rotation sensor 4 is used to check the rotation state of the motor 131. The electronic device determines the working state of the drive assembly 13 based on the signal detected by the rotation sensor 4 and the position of the slider 133. When the slider 133 moves to the target position, such as the first position or the second position, if the rotation sensor 4 detects that the motor 131 is not rotating, the electronic device determines that the drive assembly 13 is working normally; otherwise, the drive assembly 13 is malfunctioning. Alternatively, when the slider 133 has not moved to the target position, such as the first position or the second position, if the rotation sensor 4 detects that the motor 131 is rotating, the electronic device determines that the drive assembly 13 is working normally; otherwise, the drive assembly 13 is malfunctioning. The rotation sensor 4 includes an encoder.

[0049] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, a position sensor 6 is provided on the base 134. The position sensor 6 is used to check the position of the slider 133. The electronic device commands the motor 131 to start or stop according to the detection signal of the sensor. The sliding part 12 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the fixed part 11. In the first position, the overall size of the sliding part 12 and the fixed part 11 is the smallest, and in the second position, the overall size of the sliding part 12 and the fixed part 11 is the largest. Depending on the position of the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11, the electronic device can have different forms. When the sliding part 12 is in the first position relative to the fixed part 11, the electronic device is in a first form, and the size of the part of the flexible screen 3 used for display is the smallest. When the sliding part 12 is in the second position relative to the fixed part 11, the electronic device is in a second form, and the size of the part of the flexible screen 3 used for display is the largest.

[0050] The electronic device may have only a first form and a second form, where the sliding part 12 moves to a first position or a second position relative to the fixed part 11. The position sensor 6 determines whether the sliding part 12 has reached the first or second position by detecting the position of the slider 133 and sends a detection signal. Based on the detection signal, the electronic device commands the motor 131 to stop when the sliding part 12 moves to the first or second position. Two position sensors 6 may be provided, each with a lead screw 132 at both ends to detect the position of the slider 133.

[0051] The electronic device can also have intermediate forms besides the first and second forms, where the sliding part 12 can move relative to the fixed part 11 to one or more positions between the first and second positions, allowing the electronic device to have a larger display size. The position sensor 6 can detect any position of the slider 133 between the first and second positions. The position sensor 6 may include a variable resistor structure, and as the slider 133 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 132, the current generated by the variable resistor structure changes linearly. Based on the current signal output by the variable resistor structure, the position of the slider 133 can be determined. When the slider 133 moves to the target position, the electronic device commands the motor 131 to stop.

[0052] In one embodiment, there are at least two sets of drive components 13, which are arranged in parallel on the fixed part 11. The at least two sets of drive components 13 arranged in parallel together drive the sliding part 12 to move relative to the fixed part 11.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second edge 32 is connected to one end of the tension rope 5, and the other end of the tension rope 5 passes around the first structure 8 disposed on the second main body 2 and is connected to the first edge 31. The tension rope 5 connects the first edge 31 and the second edge 32 respectively, so that the flexible screen 3 remains flat during the overall size change of the fixed part 11 and the sliding part 12.

[0054] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first edge 31 is fixed to the sliding part 12, and the second edge 32 is disposed inside the second body 2. The second edge 32 is connected to one end of the tension rope 5, and the other end of the tension rope 5 passes around the first structure 8 disposed on the second body 2 and passes around the second structure 9 disposed on the fixed part 11 to connect with the sliding part 12. The two ends of the tension rope 5 are located between the first structure 8 and the second structure 9.

[0055] When the sliding part 12 moves to the second position relative to the fixed part 11, since the first edge 31 is fixed to the fourth end 122 of the sliding part 12, the first edge 31 of the flexible screen 3 moves together with the sliding part 12, and the flexible screen 3 stored in the second main body 2 is released accordingly. The second edge 32 moves in the direction of the hinge, and one end of the tension rope 5 connected to the second edge 32 moves accordingly. The tension rope 5 passes around the first structure 8 and the second structure 9 to pull the other end. The other end of the tension rope 5 is connected to the sliding part 12 and moves together with the sliding part 12. During this process, the tension rope 5 keeps the flexible screen 3 flat.

[0056] When the sliding part 12 moves relative to the fixed part 11 to the first position, the end of the tension rope 5 connected to the sliding part 12 moves accordingly. The tension rope 5 passes around the second structure 9 and the first structure 8, pulling the end connected to the second edge 32, thereby partially housing the flexible screen 3 inside the second body 2 through the second edge 32. During this process, the tension rope 5 keeps the flexible screen 3 flat.

[0057] The first structure 8 and the second structure 9 may each include a pulley 75, and the tension rope 5 passes over the pulley 75 of the first structure 8 and the pulley 75 of the second structure 9 respectively. The pulley 75 can reduce the resistance to the movement of the tension rope 5.

[0058] In one embodiment, the tension rope 5 can have a certain elasticity. The tension rope 5 is an elastic rope that can provide tension to the flexible screen 3, maintain the tension of the flexible screen 3, and keep the flexible screen 3 flat.

[0059] See Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second body 2 is provided with a tensioning mechanism 7, which is used to provide tension force to the flexible screen 3 by the tension rope 5. At least one of the first structure 8 and the second structure 9 is a tensioning mechanism 7, or a tensioning mechanism 7 may be provided separately.

[0060] See Figure 10 In one embodiment, the tensioning mechanism 7 includes a base 71, a slide rod 72, a slide block 73, a spring 74, and a pulley 75. The slide rod 72 is mounted on the base 71, and the slide block 73 is slidably connected to the slide rod 72. Specifically, the slide block 73 may be sleeved on the slide rod 72, and the spring 74 is sleeved on the slide rod 72. One end of the spring 74 abuts against the base 71, and the other end abuts against the slide block 73. The pulley 75 is mounted on the slide block 73. The tension rope 5 passes around the pulley 75. Under the action of the spring 74, the pulley 75 acts on the tension rope 5, keeping the tension rope 5 under tension. The tension rope 5 reacts to the pulley 75 to counteract the elastic force applied by the spring 74 to the slide block 73. When the first structure 8 is the tensioning mechanism 7, the base 71 is fixed to the second main body 2. When the second structure 9 is the tensioning mechanism 7, the base 71 is connected to the fixing part 11. There can be two slide rods 72, which are arranged in parallel, and a spring 74 is fitted on each slide rod 72.

[0061] The tensioning mechanism 7 may also include a limiting seat 76, which is mounted on the base 71 and has two limiting grooves. The two ends of the tension rope 5 that passes over the pulley 75 are respectively located in one limiting groove. The limiting seat 76 can prevent the tension rope 5 from falling off the pulley 75.

[0062] In one embodiment, a posture sensor is provided on the first body 1 to detect the posture of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2. The electronic device controls the drive component 13 according to the signal detected by the posture sensor. The posture sensor can detect whether the electronic device is in use. When the angle of the first body 1 relative to the second body 2 reaches a certain range, it can be determined that the electronic device is in use. The electronic device can then control the drive component 13 to start, thereby adjusting the position of the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the size of the display area of ​​the flexible screen 3.

[0063] Of course, the movement of the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 can also be achieved through user operation. The electronic device may include adjustment keys, which the user operates by pressing, pushing, or other actions to cause the drive component 13 to move the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 to the corresponding position.

[0064] In one optional embodiment, after the electronic device is turned on, the user presses the adjustment key, which activates the drive component 13, causing the sliding part 12 to move relative to the fixed part 11 from a first position to a second position. Pressing the adjustment key again causes the drive component 13 to move the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 from the second position to the first position.

[0065] Alternatively, when the electronic device receives a power-off command, it instructs the drive assembly 13 to move the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 from the second position to the first position.

[0066] In another optional embodiment, the user pushes the adjustment key in a first direction, causing the drive assembly 13 to move the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 from a first position to a second position. When the user releases the adjustment key or reaches the second position, the drive assembly 13 stops. Conversely, when the user pushes the adjustment key in a second direction, the drive assembly 13 moves the sliding part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 from a second position to a first position. When the user releases the adjustment key or reaches the first position, the drive assembly 13 stops.

[0067] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this disclosure can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0068] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this disclosure, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0069] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this disclosure should be determined by the scope of the claims.
